DUE O TRE ZERI DI TROPPO?
TANTO CHI VUOI CHE SI SCANDALIZZI, DOPO...
Con insano godimento, giornalisti, politici e militari dei paesi NATO
durante i bombardamenti della primavera 1999 hanno scatenato le loro
piu' turpi fantasie criminologiche per gonfiare l'entita' dei presunti
crimini di parte jugoslava.
Ma adesso che piu' di un anno e' passato, la NATO ammette ufficialmente
che il numero delle vittime della "repressione di Milosevic" in Kosmet
non e' 100mila, come raccontato all'epoca dai funzionari statunitensi,
ne' dell'ordine delle decine di migliaia, come fatto credere dai nostri
scribacchini, bensi' "tra due e tremila", delle quali peraltro non si sa
chi sarebbe stato ucciso da chi, chi e' slavo e chi albanese, ne' come
sarebbe stato ucciso (scontri tra esercito ed UCK? Liquidazioni
sommarie? Morte naturale?).
Anziche' mostrarsi imbarazzati per l'uso sfacciato della menzogna come
arma di guerra, i portavoce della NATO sono soddisfatti e con la solita
faccia tosta esclamano: "E' anche questa una nostra vittoria, perche'
vuol dire che siamo entrati in Kosovo presto, impedendo ai sub-umani
serbi di compiere altri massacri!"
