Pentagon pushes full-scale invasion plan

<< Key figures in the Pentagon are asking the White House to consider a full-scale invasion of Serbia in which Nato would capture Belgrade, topple President Slobodan Milosevic and haul his regime before the International War Crimes Tribunal.

The plan, divulged by a senior official in the Clinton administration, is by far the most extreme solution yet offered in the debate over whether to deploy ground troops in Kosovo.

It would involve an invasion through the new Nato ally, Hungary, allowing tanks to move on to the plains of the Serb province of Vojvodina.

Hawks within the Pentagon are presenting the Hungary option as the only way to avoid the "Baghdad scenario" - in which, like President Saddam Hussein in Iraq, Mr Milosevic would remain in power in Belgrade even after the conflict has been resolved.

Despite its controversial content, the proposal is understood to have the backing of Nato supreme commander General Wesley Clark. >>
