WE BOMBED THE WRONG SIDE?

Lewis MacKenzie

Five years ago our television screens were dominated by pictures of Kosovo-Albanian refugees escaping across Kosovo's borders to the sanctuaries of Macedonia and Albania. Shrill reports indicated that Slobodan Milosevic's security forces were conducting a campaign of genocide and that at least 100,000 Kosovo-Albanians had been exterminated and buried in mass graves throughout the Serbian province. NATO sprung into action and, in spite of the fact no member nation of the alliance was threatened, commenced bombing not only Kosovo, but the infrastructure and population of Serbia itself -- without the authorizing United Nations resolution so revered by Canadian leadership, past and present.

Those of us who warned that the West was being sucked in on the side of an extremist, militant, Kosovo-Albanian independence movement were dismissed as appeasers. The fact that the lead organization spearheading the fight for independence, the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), was universally designated a terrorist organization and known to be receiving support from Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda was conveniently ignored.

Why is it that soldiers stationed in the region have a better grasp of the situation than the diplomats? (the answer is known)

Unfortunately Lewis MacKenzie opinion is not relevant

Even during the war in Bosnia, Lewis MacKenzie was stating on many occasions that it was the Muslims who were breaking the cease fire agreements and bombing their own civilians to gain NATO support.

NATO promptly replaced him because he wouldnt follow NATO's anti Serb mantra.

Kosovo isn't a secret.
We all know what happened, and that the Muslims were the guilty party.
But unfortunately, Serbia isn't Russia.
