...Draskovic may once have been the opposition leader most threatening to Milosevic, as he led hundreds of thousands of protesters through the streets of Belgrade in the winter of 1996. But Milosevic managed to draw him into a national unity government during the Kosovo war, and his continued feuding with rival oppositionists, and the government's seizure of the Belgrade TV station he controlled, appear to have pushed him to the margins. It isn't only Draskovic that's on the skids, however; it's the very idea of overthrowing Milosevic. "The center of gravity of opposition has not only...
...through his oral exams when he faces reporters on the subject. But lately George W. Bush has shown some new smarts, swimming in waters that previously seemed over his head to counter those impressions. He helped Bill Clinton turn back a shortsighted Republican move to pull U.S. troops from Kosovo. It would "tie the President's hand," he intoned presidentially. And because Bush is not labor's candidate, he could afford to be more enthusiastic than the Democratic Veep in lobbying Capitol Hill to pass Clinton's China-trade bill...
...tons of weapons-grade plutonium, but White House aides are setting expectations very, very low on the Star Wars discussions. "I do not expect any agreements to be reached on these issues," National Security Adviser Samuel Berger told CNN on Sunday.

More than 250 fixed targets were attacked, including airfields, communications facilities, fuel depots, and military and police headquarters. The more than 1,000 strikes conducted against enemy forces in Kosovo--while not destroying as much Serbian military equipment as analysts initially thought--kept these forces largely undercover and ineffective...
...mostest" at the expense of the "fustest." The Army has a cold war hangover: the war machines of a U.S. armored division tip the scales at 300,000 tons. It took the molasses-like movement of the Army's AH-64 Apache helicopters to Albania during last year's Kosovo conflict to make planners publicly admit this is no way to fight a war in the future. "Our heavy forces are too heavy, and our light forces lack staying power," General Eric Shinseki declared as he assumed command of the Army last year. To make the U.S. military lighter...
