It started out as an "estimate" by the UK Foreign Office, and got ingrained in the minds of the public through endless repetition.<BR/>In all likelihood, Blair's spin doctor Alistair Campbell simply shaved off a zero from the ludicrous "estimate" of 100,000 bandied about during the aggression.<BR/><BR/>Now here's the catch. Serbian authorities' comprehensive death toll, involving both Serb and Albanian civilians, government troops and KLA terrorists, as well as the people still listed as "missing" is just over 9,000. Yet the NATO propagandists have been talking not about 10,000 <I>people</I> killed, but <I> Albanian civilians</I>, which is obviously false.CubuCokohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14128683147101484237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9230592.post-45511988221109578962007-06-17T09:39:00.000-04:002007-06-17T09:39:00.000-04:00Time and again recently, after Bush's Albanian ind...Time and again recently, after Bush's Albanian independence speech, I've been catching in the press the number 10,000 for how many people were killed by the Serbs and the reason for Nato involvement. Seeing as around 2,500 were said to have been found in those "mass" graves, even when we were being told there could be 100,000 during the height of the hysteria, just how did they arrive at this 10K figure? I suspect its just laziness, and collusion as usual, but I'd like your take.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9230592.post-16817255733670288702007-06-16T23:28:00.000-04:002007-06-16T23:28:00.000-04:00Thanks for publicizing this.Submitted to Digg:http...Thanks for publicizing this.<BR/><BR/>Submitted to Digg:<BR/><BR/>http://digg.com/political_opinion/The_appalling_hypocrisy_of_Kurt_Waldheim1389https://www.blogger.com/profile/04335705483244616965noreply@blogger.com
