Neocon, Here is my next prediction: Manufactured Consent! The heavily armed "peacekeepers" (I love the Orwellian language being used by NATO) being massed on the Albanian and Macedonian border are not there for the participation in a peace deal after Milosevic agrees to pull out the troops. They are in fact, a defacto invasion force being prepared to go in and defeat the Yugoslavian Army in Kosovo. However, one problem remains that most people, and many of the NATO governments, are vehemently against a ground war. There in lies the problem. Just like LBJ and Viet Nam, he needed some kind of excuse to begin the war. Clinton must manufacture "consent" for this invasion. It will come in the form of some kind of phoney excuse. My guess will be that "Evil Serbs shelled a refugee camp" or that we had to invade some part of Kosovo to prevent women from being raped or something. At any rate, the end game is near, the ground war is coming, and NATO needs to tell a big lie in order to charge. -John
