> By my count the Serbs have already executed in excess of 1,000 Croat, Bosnian Muslim, and Kosovar civilians for every man woman and child killed at
Your count is WAAAAAAAAAY off....I am not surprised since you obviously committed too much mental masturbation over those bombs and Tomahawk missiles. Why? Because you believe crap like the discredited stuff below which only people with limited brain power would accept as the truth...
D. Long & Yaacov may get a choochoobee because we agree to disagree, you and Barry (where is he anyway, I missed him<g>) will never get one!
Number of missing Kosovars is challenged By Charles A. Radin, Globe Staff and
Louise D. Palmer Globe Correspondent, 04/21/99 ASHINGTON - ...The US State Department said Monday that a half million ethnic Albanian men are
unaccounted for in the disputed province, which is part of Serb-dominated
Yugoslavia but 90 percent Albanian, and a department spokesman hinted that
100,000 may have met with foul play [you know most people here in the US may see the news from CNN or the 7pm news on ABC..and these kind of statements, dramatic as they sound, stick with them...you know like they stick with Robert Barry] . The statements have stoked public outrage [yours and Barry's <g>,
but they are based on NO PUBLICLY AVAILABLE DOCUMENTS OR PARAGRAPHS. '' [who needs these, nato says it is so...if you do not believe you must be an evil Serb sympathizer] In all these
cases, the first numbers we hear are OVERESTIMATES,'' said Farouk El-Baz, a pioneer
in photography from space who directs Boston University's Center for Remote
Sensing. '
This week, they said, these forces had dug mass graves pointing in the
direction of Mecca, using a satellite photo to underscore their point. ''Long neat
rows of individual graves, 150 very neatly dug graves - these are not mass graves,''
said MIT political science professor Barry Posen, a specialist in the history of
warfare. ''It's weird to think they would have a mass murder, recruit grave diggers,
and properly orient the graves toward Mecca so as to give them some semblance
of a proper Muslim burial.''[ I hear nato discovered a grand total of 43 of these mass graves with repeated sattelite pics of the above neatly dug graves pic shown over and over...Incredible that people can be so stupid to believe this crap!] Posen said hunger for news has led to nearly
unquestioning acceptance of official statements and superficial appearances by the
Western media, allowing the politicians and generals leading the air campaign to use
the refugees to justify the bombing. ''Because the press has not gone back to
investigate and dispel 'facts' that were staked out at the beginning that said there
were already hundreds of thousands of refugees,'' Posen said, ''NATO is able to
absolve itself and make great use of very tragic pictures of people in very tragic
circumstances to say, 'See, this is why we fought the war, to reverse this.'''
... But, said Robert
Hayden, director of the University of Pittsburgh's Center for Russian and East
European Studies, the State Department reports of 100,000 to 500,000
unaccounted-for Albanian men ''are ludicrous - the story is just ludicrous. ''NATO
is running a propaganda campaign, there's no question about that,'' Hayden said.
''There have been lots of discrepancies in the official story, but what is interesting is
that, until now, there has been amazingly little scrutiny of that story.'' However,
there are other explanations other than propaganda campaigning for NATO and the
United States to hold back on high-altitude or space photos that could document
the location of dead and missing Kosovars. ''When you show a picture, any good
expert will know that this photo must have been taken by a certain type of platform,
and that the camera characteristics are 1, 2, 3, 4,'' El-Baz said. ''Governments do
not want to tell the general public what the detailed capabilities of the sensing
equipment are. And if you show the photo, an expert can make something like it, or
try to evade it.'' |
