Hey George,

What do you make of the Russians? I saw an AP photo
of them blocking the road to Pristina Airport. They
stopped a bunch of Brits from taking the airport.
You have got to wonder what they have planned next.
I see paratroopers landing tomorrow just like they
did in Afghanistan on Christmas Day, 1979. Maby they
are itching for another fight with some Muslims. It
was quite a number they did on the Chechnyans. Did
you ever see any of the video of those MIG-29s screaming
right down Main Street, Grozny, and pummeling the
parliment building with rockets? I'd actually like to
see those Russian gunships start raking the KLA with
50 cal and rockets. That would screw em pretty good.

-John

I don't think the FBI has to fabricate any evidence, not to say they would because they won't. There is ample evidence inside Kosovo, as well as the previous Balkans conflicts. I think what will emerge is the mass slaughter of tens of thousands of non-combatant Kosovar men, the mass rape of thousands of women, mass burning of villages, etc. The UN special prosecutor is only getting started, and I'm sure a lot more is to follow.

I might add also that after the Bosnian and Croatian conflicts, there were war criminals indicted and convicted from all sides of the conflict, and I'm certain there are some KLA war criminals as well. War crimes know no ethnic limits or geographical boundaries.

The difference I see between the KLA and Slobo is that Slobo committed war crimes on a planned mass organized scale not seen in Europe since the Nazis and Stalin. Elements of the KLA definitely have terrorist criminal qualities, but not on Slobo's scale.
