White House Weighing U.S. Military Mission to Liberia
By DAVID STOUT

ASHINGTON, July 1 — The White House left the door open today for a possible role by the United States military in bringing peace to Liberia, a West African country that has not known peace for 20 years.

"We're actively discussing how best to support the international efforts to help Liberia return to peace and to the rule of law," the chief White House spokesman, Ari Fleischer, told reporters.

Mr. Fleischer did not give any signal that Mr. Bush had decided to commit American troops. But his comments today, coupled with an unmistakable sense of urgency within the administration, made it clear that the issue of an American military presence in Liberia was at least on the table.
