The first fact to establish is the motive for calling for ground force intervention.
I speculate that Mr Robinson's intent is not to make war, but to protect the Kosovars
caught in the middle.

Military force is simply one tool for politicians to employ to achieve national
aims. Politicians don't need to be "qualified" to speak on military matters; they
should however make their intent clear to their military (non-civilian) advisors and
then listen carefully when the advisors explain what is and what is not possible.
