Gee......I can't believe the press would intentionally vilify(sp?) a middle aged white male.

Took a look at the emperor-clothes web site. Quite interesting. Has lots of links to back up it's quotes; and excellent critical analysis of comments made during 911 and the following few days.
Nothing like checking it out for ourselves. They have accessible easy to read sources and there are several types of sources. WWW.dcmilitary and ... www.archive.org and enter www.andrews.af.mil ... USA Today, etc.
While I do not yet have an opinion as to how serious this information may be; it certainly brings real concerns to consider.
Propaganda is a deadly thing. Truth is so slanted, scant, scattered, and shorn as to be difficult to discern. A whole new view to wrestle with understanding.
I like George Bush and really want to believe he is a good and honest man. If he too has succumed to lieing and hiding the truth from the people; we are required to ferret it out and not be led down the garden path or to the patriotic stand either, if it is false.
Power can obfuscate and so muddy the water and sky making it impossible to see clearly.

In 1945 Tito came up with an inflated figure of 1.7 million dead in order to be able to ask for a higher level of reparations from Germany. The Yugoslav government later revised its estimate downward but kept the revised figures secret. According to Philip Cohen, Vladimir Zerjavic's research was supported by the Jewish community of Zagreb. Zerjavic's figure for the total dead in WWII was 1,027,000, almost identical to the figure arrived at by a Serbian scholar, Bogoljub Kocovic, whose figure was 1,014,000 (including 487,000 Serbs and 207,000 Croats). A study done for the US Bureau of the Census in 1954 came up with a total of 1,067,000 dead.

The far-right views him as a traitor, the right as an authoritarian and criminal, and the centre as an authoritarian dictator.So Slobo clearly was not a nationalist, nor a patriot for that matter. The article is, therefore, on target.

Bump. Why were the Serbs targeted in this way? Several reasons, all of which together do not add up to a case and the pentagon told Slick not to do it. Slick needed something to get the Juanita Broaddrick story off the front pages of our newspapers at the time and Kosovo was it. Slick and his flunkies were reported to be doing high-fives and talking about hitting a home run two weeks later.
The reasons (none of which had anything to do with Albanian Kosovars) included:
- Yugoslavia being a saliant in what was otherwise a solid block of NATO territory.
- Obtaining Albanian permission for pipeline building.
- George Soros and other FOBs wanting to get their hands on the Trepca mines.
- Fear of Albanian diaspora destabalizing NATO countries, particularly Italy.
There might have been one or two others, but those are the major ones. Basically, to take a totally credible allegation of rape and sexual assault against Slick Klintler off the front pages of our journals, we bombed an innocent Christian nation into the stone age for 80 days, including Easter Sunday, and all of that for the nominal benefit of a bunch of white trash and narco-terrorists.
