Mr. Speaker, in Wednesday's debate on Kosovo the Minister of National Defence said “As the Minister of Foreign Affairs clearly stated we are not going in under some warlike condition”. The same day the Russian Duma passed an unanimous motion that in the case of force they would have the right to help Belgrade defend itself. NATO says today it will have to use force.
Did the minister change his mind between Wednesday and today, and under whose authority? Was Wednesday's debate just another PR exercise?
