Clinton Lied, People Died?

Here’s an interesting report on the failure to uncover mass graves in Kosovo, the war which, you’ll recall, was justified on the grounds of Serbian ethnic cleansing and impending genocide. According to the report:

In alleged ethnic cleansing exercises by Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic, as many as 100,000 to 200,000 civilians were said to have gone missing or been killed in Kosovo, many of them buried in mass graves. Members of a Canadian forensic team to the Serbian province have come forward to label the numbers nonsense. No mass graves, they say, and, on both the Albanian and Serb sides, only a few thousand dead. A mockery of the numbers used to justify the war.



And this is an interesting tidbit for those who think having a Democrat in office who can Bring Our Allies on Board will reduce the chances of war:

Looking back a couple of years after the conflict, [Canadian] defence minister Art Eggleton acknowledged that the propaganda coming out of the Pentagon was extraordinary. But the Chrétien Liberals, on close terms with the Clinton Democrats, weren’t about to buck the White House on Kosovo, as they would on Iraq. The allies were all on board for an attack, making it extremely unlikely that Canada would be the odd one out.
