Where Were the Liberals in Kosovo?

Larry Elder has a dynamite column blowing the lid off the liberal hypocrisy. You see the liberals are against war in a Republican’s in office. When Clinton bombed Kosovo, it was all okay.

Elder, however dug up information showing how the deaths and seriousness of the situation in Kosovo were far from accurate. Elder quotes the Orange County Register:

Months after the bombing has ceased, United Nations and European Union investigations have bolstered what critics had argued: NATO’s estimates of Serbian genocide against the Kosovars were greatly overblown. Many observers now think the inflated numbers simply were part of the U.S.-led propaganda effort to build support for the war.

The latest evidence suggests that fewer than 3,000 Kosovars were murdered – horrifying, yes, but not many more than the number of Serbs who were killed by NATO bombing attacks on Yugoslavia, roughly estimated between 3,000 and 5,000 soldiers and civilians.

Elder concludes:

Does this mean that Clinton “lied, people died”? The intelligence turned out to be wrong, very wrong. Something like this always warrants a serious examination of intelligence failures. But intelligence failures, bad intelligence or failing to properly analyze the intelligence is a far cry from accusing a commander in chief of deliberately and intentionally misleading the American people.

Can we, perhaps, now drop the “Bush lied” nonsense, and pursue the business of winning the war against Islamo-fascism? Perhaps?

No, Larry. People hate this president with a passion. So whatever argument they can find. “Bush Lied,” “The Downing Street Memo,” “The Chickenhawk fallcy.” Its all a pretext for Bush hatred.

Kosovo, Iraq, Larry Elder
