Excerpt:

On March 24, 1999, NATO launched an air war against Serbia and Montenegro, then known as the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The publicly stated aim of Operation Allied Force was to compel Belgrade to accept the ultimatum given at the French chateau of Rambouillet the month before: Hand the province of Kosovo over to NATO 'peacekeepers' and allow ethnic Albanian separatists to declare independence.

When the bombers failed to achieve that within a couple of weeks, the narrative changed to NATO acting to stop a 'genocide' of Albanians its cheerleader press claimed was taking place. That narrative also credited the first-ever female US secretary of state for the 'humanitarian' bombing, calling it "Madeleine's War."

In the end, it took 78 days and a negotiated armistice for NATO troops to enter Kosovo wearing the fig leaf of a UN peacekeeping mission. They promptly turned the province over to the 'Kosovo Liberation Army' terrorists, who proceeded to burn, loot, murder and expel over 200,000 non-Albanians. A real campaign of terror, intimidation, ethnic cleansing and pogroms began -- and the very same media that covered for NATO by making up atrocities during the bombing now turned a blind eye, for the same reason.
