PRESIDENT CLINTON CHARGED WITH WAR CRIMES July 12, 1999 In a WorldNetDaily exclusive, it has been reported that a Connecticut-based International Ethical Alliance is filing charges with the Hague-based International Criminal Tribunal today levying charges of war crimes against President Bill Clinton and Defense Secretary William Cohen for their part in initiating the NATO military action against Yugoslavia. Once the charges are filed, prosecutors are obliged to investigate. You can read the entire report on the World Net Daily web page at http://www.worldnetdaily.com.

He should, or Milo shouldn't..bottom line.

Now we have the FBI(as reported in 60 Minutes II) in Kosovo digging up all the dead, including women and children. Theese dead were apparently killed by Milo's troops, and I can't dispute that one way or another. Evidence collected from theese exhumed bodies will be used in the trial against Milo and his admin.

My point is this. It was a FREAKIN' WAR!!! What if NATO or the UN or WHOEVER, went into Korea or Vietnam after our involment in those WARS? How many dead babies or women would they find???. I guess those in power in the US should be found and proscecuted for war crimes also. Don't get me wrong, I'm not badmouthing our Vet's(I am one).

It's just a crock to be punishing a leader of their own country for acts done(albeit terrible)during a war. Hypocracy sucks!!

Cygnus, I must disagree...

WAR = KILLING (primarily) COMBATENTS

WAR CRIME = KILLING (primarily) INNOCENT PEOPLE

(i.e. Hitler & Stalin)

True Dennis, but we don't know yet. How many civies were killed, and how many KLA people were killed. They/we should wait before making determination's. In every war you will have a certain percentage of "collateral damage", let's get all the facts about what that percentage is in Kosovo, BEFORE we go around handing out label's of "war criminal" or "worse since Hitler". I'm NOT defending or justifying Milo, but Justice has certain avenues it MUST take, to still be called Justice. That's basically what I meant.

War is Hell!

We had absolutely no business whatsoever meddling in the affairs of a sovereign European nation, plus we killed a lot of Albanian refugees on several occasions. The whole operation was nothing to be proud of. It was basically a liberal's war for egalitarian reasons. Pretty sickening.
