Clinton killed 3,000 Serbs? Are you nuts? That’s a figure that even Milosevic wouldn’t have used.
Not so. The figure was between 1,200 to 2,500 civilians and 1,002 soldiers. Human Rights Watch has the civilian figures as low as 489. That’s still about one civilian for ever soldier. The Human Rights Watch figures do not include civilian deaths from the aftermath of the bombing (deaths caused because of the destruction of targeted hospitals, bridges, etc.).
But hey, look on the bright side. You’re supporting the Klintonista creation of a new Islamo-fascist state in Europe. Be proud.
BTW, if you think this is over and the Serbs “lost,” you don’t know the history of Kosovo very well.

You mean in the way that Milosevic killed 300 000 Albanians and put them in mass graves? Well, no, I`m affraid those victims were real one not virtual.
The number's certainly in the thousands, and even NATO admits that the number could easily be at least 1,500. With 36,000 sorties, in which 23,000 bombs and missiles were dropped over a period of 78 days, including on the city of Belgrade and other populstion centers, if the USAF didn't hit anything besides the dummy tanks and decoy mobile missile launchers made out of old cars and plywood, the American taxpayers sure weren't getting their money's worth. And of course the airstrike in early May in which a NATO aircraft attacked an Albanian refugee convoy was not one of the USAF's sterling moments, as was not the Grdelica gorge train bombing of Serbian Easter worshipers en route to religious services in which a dozen or so were killed.
Per Wikipedia:
Civilians killed by NATO airstrikes
Main article: Targeting of civilian areas during Operation Allied Force
Yugoslavia claimed that NATO attacks caused between 1,200 and 5,700 civilian casualties. NATO acknowledged killing at most 1,500 civilians. Human Rights Watch counted a minimum of 488 civilian deaths (90 to 150 of them killed from cluster bomb use) in 90 separate incidents. Attacks in Kosovo overall were more deadly - a third of the incidents account for more than half of the deaths.[
Per the Army War College article *here*
If our objectives in Kosovo were not worth the life of a single American soldier or aviator, why were they worth the lives of so many Albanian Kosovars, indeed so many Serbs? Professional soldiers know that what makes soldiers unique is their intimate relationship with human life--and with human death. In the Star Wars movies, it is the Evil Empire that obliterates its enemies while acting from the safety of the Death Star. That is not a model to be emulated. A nation that is all too willing to kill in support of its interests and ideals but not willing to suffer may be feared, but it also will be held in contempt by adversaries and friends alike.Sounds a bit like someone with a guilty conscience regretting the blood on his hands.... And there's one more telling observation:
In a Thanksgiving 1999 speech to American troops in Kosovo, Clinton proclaimed, “Thanks to you, we have reversed ethnic cleansing.”
