NATO UNLOADING SMART BOMBS BECAUSE THEY AREN'T Y2K READY. A high-ranking NATO military source revealed that the actual reason bombing has intensified in Yugoslavia is due to the fact that the computers inside the "smart bombs" are not Y2K compliant. "We're bombing away as fast as we can before there is a peace settlement to get rid of billions of dollars of missiles that will be worthless come January 1st," the source claimed. A Pentagon spokesman denied that the Y2K issue was a factor in the decision to escalate bombing. "That's utter poppycock. We can always reset the on-board missile computers to 1972 as a quick fix since the days of the week align with those of 2000," he said. However, a CIA spy who subsequently denied his own existence, admitted that experimenting with this "quick fix" resulted in the destruction of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade. "In 1972 that building was the Yugoslavian Communist office of propaganda for the advancement of the Yugo automobile," the spy said.
