According to our information, there were 800,000 mercenaries
Well, your information was wildly wrong. There are only 2 million people total living in Kosovo. 800,000 mercenaries means a force equal to 40% of Kosovo's population and with a land area of 4000 square miles, it also means there were 200 mercenaries camped out in every single square mile of Kosovo. Right. The KLA may have had as many as 20,000 active fighters at its peak in 1999 with perhaps that many again part-timers. Estimates vary, but none quite as wildly as Slobo's most recent "witness."
The flight of Kosovo Albanians "was the result of the bombing of NATO", he added.
Serb talking points. Unfortunately, just like with the Dems, the facts don't back up the mantra. By the beginning of March 1999, prior to the begining of the bombing, the combination of fighting and the targeting of civilians had left an estimated 1,500-2,000 civilians and combatants dead. More than 200,000 Albanian civilians were internally displaced, almost 70,000 Albanians had fled the province to neighboring countries and Montenegro, and a further 100,000 Yugoslav nationals, mostly Kosovar Albanians, had sought asylum in Western Europe. By March 19th, still before the bombing, a total of 443,000 or 22% of Kosovo's mostly Albanian population had been displaced.
I am sure the pro-Jihadists on FR will start with racism to deny this
