...impeachment.) This simple, singular fact will overpower other things for which Clinton might take credit: half a dozen years of unexampled prosperity; a balanced budget; a capture of the political middle from the Republicans; and persistent efforts to stop the killing in Northern Ireland, the Middle East, Bosnia and Kosovo...
...Pentagon has already given it a name--Operation Joint Guardian. It would probably begin by sending in the Marines. More than 2,000 leathernecks now on ships floating in the Mediterranean would be the first wave to chopper into Kosovo. They'd be part of a 4,000-strong U.S. presence in a NATO peacekeeping force of 28,000. Red lines are even being drawn on maps. American G.I.s would control a sector of Kosovo. British, French, German and Italian forces would carve up other sectors. But no NATO soldiers will set foot in the province if the Serbs...

Yugoslav president and Serb leader Slobodan Milosevic stretched the U.S.' Kosovo ultimatum to the breaking point late Tuesday by ruling out a NATO ground force in his country. After meeting with U.S. envoy Christopher Hill -- who was bearing news that the ethnic Albanian rebels appeared ready to deal -- Milosevic released a statement saying, "Our negative stand about the presence of foreign troops is not only the attitude of the leadership, but also of all citizens in our country." Bluster? Definitely. Bluff? Madeleine Albright certainly hopes so -- because...
...Milosevic knows that NATO knows that sending in ground troops, however unpleasant (and risky), is strategically preferable to air strikes -- bombers over Kosovo would have little efficacy as peacekeepers. So as the Saturday deadline nears for the ongoing negotiations in Paris, it's time for Milosevic to squeeze the mediators for all he can get before giving in. If he doesn't, then NATO will have to send in the bombs, as promised. Much death and destruction will ensue, with little risk for the 2,200 U.S. Marines waiting in the Mediterranean for a go-ahead.
