...Pentagon weighed deploying several thousand ground troops to Kosovo, an event in nearby Bosnia last week highlighted just how wrong the Clinton Administration was when in 1995 it assured Congress that troops would not stay there long. The Pentagon opened what's basically a Wal-Mart PX at Task Force Eagle, the central base for G.I.s deployed in Bosnia.

If the Albanians unilaterally block a deal, the U.S. warns there will be no air strikes on the Serbs and no Western intervention on the ground...
