In the article "The Current Bombings:Behind the Rhetoric" by Noam Chomsky,
which is on the ZNet KOSOVO/NATO page, Chomsky quotes Gen. Wesley Clarke as
saying that "Commanding General Wesley Clark declared that it was
"entirely predictable" that Serbian terror and violence would intensify
after the NATO bombing..."
Can anyone please tell me what is the exact source of this quote. I
would like to read General Clark's comments for myself in the source
document, be it the New York Times or a NATO press release whatever.
Actually any quotes from NATO or US Foreign Policy sources which
demonstrate a prior knowledge that withdrawal of OSCE-KVM and/or NATO/US
bombing would worsen the humanitarian situation in the FRY would be well
received. In the meantime, one good quote deserves another, so here's a
couple for you from Henry Kissinger:
"Rambouillet was not a negotiation-as is often
claimed-but an ultimatum."
"A strategy that vindicates its moral convictions only
from altitudes above 15,000 feet-and in the process
devastates Serbia and makes Kosovo unlivable-has
already produced more refugees and casualties than any
conceivable alternative mix of force and diplomacy
would have. It deserves to be questioned on both
political and moral grounds."
