How many thousands of murders and rapes, on the hands of Slob and Dog Face, until you feel that they are the problem?>>> If we are going to talk over each other but not to each other what is the point? I asked you how many dead you are willing to accept? You imply yes as many as it takes right? Slob was not even born when albanians were killing serbs and vise versa

Warning to Milosevic....month of bombing that was a joke? Your hate against Slob and his wife made you blind..Don't you see that NATO (helped) destroyed Kosovars, plunged the region into the mess that would haunt it for generations and undermined its own credibility (refusing to risk their own lives/troops)

We basically betrayed Kosovars and they are cooked..Horendous blunder bordering on crime (hindsight or not) Kosovo purge 'stepped up' Refugees in Skopje, Macedonia, where 11,600 more have arrived Serb forces have stepped up their persecution of Kosovo Albanians on a "massive scale", according to accounts from the latest refugees to leave the province. Increasing numbers of abused refugees are arriving, their condition is worse, and the stories of men being taken away and murdered more insistent. Reporting from Kukes in Albania, the BBC's correspondent Fergal Keane says thousands crossed into Albania on Tuesday and more are on their way. Nato says those fleeing to the province's borders have been "ethnically cleansed" from their homes. Our correspondent says it is difficult to believe the kind of terror people at the camp describe. The evidence of physical violence is increasingly a cause for concern. Many refugees report being stopped by Serb police and menaced for money. Those who refuse to pay are shot. One man in the camp said he was shot by Serb police who demanded money from him. He was lucky. Two others in his convoy were shot dead. "I saw them take a young man and throw him in the river. They shot him three times," he said. Moving away from danger On Tuesday, the UN refugee agency running Albanian camps told the BBC it believes that refugees could be in danger from Serb artillery even outside Kosovo's borders. According to a UNHCR spokesman, the agency is seriously considering closing six large camps and moving people south. But at the same time, the Albanians may also have to cope with a further influx of Kosovo refugees who have overwhelmed the authorities in Macedonia. Aid agencies in Macedonia trying to cope with a new influx of Kosovo refugees say they are having to take new measures to deal with security and overcrowding problems. Meanwhile, the UK has agreed to give sanctuary to 1,000 Kosovo Albanian refugees a week. The Home Secretary, Jack Straw, said that within a few weeks a plane-load of displaced Kosovo Albanians could be arriving in the UK every day. Politicians criticised A leading Nato commander has criticised the campaign against Yugoslavia, saying political considerations are making the conflict longer. General Klaus Naumann, the outgoing chairman of Nato's military committee, said the need to maintain unity among the 19 members meant Nato had been unable to use surprise or sufficient force. "This cost time, effort and potentially additional casualties and the net result being that the campaign is undoubtedly prolonged," he said. The criticism came as Nato announced it had carried out its most effective day of strikes against targets in Kosovo. Bus bombing denied On Tuesday, Nato denied that it had bombed a bus carrying civilians in Kosovo on Monday. Serbian sources said 20 people had died and 43 had been injured in the incident. The alliance said although several Nato aircraft had been in the general area, film of the bus indicated that it had not been attacked from the air. The wreckage of the bus contained a number of bullet holes, and a Nato source said there had been skirmishes in the area between the Kosovo Liberation Army and Yugoslav forces. Diplomacy continues Russia's special Balkans envoy, Viktor Chernomyrdin, has continued his efforts to find a diplomatic solution to the conflict during a visit to the US. He held talks with the United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan in New York. Following their meeting, Mr Chernomyrdin said that there would be a Russian element to any international presence in Kosovo, but confirmed that it still has not been decided whether it should be a military presence or not. The UN Secretary General intends to appoint two special envoys of his own who will work closely with Russia in their attempts to search for a solution. The Group of Seven major industrial powers plus Russia - G8 - are due to meet in Bonn on Thursday to discuss solutions to the conflict, the German Foreign Ministry has announced. news.bbc.co.uk
