But some in the military hierarchy are also wary of being caught in the potential quagmire of a guerrilla war in a Chechen winter. If anything, though, that fear may propel them to accelerate the timetable of their Chechnya campaign. So the question may become not whether the Russians plan to capture Grozny, but whether they're prepared to pay the price for holding...
