Article Abstract:

Some members of the UK Conservative party have become aware that Prime Minister Tony Blair's rhetoric about Nato military action to protect the ethnic Albanians in Kosovo, Yugoslavia, will prove empty unless his aim of returning ethnic Albanian refugees to their homes can be achieved. They feel that this will prove a very valuable weapon as they seek to destroy Blair's invulnerability. This is a unique example of Conservative party leader William Hague having an advantage over Blair.
