I'd be interested in seeing any estimate the KVM made of the total IDPs and refugees from Kosovo and your rationale as to why it would be better than the number of 463,000 established by UNHCR, the Agency actually responsible for refugees.
William Cohen's "100k dead".
Cohen never said "100,000 dead". There's a big hint as to what he actually said in the article's headline: U.S. defense secretary: Up to 100,000 Kosovar men missing
Cohen further said that 4,600 Kosovar men were already believed to have been executed and the 100,000 "may have been murdered". Given the mass graves already spotted, refugee reports, and Slobo's past propensity for using mass murder as a way of adjusting unfavorable ethnic balances, Cohen's statement is reasonable. It is not, however, as you falsely claim, a statement that there are 100,000 dead.
Here is what William Cohen actually said May 16 1999 on Face the Nation.
The message is made of the words, tone of the voice, context and innuendo, credibility of the speaker. When judging the message, both the exact words and sinister overtone must be considered to judge impact to the viewers:
FRIEDMAN: Yet, Mr. Secretary, it hasn't stopped him from evicting a million and a half Kosovars.
COHEN: That's true. He has the so-called MUP forces or police on the ground. He has over 40,000 inside Kosovo. And we knew from the very beginning that he had that capability and he had the intent to displace these peoples. As a matter of fact, he has put about a million and a half people out of their homes, and we are now seeing about 100,000 ilitary-age men missing. We have seen 500 --
FRIEDMAN: Do you think there could be 100,000 people either missing or having been murdered, as many?
COHEN: I think that they are missing. They may have been murdered. We have had reports that as many as 4,600 have been executed. But I suspect it's far higher than that."
Here comes the ugly rub, having in mind that Cohen is Jewish himslef:
"But I'd also point out, for the Serbs to lament publicly about the deaths of these refugees is almost tantamount to Adolf Eichmann complaining about Allied forces bombing the crematoriums."
HOLOCAUST ANALOGY WAS THE MAIN THEME OF PROPAGANDA DURING CLINTON AGGRESSION ON YUGOSLAVIA in spite the fact that
-Jews were not having armed rebelion against Nazi state
-Jews did not have 15,000 strong terrorist organisation attacking Wehrmacht.
-Jews were not murdering Germans and Jews
-Jews were EXTERMINATED, Albanians have run away from NATO bombing and followed KLA orders
The use HOLOCAUST for KOSOVO is an insult to the memory of 6 million who perished in THE HOLOCAUST. It was the the most shameful act, especially having in mind that Albanians were NAZIS during WWII. Jews in Germany have publicly protested this propaganda abuse. Jewish Americans were not only silent, but actively disseminated HOLOCAUST REVISIONISM PLOY. (Holocaust? Yeah, right, like Kosovo)
