Rome – Mauro Del Vecchio, former General of Italian Army who led the unit of 7,000 soldiers that entered Kosovo in June of 1999 after end of NATO air strikes on Serbia told Italian ‘Panorama’ weekly that during the first three weeks of the mandate ‘reports on the found bodies of killed Serbs and Romas arrived on his table each morning’, but that was a taboo topic they were not allowed to speak about with journalists.
‘The killing continued later but not so frequently. Those that have not fled Kosovo were under permanent risk to be killed or raped. Deserted Serbian houses were leveled to the ground or set on fire. Albanians were attacking the churches and monasteries, too. Their goal was to erase every trace of the Serbian presence in Kosovo’, Del Vecchio said......

Why don’t our neo con friends care about this ethnic cleansing? Is it b/c they are Orthodox?
But, but how can that be? The people of Kosovo are religious and practice the peace loving religion of ISLAM?!?!
(sarcasm off)
So far, this story is only in the Serbian media? I couldn’t find any media outside Serbia reporting this story.
Payback’s a bitch.

You should hope that it isn't rudeboy, because if what goes around really comes around, you'll have a lot of really bad karma coming back at you soon enough from the sadistic crap you dish out.
by whose command? - the NATO’s US commander?????
the one who was once a candidate for president??

Bad karma, huh? LOL Let’s talk about the Serbs.
How often has the US acted to protect any sort of Christians abroad from attack or oppression by non-Christians?
Serbs, Muslims, Albanians, Croats and NATO: Who stood for what; who has done what and to whom?

Interview

An interview with two Yugoslavs, one of whom, ironically, was in charge of fixing power equipment damaged by Albanian secessionist saboteurs in the 1980s. Explains the anti-Serb racism, made worse by an enforced silence, which prevailed in Serbia, the bastion of brotherly love, before 1989.
* The movie ‘JUDGMENT!’ shows how in 1992 a British news team doctored innocent fotos to sell the lie that the Bosnian Serbs were running death camps. Destroys the founding argument in the demonization of the Serbs.

Despite public acrimony, the US and Iran have areas of cooperation. Perhaps the best example is Yugoslavia. Why then the mutual denunciation? Because it’s good theater. Iran accuses the US of doing everything for Israel, a message calculated to incite Muslim audiences around the world and increase the strength of antisemitism in general and Muslim extremism in particular, which both the US and Iran foster for geopolitical ends.

neo con
Don’t bother explaining what Neocon means it doesn’t mean anything.
What the "con" stands for sure ain't "conservative"!
Blabber on, I'll set the DVR and fast-forward to the parts where you make a fool of yourself. Oh, wait -- that would be the whole thing!
BTW, re “Why Albanians Fled Kosovo during NATO Bombing” An interview with Cedomir Prlincevic, formerly the Chief Archivist in Pristina (Kosovo) -- Cedomir Prlincevic was the Chief Archivist of the Jewish community in Kosovo. He basically stated that NATO helped the Albanians drive him & the other non-Albanians out, and Albanians from Albania (not Kosovo) came in and took over their homes.
Karma is real I have no doubts. As regards Serbia I fear for the U.S..
