The latest from Stratfor is a MUST read!

stratfor.com

What can I say, I am shocked!<g>

Some excerpts:

"However, our own research and survey of officials indicates that the numbers of dead so far are in the hundreds, not the thousands" ...."Given progress to date, it seems difficult to believe that the 10,000 claimed at the end of the war will be found. The killing of ethnic Albanian civilians appears to be orders of magnitude below the claims of NATO, alliance governments and early media reports."

[Holy cow, we are down to hundreds now...Milo should be indicted for failing to conduct a real genocide!]

"It appears that both governments and outside observers relied on sources controlled by the KLA, both before and during the war" ..."The sophisticated public relations machine of the KLA and the fog of war
may have generated a perception that is now proving dubious."

[mafiocracy anyone?]

"There are many consequences if it turns out that NATO's claims about Serb atrocities were substantially false."

[But nothing will bring back the suffering casued by the bombing, all the dead, the maimed, and the incomprehensible destruction of infrastructure which is causing so much suffering to ordinary people...but I guess Clinton and Allbright may broadcast another message to the Serb people telling them "we have nothing against you"]
