Astroturf (WP) group, ostensibly a mix of neo-conservatives and 'leftists', actually hardline anticommunists, who placed an advertisement in The New York Times that urged the deployment of NATO forces in Yugoslavia in 1999, just after the bombing campaign Operation Allied Force had begun.

Article and list of the group at SourceWatch.org

An ad calling for ground forces would have a "foot in the door" effect on an air war, attempting to shift the debate from "should we have an air war in Yugoslavia?" to, "should we expand the war to a ground war?". A similar effect is seen by psychological testers, who give subjects a pair of values for an entity, eg the price of an item or the number of spectators at a sporting event. While the lower value is kept the same, the higher number is changed, but a significant number of subjects guess somewhere in the middle of the two ranges each time. The expectations are changed by the addition of the second data.
