1. Why would there be mass graves in Serbia?

They weren't murdering their own people. Try Bosnia and Kosovo.

Didn't the market crash after Bush started talking it down? It was anticipating a Bush victory.

[Endangered Specie]

2. Debunking:

No mass graves found in Serbia - GOOD --- There ARE mass graves in Kosovo... And we didnt lose 900 troops, or get involved in full scale imperialism in the process.


Clinton spends 77 billion on war in Serbia - GOOD
Bush spends 87 billion in Iraq - BAD --- Its actually on the order of 100billions, the 87bill was an extension to the other godknowshowmuch.

Milosevic not convicted yet - GOOD
Saddam in custody - BAD -- and not convicted yet either, not to mention, WRONG COURT!


Clinton commits felonies while in office - GOOD -- Last I recall he was acquitted?
Bush lands on aircraft carrier in jumpsuit - BAD -- His lies have gotten 15,000 people killed.

Clinton bombs Chinese embassy - GOOD -- That was a screw-up by the pilot
Bush bombs terrorist camps - BAD -- And wedding ceremonies, cluster bombs.

Bush liberates 25 million from a genocidal dictator - BAD -- Only to be replaced by another in 5 years tops. (Himself, perhaps)

4. Bullshit, but the anti-Yugo war was indeed also wrong.

Yugoslavia was a victim of US aggression. There was no UN mandate and it's true that much of the progressive movement supported this hailstorm of bombs rained down on the people of Yugoslavis.

[Ganja Ninja]

5. They never rest do they.

Always fast and loose with the facts too.

"Clinton spends 77 billion on war in Serbia - GOOD
Bush spends 87 billion in Iraq - BAD"

We've spent the 87 billion + 50 billion more and that's not counting the military spending if I'm not mistaken.

[KayLaw]
