10th anniversary of the NATO bombing of Serbia

Brian Foley · Mar 22, 2009

As the 10 year anniversary of the NATO bombing of Serbia is upon us this week, it's important to revisit events in light of the present day realities in Kosovo. The following story was issued just the day before the 1999 bombing of Serbia by NATO commenced.

Clinton: Serbs must be stopped now

U.S. on verge of attack; divided Senate to unify on Kosovo mission
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Accusing Serbia of "ethnic cleansing" in Kosovo similar to the genocide of Jews in World War II, an impassioned President Clinton sought Tuesday to rally public support for his decision to send U.S. forces into combat against Yugoslavia, a prospect that seemed increasingly likely with the breakdown of a diplomatic peace effort.

"It's about our values," Clinton said, explaining his position to an organized labor group during a speech at a Washington hotel. "What if someone had listened to Winston Churchill and stood up to Adolph Hitler earlier?" the president asked. "How many people's lives might have been saved? And how many American lives might have been saved?"

Accusing Serb troops of terrorizing and murdering civilians in Kosovo, Clinton said: "We have to take a stand now. If we don't do it now, we will have to do it later."

'Stand up to brutality'

In his remarks to the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Clinton said unless Serb troops were stopped, a bigger offensive could start. "If you don't stand up to brutality and the killing of innocent civilians, you invite them to do more," he said.

And yet, Clinton said, he did not like to use military force.

Is he still looking for the mass graves of Albanians?

Maybe they are under the stadium that had 100,000 prisoners he told us about.
