Thanks for your interpretation, it is an interesting read, especially if you are indeed the one you claim to be.

I only wonder what kept you so long from discovering Free Republic or how you could resist to be a lurker for so long, until I posted that January 15 1999 was the key impeachment trial day?

I agree with your statement that "unfortunately, many people took their OPINIONS as fact". Everyone can have an opinion, how informed it is, is another issue.

Take for example your opinion that "I also have seldom seen a group of people more pro-American than the Albanians."

Sure, there is a main street in Pristina named after Bill Clinton. But Albanians are not only pro-American. Albanians were also pro-Hitler during WWII, pro-Communist dictator Tito after WWII and pro-American today. It is safe to assume they are pro-anyone who would help them illegally settle in Kosovo, steal the land from the rightful owners and expell the rest. You failed to mention that pesky detail.

Also your opinion that "After that and a few other incidents in Jan 99, the Serbs got what they desrved."

"The Serbs got what they deserved" is a racist statement. It implies collective guilt and justification of collective punishment. Also, Serbia is a home to 29 ethnic groups and they all got bombed, posoned with DU, PCB and other toxic spillout and their livelihoods destroyed.

Perhaps Clinton indeed did not have an agenda in Kosovo january 15 1999, however it is hard to believe in it. Bombing targets were selected in October 1998. After that it was one-way street.

Since you promised to stand by the claims you call facts, I will adress them one by one to make it easier to follow.

My aim is not confrontation but getting the record straight.

Para_501 You claim that you "..wrote the original report which the quoted report used as a source". Also that "We spent a couple of hours documenting the evidence ..."

I guess that the 45 names in Schedule A were taken from KDOM report.

There are 45 names listed. Only 22 have approximate age listed. 23 do not. It is rather odd, having in mind the tight-knit community Albanians live in. Their relatives and neighbors, schoolmates and friends did not know how old they were?

Since you stand by the facts, can you explain why the ages of 23 persons are missing? Was it your sloppiness while making the KDOM report ,Racak inhabitants did not know the dead personally or something else?

I only discovered Free Republic about a month ago when a co-worker told me about it. I don't generally post on forums but when I read the post again claiming that Racak was a hoax I had to respond.

I retract my statement that the Serbs got what they deserved. That was unfair. However, I do believe that Milosavik and the MUPs got what they deserved.

Bombing targets were selected in October 1998. After that it was one-way street.

That is standard military procedure in the US. We have contingency plans, made well in advance, for everything.
