How about "a number that is larger than the number of civilians killed by
NATO's humanitarian jet jockeys, under the pretense of preventing this
killing"?

Bullshit.
NATO destroyed a country's infrastructure, killed around 2,000 civilians and caused enormous environmental and economic damage. This was and is justified on the grounds that it "stopped" something worse. Now they tell us that, well, we can't find evidence that that something was, in fact, worse than the catastrophe caused by NATO. But that's OK, you see, those Serbs are devious bastards; they must have hid the bodies real well. So they are still guilty of genocide, and deserve every cruise missile they got.
