-No. 800,000 Kosovars were expelled *after* Belgrade was bombed. There was a -sequence of historical events, Nathan. One thing came before the other.
First, hundreds of thousands were already driven out before the day the intervention-- that had been going on throughout the year before intervention started. Second, the additional mass expulsions started as soon as bombing in KOSOVO started; bombing in Belgrade was not immediate.
But rehashing who can bring up the analysts who agree with different versions of the facts is not really useful-- I told you based on what facts lead me to what conclusions. I really don't need to hear more excuses for why what Milosevic was doing wasn't so bad-- i hear it enough from the Israeli apologists.
