#1 In the big picture, we should have been bombing Kandahar at the time. To me, the Sbrenica killings are one big yawner.

#2 WTF? This was a targeted strike. NATO had knocked out all the Serbian transmitters in Belgrade, thus cutting off the high command from its troops in the field. The Chinese helpfully volunteered the use of their transmitter on embassy grounds (an act which voided their non-belligerent status) and dared Uncle Sam to do something about it. Uncle Sam did something, and took out the transmitter. Stratfor had the story back after it happened, back when they were still free, and it had the advantage of making a hell of a lot of sense.

#3 Gromky, if that story were true, then the USA would have announced it. Instead, the USA said that the targeting was a mistake.

#7 So what you're saying, grom, is that:

Clinton lied. Antennas died!
