Robert, NATO uncovered another mass grave this morning that held the bodies of 65 million rats. NATO forensic experts are claiming the Serbs killed the rats with nerve gas. The New York chapter of P.E.T.A. issued a statement charging the Serbs with genocide against the common European Black Rat. They are organizing a huge protest march on Washington this Sunday. I'll meet you there.

Here are accounts of atrocitities committed by the Serb soldiers and paramilitaries, to help you speak with intelligence on the subject. Kosovars Return To Find Mass Grave By ELLEN KNICKMEYER Associated Press Writer KORENICA, Yugoslavia (AP) - Ethnic Albanians who fled a slaughter in April returned Tuesday to find mass graves strewn with bones and hair and charred, dismembered corpses lying where they died. In all, villagers said, Serb forces killed 155 unarmed men, women and children in Korenica, 45 miles southwest of Pristina, on April 27-28. The killing started when the sun rose, on what villagers remember as a foggy morning. ''From seven o'clock to 12 o'clock, what they found, they killed,'' said a survivor, Leke Nikmengjaj. The first survivors to venture back to the village started to turn their horse cart into the woods at the sight of a journalist's car parked at the site, fearing it meant Serb forces had not really withdrawn. Crying, they led journalists to three mass graves in a Muslim graveyard that they said contained 60 to 70 victims, and to a burned house where the incinerated, severed trunks and limbs of five men lay on a collapsing top floor. Two graves nearby contained the bodies of another two victims. Villagers said a churchyard in the area held the graves of the Roman Catholic victims of the massacre. Serb forces had been angered by a rebel ambush that killed seven Serbs, villagers said. Three fighters from the village took part in the ambush. Serb police, paramilitaries and soldiers occupied the village a day after the ambush, and started killing the next day, according to Flora Merturi, a village woman who escaped. ''They executed every man over 16 they could find,'' Merturi said. ''Also women and children.'' The Serb forces shot their victims, burned homes and paid Gypsies to bury the dead, separating the corpses into Muslims and Catholics, Merturi said. The burials in the Muslim graves were shallow, leaving a hand and a shirt sleeve sticking out of the earth, the top of a head jutting out, a shoulder blade lying on the ground. In the home nearby, the arms and legs had been cut from the five bodies before they were set on fire. The burned victims were relatives of Daniel Berisha, a 40-year-old driver who once worked for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, Merturi said. Merturi said she fled with Berisha and others into the nearby hills, only to be surrounded and captured by Serbs. Serbs seized Berisha, who was wounded, telling villagers they were taking him to the hospital. ''As soon as we moved away, they killed him,'' she said, beating him to death with gun butts. Italian NATO forces arrived at the Muslim mass graves soon after the villagers. They said they wouldn't exhume the bodies until mine squads could check the site. Ethnic Albanian refugees fleeing into Macedonia and Albania over the past three months have reported numerous massacres. Their reports were impossible to verify until Serb forces began to withdraw Monday. Since then, the reports have poured in: -In the village of Velika Krusa, 40 miles southwest of Pristina, Dutch peacekeepers on Tuesday discovered about 20 charred bodies. -On Monday, British troops in the southern town of Kacanik found mounds of earth with wooden markers which they believe Serb soldiers reburied individually from a mass grave containing 81 bodies to cover up a massacre. -Kacanik residents told peacekeepers of at least two other sites in the area where they said massacre victims were buried. -In a nearby village, British troops found a damp pile of clothes riddled with bullet holes, graves marked with shards of wood and four houses gutted by flames. One villager said 35 people were killed. -A cemetery worker in Djakovica, near Korenica, said he buried up to 200 victims of massacres, from killings that claimed up to 70 victims at a time. -And residents of a village on the northern outskirts of Pristina said they buried 30 residents cut down in various raids by Serb snipers and soldiers.

to: Robert Barry from: truedog Re: math I notice that you only respond to one post from the same person at a time. I have seen you make three responses in a row to the same person. Could it be that you cannot do the math or even remember anything about more than one post at a time. At least, I was responding to three of your posts in one message. Now, you try it. I have no problem with you wanting a cute blonde to sit on your face but, it does raise the question as whether you can get your jollies any other way. I don't know. You are the one who seems to prefer this form of togetherness. I was almost sure you are the one who quoted a figure about the million of Albanians displaced, the number of Serb civilians killed, etc. If I have erred, I apologize. Can you be so fair and reasonable? I'll be waiting to see. I am very familiar with the fact that standard size poodles were bred by the Germans as hunting dogs. How many standard sized ones do you see? I certainly do not detest dogs. I have three of my own whom I care a great deal for. I just can't stand the miniature and toy , yapping hysterically, poodles. Many a parade has been held for people who never fought a single battle. If you want to continue to call this Kosovo thing a war then, you must admit that it was an illegal operation because it was never declared by congress as is specified in the Constitution. Smoke that in your water pipe. Just be sure and not inhale. truedog
