So the argument is that we attacked Serbia for economic reasons? I don't recall that as having been part of the arguments made.

We intervened on falsified reports of Serbs engaging in widespread massacres.

No - we intervened on widespread reports of Serb repression against Kosovar Albanians which were borne out by subsequent events and investigations.

Milosevic was first warned about his mistreatment of Kosovar Albanians in 1992 by Bush the Elder, and had his last real chance of keeping Kosovo in October of 1998. He threw it away in the spring of '99.

Don't worry about hoplite... His argument is that Nato intervened to reverse the exodus of Albanian refugees from Kosovo. He doesn't seem to realize that this exodus happened AFTER the bombing started, ie the bombing caused the refugees, not the other way around.
