Well, the UN may be down in the dumps about Darfur and the EU might be losing its bottle on Chad, but those NATO guys down in Kosovo don’t do fear, even if things are looking edgy.
NATO’s commander in Kosovo brushed aside security threats, saying the 16,000-strong NATO-led force known as KFOR was ready to respond.
“KFOR is everywhere and is ready to face any kind of threat at any time, coming from anywhere,” French Lt. Gen. Xavier Bout de Marnhac told reporters after a brief ceremony at the military base.
I’m assuming that it must have required a good deal of scenario-planning to ascertain that KFOR has indeed reached this state of omnipotent perfection. That, or someone in KFOR HQ has been listening to a bit too much Janet Jackson.
