Even in a storyabout Kosovo's expected secession from Serbia, the Times manages to work in some Iraq War bias. Here's a paragraph from Sunday's piece by Nicholas Kulish from Kosvo, "NATO [1] Says It's Prepared to Keep the Peace in Kosovo [1]."

"NATO has about 16,500 troops on the ground, slightly fewer than it had during the riots in March 2004. And the endgame in Kosovo's drive for independence comes as a distracted and overstretched American military, which still has a contingent in Kosovo, is fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan."
