True. NATO now knows that ground troops are required yet it will take weeks to organize and convince a dubious public; by that time the Kosovo Albanians will be driven out.

Based on what I hear on MSNBC they would need to send 200,000 men. Current NATO ground forces in the area are only "peace-keeping" equipped; not sufficiently equiped for a real ground war with an enemy that is dug-in and willing to die for their country.
