Mr. Speaker, on April 1, General Wesley Clark, the NATO supreme commander directing the air campaign, stated “We can't stop paramilitary actions from the air. We never thought air power alone can stop this kind of paramilitary tragedy”. The U.S. joint chief staffs reportedly agree with General Clark's assessment that a bombing campaign will not work.
What are the immediate long term goals of the NATO air campaign? Has the minister already made a commitment of ground troops to NATO?
