” . . . but we know no responsible government would do such a thing, don’t we.”

People who live in glass houses . . .

To support the war, your great hero Klinton and his pal Notsobright, through the State Department on April 19, 1999 claimed that the Serbs “were feared to have” killed 500,000 ethnic Albanians. 500,000! Your big “massacre” was 40-45 in Racak. Klinton used a 100,000 murdered figure from Secretary of Defense William Cohen. Those were the numbers the MSM reported.

You’re talking about the Serbs upping the number by a thousand or two for “propaganda” purposes. That argument is, at best, disingenuous.

Maybe you still believe the MSM and the Klintonistas. If that’s the case, I hope you’ll stop being an MSM sucker and wake up!

Really? You see, while it's normal to arrive at a more accurate assesment over time in the West in these matters, as indeed has been the case in Bosnia and Kosovo, the Serbs have managed to go in the opposite direction.

The civilian casualty count was 503 in 2000, and now, 8 years later, it's 1,200 to 2,500.

Feel free to explain how that's not disingenuous.
