As much as this annoys my Serbian friends here, the NATO campaign was fairly fought according to the laws of war as they really are. The Serbians put up a tough resistance and were clever in their dispositions, but they were defeated, especially when the Hungarians allowed NATO forces to deploy in their country, putting Belgrade within range of U.S. multiple rocket launcher range.
It might not have been a wise war, but it was a fair war.
What laws of war do you speak of???? That war was immoral, illegal, and launched without authorization by Congress....and you call that fair?
Case in point: In 1995, NATO bombed the Bosnian Serbs over the Markale market place massacre.
Yossef Bodansky, the author of "Bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War on America," wrote in his book "Offensive in the Balkans," the following:
Phase Three started with the self-inflicted major terrorist provocation. On Friday 5, 1994, a major explosion rocked the Markale -- Sarajevo's main market place -- causing heavy casualties. What was immediately described as the ubiquitous "Serb mortar shell" was actually a special charge designed and built with help from HizbAllah experts and then most likely dropped from a nearby rooftop onto the crowd of shoppers Video cameras at the ready recorded this expertly-staged spectacle of gore, while dozens of corps of Bosnian Muslim troops killed in action (exchanged the day before in a 'body swap' with the Serbs) were paraded in front of cameras to raise the casualty counts.
"This callous self-killing was designed to shock the West especially sentimental and gullible Washington, in order to raise the level of Western sympathy to the Bosnian Muslims and further demonize the Serbs so that Western governments would be more supportive of Sarajevo's forthcoming aggressive moves, and perhaps even finallyintervene military."
There were other reports from European newspapers such as The Sunday Times," with headlines that read, "Serbs 'not guilty' of massacre, Experts warned US that mortar was Bosnian." (1 Oct. 1995), and "US Framed Serbs for Market Bombing," from the Stoneyhill Center, a British think tank. (Oct 1995).
Our wag-the-dog President needed a cover for his Monica scandal and his draft-dodging days - and the Serbs were conveniently there.
FAIR? There was nothing FAIR about Clinton's war against the Serbian people. The whole war was based on one big lie, just as our now Secretary of State talked about how she came under sniper fire from Bosnian Serbs. People like you wouldn't know the truth if it came up and bit you on your......posterior!
You have Serbian friends? May God help them! With friends like you, they don't need enemies!
