one reporter told Bush. Making news

Exactly! Amazing, huh?

[NYC Republican]

A Democratic president is MUCH better than being a RINO!

Do you really believe your tag-line?

[Howlin]

No. It's a jab at those who don't think Bush is conservative enough and aren't going to vote for him.

I thought so... For a moment, I thought you'd gone over to the dark side. Thanks for clarifying!

We all saw the carnage in Bosnia, Croatia, and Kosovo, and we needed to act

Carnage in Kosovo? Seem like as much carnage has happened after the war as before the war. One third of all those killed in Kosovo were Yugoslav police. They were being killed for going after the seperatist who wanted an independent country.

More than 200,000 Serbs have fled the province since the "end of major hostilities" because of constant attacks like this one. "An elderly Serb couple and their son were axed to death and their house was set on fire in one of the worst incidents of violence in Kosovo in recent months", said a United Nations official. The flow of refugees continues as they are run out their homes or forced to sell them for next to nothing or suffer the consequences. Since the deployment of KFOR and UNMIK in Kosovo and Metohija on June 10, 1999 to August 9 of this year 6,535 attacks have been reported. In those attacks 1,201 people have died, 1,328 have been injured and 1,146 people have just "disappeared". Most of the victims have been Serbs and Montenegrins and these attacks have gone on right under the noses of U.N. 'Peacekeepers'. They continue on a daily basis.

>>>>>I said it was over 500,000. You said it was 800-1 million- that's higher than any figure I've ever seen. How is saying over 500k deaths wrong?<<<

800,000 is established number of Rwanda Genocide. Following the logic that there is nothing wrong with expressing 800,000 number as "over 500,000" one may use the same rationale and claim that Holocaust loss was over 2,000,000. "6,000,000 is over 2,000,000 so How is saying over 2M deaths wrong?

See?

Anyway, back to Gen. Wesley Clark. Look up what position Gen. Clark held in Pentagon at the time Rwanda Genocide took place in 1994.

[NYC Republican]

Care to show proof of the 800k? By the way, tossing in the Nazi comparison is pretty low, even for you.

[NYC Republican]

Look at this site- I just pulled it up on a simple google search - the 200k figure is the one used for Bosnia, the Rwanda figure is disputed, as I had suspected http://www-sul.stanford.edu/depts/ssrg/misc/misery.html

[alternatediscourse]

I dispute your 200K figure as those numbers were grossly inflated, less than 100,000 deaths occurred.

Stop rewriting history and we will no longer feel the need to "re-write" your statements, missy.

[alternatediscourse]

Andy, do not forget the near attack on me by 3 Albanians on the Kosovoska Mitrovica (Northside) while I accidently entered Lil Bosna,along the Ibra River.

[alternatediscourse]

Who are Bosnians? Define that, please,in your own words, explain how and when "Bosnia" became their own seperate country with their own seperate histroy,their own seperate language, their own seperate customs. Please, I need education on this matter. I am giving a university lecture Friday night, with the Muslim Student Organization as Student Union Sponsor.

[NYC Republican]

Total lies from you, as usual. Kosovo, Croatia, and Albania are the most pro-American countries/regions in the area. Stop spewing your lies, do us a favor.

[NYC Republican]

Look at your web-site- it's all about Serbs, which is fine, but it makes you a little subjective in this topic, no?

Your hate for others is DISGRACEFUL.

[NYC Republican]

You're showing links from REDTEAM news, not even Debka.

PURE LIES and PROPOGANDA, Milosevic-style.

[NYC Republican]

Look at what Debka is sourcing. REDNEWS... Really really reliable source. What trash.

[NYC Republican]

Jihad boy? You're an idiot. Total idiot, who came onto this board to spread hate. It was the Milosevic and his henchmen that were responsible for over 200,000 deaths... You can't dispute that, so you become opportunitic with the current anti-Islam feelings by trying to label all Muslims into one camp. Most people realize that there's a difference between Arabs and non-Arabs.

You're a moron.
