Why don't you share some details of your alleged personal Kosovo experiences instead of continuously citing these unreliable sources? Did you see mosques burning? Can you testify that KLA insurgents were not holed inside, sniping at Serbian forces? Did you care to notice any burnt churches by any chance? Can you tell how many of the burnt houses belonged to Roma, Serbs or anti-KLA Albanians? How many schools were destroyed by NATO bombing? How many of the civilians were expelled by scum like commander Remi?
Even Blair's military attaché, himself obviously a spy and a de facto ally of the KLA at the time, had so much to say incriminating the KLA. One has to wonder why a U.S. military veteran has so much venom against "the Serbs".
My ideas on Kosovo are based on my first-hand experience in the province as well as the documented first-hand experience of others. As Colonel Crosland, the witness cited above, testified, he personally observed HUNDREDS of burning villages. The U.S. Army assistant attache in Belgrade spent extensive time in Kosovo in 98-99, he personally witnessed the same things. I personally saw it after the conflict. Pythag, you have either been hoodwinked by Milosevic propaganda or are an active partner in historical revisionism designed to cover-up the crimes.
You want details of Serb atrocities? Just take a couple minutes and scroll up & down the court transcripts to the witnesses just before & after Crosland--representing a small fraction of the witnesses called against Milosevic:
Go down to page 7320 for eyewitness accounts of Serb forces shelling villages, burning homes, and robbing civilians. Includes a survivor account of the massacre of over 100 civilians at Izbica by Serb police. Then skip down to page 7353 for another eyewitness accounts of Serbs burning houses in Gjakove and killing 20 civilians, mostly women & children as they tried to hide in a basement. He also covers how the Serb police stripped refugees of their identification documents.
Go to page 7499 for more eyewitness accounts of forced expulsion from homes and civilians being robbed by the police.
The middle of page 7535 and down describes the collection of nearly 2,800 statements from Kosovar Albanian refugees and their descriptions of forced expulsions, identity theft, robbery, and home burnings at the hands of the Serbs. A little further down, page 7539-42, the witness explains to Milosevic that the surveys state that the refugees were not fleeing NATO air attack, but “left Kosovo because they were being terrorised by Yugoslav and Serb security forces”.
Instead of just parroting Serb nationalist talking points, educate yourself. Here and here and here are some places you can start--Serb atrocities in Kosovo are well documented. Do a little reading. Open your eyes and your mind.
