the targeting of civilians had left an estimated 1,500-2,000 civilians and combatants dead." ... Everyone agrees on that. However, most civilian killings were apparently perpetrated by the KLA against other Albanians

The article was about the killings and refugees from Kosovo before the bombings even took place. Your link was about some revenge killings that took place after the war was over. It is irrelevant to the point that it was the Serbs that caused the massive refugee flow, not NATO bombs. The bombs were not yet falling and there were 1,500-2,000 dead and 463,000 people were already forced from their homes.

The 463,000 figure is from the UNHCR, not "George Soros", LOL.

Mark, Seems you are fond of Churchill school of Statistics.

Any number using percentage of total Kosovo population is bogus -there was no census in Kosovo since 1981 because Albanians BOYCOTTED 1991 census. All population figures are ESTIMATES. And very curious.

MSM reports throughout 1990's claimed that Kosovo is province of 2,000,000 whose 90% Albanian population seeks independence. The number was uniform throughout the years, regardless of the fact that Albanians have birth rate of 2.7% (yes, two point seven percent)

Population of 2 million and 90% is perhaps correct TODAY, AFTER Albanians ETHNICALLY CLEANSED 300,000 Serbs, Roma, Croats and others and 400,000+ citizens of Albania settled illegally in Kosovo with NATO's blesssing.

To unsuspecting observer, the numbers fit. That was the aim of 2 Million figure in the 1990's. Anyone with basic understanding of statistics will figere there is something very wrong with the numbers.

Just to remind you that settlilng population during occupation is a war crime per Geneva convention.

Speaking of "The bombs were not yet falling and there were 1,500-2,000 dead" how many were murdered by KLA terrorists?

The KLA was busy killing dissenting Albanians both before and during NATO's war (and after too). Serbian authorities had compiled and presented detailed info with names and dates. On the contrary, allegations of Serb atrocities have invariably been poor on detail and rich in speculation and reliance on obscure sources, usually traceable to the KLA propaganda machine. Most of the numbers you quoted are from the Soros hrw link. The 463k prewar (and even pre - March 19) displaced was indeed from a UNCHR spokesperson (assuming that the quote of your link is accurate), but it was directly contradicted even by the CIA-infiltrated KVM and never officially promoted, let alone supported by real data. That number is as valid as William Cohen's "100k dead".

Great, a third world, lying, anti-American swarm instead of a fascist, billionaire, lying anti-American, fanatic...quoted like it was a serious element of discussion...LOL.

As to religion, it's been a matter of religion on my part that the intervention in 'FRY' was wrong, period. Wrong when no one had threatened the USA, every piece of information the public had was hopelessly biased (lies) and every neighboring state had a hand in the dissolution of Yugoslavia. And now wrong that a grand inquisition is enthroned and conducting a self-righteous judicial satire in order to assure that history is written so as to absolve the sins committed by Yugoslavia's neighbors and one time allies.
