In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders overpacks Philadelphia Arena as Pennsylvania poll shows him surging. [View all]tabasco
(22,974 posts)95. Are you unable to distinguish between NATO and the U.S.?
You seem to be incapable of understanding the difference between NATO and the United States. Please educate yourself.
Here's what the United Nations had to say about the NATO bombing of the station:
A report conducted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) entitled "Final Report to the Prosecutor by the Committee Established to Review the NATO Bombing Campaign Against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia" said:
Insofar as the attack actually was aimed at disrupting the communications network, it was legally acceptable ... NATOs targeting of the RTS building for propaganda purposes was an incidental (albeit complementary) aim of its primary goal of disabling the Serbian military command and control system and to destroy the nerve system and apparatus that keeps Miloević in power[14]
In regards to civilian casualties, it further stated that though they were, "unfortunately high, they do not appear to be clearly disproportionate."

Here's what the European Court of Human Rights had to say:In the case Markovic v. Italy, the European Court of Human Rights found that the government of Italy had not violated human rights. However, in 2002, Dragoljub Milanović, the general manager of RTS, was sentenced to 10 years in prison because he had not ordered the workers in the building to evacuate, despite knowing that the building could be bombed.

Yep. That was a big audience to hear his lie-tastic "Hillary is unqualified" blunder.

Sure the polls have been tightening, but Sanders's lying attack will not help his poll numbers.

Those were our bombs. And they did not stop ethnic cleansing, they hastened it.

The Kosovo intervention was a NATO operation, fully supported by all of our allies.

Clinton said Iraq was a mistake. Bernie didn't say bombing Belgrade was a mistake.

The air support provided to the NATO Kosovo mission was necessary and justified.

The building was a TV station, not a command post. No explicit warning was given.

It was our planes, our bombs. Acting under the fig leaf of NATO does not mean it was peachy keen.

Actually, I think Hillary started this controversy about the qualifications.

No she didn't. Sanders lied in asserting Clinton said he was "quote unquote unqualified."

In the beginning, I'd admit to loving Bernie's character, his message, his persistence
