While Democrats (Liberals) are blaming President Bush for Iraq, let's not forget some of what happened because of DEMOCRAT President Bill Clinton's attacks on other countries...
(CNN) -- "As many as 75 people were killed and 25 were injured when NATO missiles hit two convoys of ethnic Albanians leaving western Kosovo on Wednesday, Serb authorities said."
(CNN) -- "The NATO pilot who bombed a rail bridge in southern Serbia was unable to see a passenger train on the bridge until the instant before his missile struck, NATO's top general said Tuesday."
(BBC) -- "Russia and China lodged protests after Nato's raid on a railway bridge hit a passenger train, killing 10 and leaving 16 injured."
(BBC) -- "After days of speculation, Nato leaders said the alliance was responsible for two attacks on Kosovo convoys, both of which might have included refugees fleeing western Kosovo ... Serb media said the attack left 70 dead."
(BBC) -- "Serbian officials reported that Nato killed at least 16 civilians after two missiles hit a residential area in the southern town of Surdulica. The alliance said that it had struck an army barracks - but did not rule out civilian deaths."
(BBC) -- "Nato admitted that one of its missiles hit the Bulgarian capital Sofia after being fired in self-defence against a surface-to-air missile attack in Yugoslavia, 30 miles away."
(BBC) -- "At least 23 people died when a Nato missile aimed at the Luzane bridge north of Pristina hit a passenger bus. News reports on Serb television showed that one part of the vehicle had plunged off the bridge while the rest had burned for more than an hour."
(BBC) -- "Nato admitted that a cluster bomb aimed at an airfield in the Yugoslav city of Nis hit a hospital and a market, killing 15 civilians. Local officials said that a further 60 people were injured in the daylight attack which left unexploded cluster bombs lying in gardens."
(BBC) -- "Serb TV reported at least five dead and at least another 30 injured when the three missiles fell 600m short of their target. The missiles struck apartments, an 'emergency centre' and a medical dispensary, TV reports said."
(BBC) -- "At least 100 civilians died after Nato bombed what it said were 'legitimate military targets' in the village of Korisa, southern Kosovo. Footage broadcast by Serbian TV showed charred remains, including at least two children, smouldering homes and burning tractors."
(BBC) -- "Serb officials say that a Nato bombing attack led to the deaths of at least three patients in a Belgrade hospital.Parts of the Dragisa Misovic hospital, near a barracks in the Dedinje district, were reduced to rubble. State television reported that emergency services evacuated infants and pregnant women."
(BBC) -- "At least 11 civilians were reported killed and a further 40 injured when Nato bombers mounted a daylight raid on a bridge in Varvarin, south-central Serbia."
(BBC) -- "Yugoslavia reported that at least 20 people lost their lives when Nato bombs hit a sanotorium and neighbouring old people's home in Surdulica, south-east Serbia - the second loss of civilian life in the town since bombing began."
(BBC) -- "In the third Nato blunder in 26 hours, alliance missiles hit an apartment block in Novi Pazar, south-west Serbia, killing at least 11 people and injuring a further 23 residents. Tanjug said that 20 missiles fell on various targets in Novi Pazar with the apartment taking a direct hit. More bodies were believed buried in the rubble."
(WSJ) -- "Clinton dropped bombs on Afghanistan and an aspirin factory in Sudan in 1998 in an unsuccessful attempt to deter Osama bin Laden."
And less we for forget...
(BBC) -- "In the biggest mistake of the campaign to date, Washington admitted that an out-of-date map used by its intelligence operations had led Nato to launch missiles at the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, killing three people, injuring a further 20. Nato said that the intended target had been the Yugoslav Federal directorate of Supply and Procurement 200 yards away."
(What in the world was Clinton thinking? Not only does he bomb the Chinese embassy, but the target Clinton was aiming at was only 200 yards from the embassy. What in the world could Clinton have been thinking to target a building only 200 yards for the embassy? No one in their right mind would so somethinga as illogical and stupid as that, right?)
(BBC) -- "In its defence, the alliance has called on the world's media to put its bombing campaign in perspective, arguing that fewer civilians have been killed or injured in the Kosovo campaign than in any other comparable conflict."
Comments from one web site:
"Bosnia has become Jihad-Central, courtesy of Bill Clinton who made it safe for terrorists by his disastrous war on the Serbs. It is hardly ever mentioned that all those mass graves which were the pretext for the illegal bombing of civilian targets in that war were never found."
"The media and democrats did not demand to know where they were -- nor was Bill Clinton accused of lying to get us into that war which was NOT sanctioned by the U.N. Civilian targets were the rule of the day in that war, resulting in every single bridge over the Danube being destroyed, an action which blocked vital shipping lanes for countries which relied on that river to ship most of their goods -- and let's not forget the ecological disaster wreaked by the bombing."
"In addition to the bridges, the bombing targets included a fully loaded civilian train which resulted in hundreds of casualties, and the 'accidental' bombing of the Chinese Embassy due to an 'outdated map'."
"The result has been a safe haven for Muslim terrorists on European soil, and the destruction and burning of hundreds of Christian churches by Muslim mobs while U.N. forces stood idly by and watched."
