"It is one of the great outrages of our times, and certainly the most scandalous and unnecessary adventure of the presidency of Bill Clinton, who unleashed his incompetent Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, to declare war on Serbia and persuaded NATO to join in."

WITHOUT the UN's support. Ignored by the same adoring public and politicians that excoriated President Bush for doing the same.

"The spectre of massacres and mass graves resulted in the 1999 decision to bomb Serbia into submitting to a more independent, multicultural Kosovo."

And specters they remain. The only "mass grave" found turned out to be a cemetary.

"It was eventually estimated that four times the number of Kosovo civilians died under NATO bombs, than had been killed by Serbs. The "war," was largely the product of Kosovo Albanians provoking Serbs into retaliatory action, and having a willing international press -- and U.S./NATO staff -- eager to document what they were told."

And where was the outrage? Where is it now? All projected onto President Bush.

The entire thing, from our reason for going in there to the carefully orchestrated propaganda campaign to justify every mistake that was made and every civilian killed. Incidents that, had any of them happened during the WoT, would be pounded and railed against for months. Each.

Remember the passenger train? Clinton lied and people died. Where was the outrage?

I've always said it would keep coming back and biting us in rear, and it has. Over and over.
