17 years since NATO bombed Belgrade hospital

@ Bob
Your comment is pitiful and diminishes the loss of life. Sweden lodged a formal complaint because of NATO's actions.

"NATO confirmed that one of eight laser-guided bombs intended for a military barracks in the predawn attack overshot its target by 500 yards. NATO spokesman Jamie Shea said "one of the bombs was misdirected for technical reasons," but he declined to give further details or acknowledge that a hospital had been hit.
A hospital and the residences of the Swedish, Spanish and Norwegian ambassadors and the Libyan Embassy were damaged. Another attack late tonight reportedly damaged the Swiss ambassador’s home. The early morning attack drew an angry response from Swedish Foreign Minister Anna Lindh, who said it was "unacceptable" that NATO continues to drop powerful bombs in the center of Belgrade. The Swedish government filed a formal protest with NATO."

There were military people in the hospital and they had magical weapons that was shooting at Martians on Mars and Venus people on Venus.

NATO had no choice but to bomb the hospital.

They didn't really mean to do it.

So they used the magic words of collaterol damage.

Once you say those words every thing is OK. No one really questions it very much, because why would you bomb a hospital unless someone was shooting at Martians?

So it's OK and Serbs should just forget it and join NATO.

Belgrade back then, Kunduz not so long ago. It's a NATO tradition. Who's hospital is next???

Bob's comment suggesting Serbs bombed themselves is as stupid as suggesting Catholic nuns high jacked Egypt Air.

Every Serbian must go deep within their heart, it is not only about us as one individual, it is about us all because we are all the children of Serbia! For the last one hundred some years approximately two million innocent Serbian citizens were tortured, raped, robbed of all earthly possessions and then murdered savagely by the enemies of the Eastern Orthodox Christian faith! Every innocent Serbian who's tears and blood spilled by our mortal enemies is our personal tragedy that we must remember and never forget!!!

It was a very humanitarian bombing. American bombing is always merciful, humanitarian and politically correct.

Be it Belgrade hospital, Dresden or Hiroshima.

What you want from a former colony of criminals who did not wanted pay taxes?

The Constitution, by the way, was written by rich men for rich men.
It is now merely interpreted the way to be more popular.

The only difference between Russia and America is that later has smarter people in the P.R. department.

I firmly believe, on longer term Russia has better chances. We do not want to know, what the future brings.

They kicked your asses soundly Pocaqia, there hasn't been a single war you've ever won against Serbs. Remember cowards, we will always kick your asses soundly. In this life and in the other one.

Wonder if Serbs were bombing themselves?

Yes,Bob!.With British and USA flag's on their Jet bombers .
P's what a knucklehead!!.

best days of my life. See how the Bosnians felt, kosovar's felt etc. they should have done much more Long live NATO

"NATO did not bomb the hospital by choice"

###

Of course they did not bomb it by choice.

That would be a war crime.

Same with the Chinese consulate

Same with the apartment complex in Aleksinovac

Same with all the economic infrastructure, etc.

They did it accidentally. They didn't mean to do it. It was a mistake. They were really sorry about it. They even apologized.

It's exactly as you say it is because you are a great authority on the subject.

icj1 = GAOB (great authority on bombings).

No matter how many times you write what you do, you convince no one.

it's as if you never wrote it.

There is no wasting of energy. To Serbs, it is as if NATO does not exist.

NATO is the one expending all the energy trying to convince them to join (while you try to convince them they didn't deliberately terrorize civilians).

NATO had no choice but to bomb the hospital.

Exactly, you finally got it. That's the same conclusion that UN reached.

No, saying those words is not sufficient (you can give it a try and test your theory if you want, but you'd most likely end up in jail). It is the actions and/or circumstances that matter, not just the words.

Indeed, according to the UN, although some mistakes were made by NATO, there was no deliberate targeting of civilians or unlawful military targets by NATO during the campaign.
----------

So it's OK and Serbs should just forget it and join NATO.
(factman, 20 May 2016 22:11)

That's up to the Serbs to decide if they want to spend their energy on the past or the present and future. If, for example, they wish to declare war on Italy because Romans occupied the cradle of Serbdom about 2000 years ago, by all means feel free to do so lol

If Serbia joins the EU they are foolish. If Serbia joins NATO...they are FINISHED.

It's exactly as you say it is because you are a great authority on the subject.

icj1 = GAOB (great authority on bombings).
(obvious, 22 May 2016 21:45)

It is because the UN said so. But, I'm open to other sources of information that are as reliable as the UN. Do you have any (except, of course, for "facts" that are true just because you say so)?
--------

No matter how many times you write what you do, you convince no one.
it's as if you never wrote it.
(obvious, 22 May 2016 21:45)

So you are commenting on something that was never written?! Are you hallucinating mate :)
----------

There is no wasting of energy. To Serbs, it is as if NATO does not exist.
(obvious, 22 May 2016 21:45)

So, like you, Serbs are hallucinating too since they write stories about things that do not exist lol
----------

NATO is the one expending all the energy trying to convince them to join
(obvious, 22 May 2016 21:45)

I'm not aware that NATO is doing that... it appears it's more like Serbs are expending all the energy trying to convince themselves that NATO is trying hard to convince them to join. That usually happens because of the megalomaniac tendencies that Serbs have :)
----------

while you try to convince them they didn't deliberately terrorize civilians.
(obvious, 22 May 2016 21:45)

Not me, the UN. If you have any new "facts", feel free to forward them to the UN. I'm sure they will be impressed by your ability to support your "facts".

Let us assume you are correct.

The UN (who speaks through the UN Security Council) does not recognize Kosovo as a country and therefore it is not a country. Is it correct?

If it is not correct, then what you write below is rubbish mate :) lol

A lot of that kind of rubbish coming from you :) lol

Again, it seems we have a English comprehension problem. To you, the word "recognize" means the act of recognizing a country into existence --- which is defined as the other countries take to bring something into the family of nations.

Yes, this is one way to look at it. But clearly this was not the intent of the writing.

If your English were better you would understand that "to recognize" as used below has a different connotation.

For example, when the UNSC "recognizes" a country, they recognize that X country may participate in some sponsored UN activity (not because the UN itself has participated in the act of recognizing it into existence, but rather because other important nations have recognized it as a country). The UNSC then recognizes this activity by other countries.

It would be better if you proposed something original or had some original reply to the article that was written on the site instead of always attempting to tear down what others construct. Its boring to always have to read.

The UN (who speaks through the UN Security Council) does not recognize Kosovo as a country and therefore it is not a country. Is it correct?
(obvious, 24 May 2016 01:49)

Of course it is correct that the UN does not recognize Kosovo, like it does not recognize Serbia and it does not recognize any other state or government in the world. I've written that already :) I'm glad that we agree...

That is because, according to the UN itself, the UN does not have any authority to recognize a state or government.

Now, where your argument becomes laughable is when you conclude that lack of UN recognition means that an entity is not a country! According to your logic, there are no countries in the world at all since the UN has not recognized any of them lol

(obvious, 24 May 2016 16:13)

obvious, there is another guy here who speaks with metaphors and gives the words 100 meanings as he sees fit. Discussing with him is not constructive at all. Don't go down his path please, it is very boring :). In the context of "recognizing a country" the meaning of the word is pretty strict.

Again, it seems we have a English comprehension problem. To you, the word "recognize" means the act of recognizing a country into existence
(obvious, 24 May 2016 16:13)

Not "we" and not "to me". According to a certain "obvious", "the UN does not recognize Kosovo as a country and therefore it is not a country". So it was this certain "obvious" who defined the word "recognize" to mean the act of recognizing a country into existence!
----------

For example, when the UNSC "recognizes" a country, they recognize that X country may participate in some sponsored UN activity
(obvious, 24 May 2016 16:13)

That's called "invitation" in English, not "recognition". In addition, this certain "obvious" said "the UN does not recognize Kosovo as a country and therefore it is not a country". He/she did not say "the UN does not recognize Kosovo as a country and therefore it can't attend a UN sponsored activity"!

I'm assuming you are a different "obvious" because I don't want you to appear like a psycho who can't read his/her own writings :)
