By most standards, Kosovo has been a debacle for Milosevic. His army and police are now in retreat. A U.N. tribunal has indicted him for war crimes. He has essentially lost the Yugoslav province of Kosovo, something he swore he'd never do.
Thousands are dead.
Hundreds of thousands are refugees. The economy is in tatters. So many people died, civilians and soldiers. Indeed, Milosevic himself gave the first military casualty figures of the war yesterday. He said 462 soldiers and 114 police officers had been killed in 11 weeks.
