If you don't think the bombing of Belgrade was not an act of aggression, I don't know what to say to you. We're not speaking the same language.

Every target in Belgrade was a civilian target, except for the Chinese embassy. Cluster bombs are a particularly insidious destructive device, and we used them to bomb a marketplace at its busiest time. We used them in other places where civilians were gathered too.

Cluster bomb units -- CBU-87/B, combined effects munitions, are 1,000-pound deadly munitions that break into 202 bomblets, and each bomblet fractures into 300 fragments of steel. It covers a football field, it can turn an apple orchard into apple sauce -- or people into hamburger. It's used against 'soft targets,' meaning troops and [other] people, though it can go through light armor to a certain point... Unexploded munitions are also a concern
