Secretary of Defense William Cohen is a Republican, isn't he?? And every week you see US Senators and Representatives --from both GOP and Democratic party-- travelling, sometimes husband and wife, to Albania's refugee camps. They all say the same story to the press, basically: ''the refugees agree on NATO bombings, these deprived people want to go back to their home, our military personel are ready and morale is high among our troops''.
Notwithstanding, I don't think that GOP leaders make a habit of shying away from supporting their military abroad! That's why I believe that Balkans's next Summer's gonna be hot...

You bet. Clinton knows how cruel a ground war would be, which he learnt from the heart when he escaped the draft during Vietnam war.

Agreed DD. If the US makes a serious push for a ground war, the war will end, period. Italy, for one, will back off and run, or else the government will collapse. In either case, Italian bases are out of the equation, and the likelihood of Greece, Macedonia, and Hungary changing their minds is very slim indeed. Pushing a ground war at this point will just plain and simple end the war.
