Here comes the backtracking. The Canadian PM is running interference for Clinton. In a while Clinton will say "it won't be fair if the other NATO countries send in ground troops and the US doesn't" or someting to that effect. Then we're in and the so are the body bags.
Sheeeeze.

Blair paves way for ground troops, would defend Montenegro

<< TONY BLAIR signalled a stepping-up of the Balkans conflict last night by confirming that Nato was preparing to send ground troops into Kosovo before Slobodan Milosevic had been defeated.

Before flying to Washington for talks with President Clinton before this weekend's Nato summit, Mr Blair indicated that troops would go in as soon as Serb resistance had been sufficiently diminished. He also warned Belgrade that Nato would defend Montenegro against Serb aggression, amid growing fears that the Kosovo conflict is spreading. Nato said Serb artillery had shelled sites in Albania, 200 Serb troops had crossed the Albanian border, another 200 to 300 had entered a UN demilitarised zone on the border with Croatia and uniformed troops were said to be carrying out killings in Montenegro. >>
