-That's from the highest levels of the Clinton administration. "Despite Tales, the War in Kosovo Was Savage, but Wasn't Genocide," was the headline of the lead story in the Wall Street Journal, analyzing the conflict. The Journal's analysis concludes that "NATO stepped up its claims about Serb ‘killing fields’" when it "saw a fatigued press corps drifting toward the contrarian story: civilians killed by NATO’s bombs." About 2,000 people on both sides were killed prior to the bombing. While at the same time, the Clinton administration's "political and military support were fundamental to the Indonesian occupation", of East Timor, where close to 200,000 Timorese were killed by General Suharto's forces. U.S. intelligence agencies had been warning the Clinton administration for months that Slobodan Milošević would react to the bombing by generating "a virtual explosion of refugees". Italian Prime Minister Massimo D’Alema issued the same warning to President Clinton, to which National Security Adviser Sandy Berger replied, then "NATO will keep bombing". As predicted, once NATO began bombing, Serb atrocities vastly intensified and hundreds of thousands of Kosovo Albanians were expelled from Kosovo. U.S.-NATO Commanding General Wesley Clark told Newsweek that the rise in Serb atrocities was "entirely predictable": General Clark would later admit that: Indeed it wasn't.

General Wesley Clark was (and is) a lunatic despite his rank and accomplishments. He would not be a credible source on anything. And he is from my state.
