Wrong Priorities
Via Brendan O’Neil.
When NATO – with Clinton and Blair at the helm – bombed the headquarters of RTS (Serbian state television and radio) in central Belgrade on April 23, 1999, it was no joke. It was the real thing. In the middle of the night – at 2:20 a.m. – cruise missiles rained down on RTS headquarters, destroying the entrance and leaving at least one studio in ruins. Over 120 people were working in the building at the time; at least 16 were killed and another 16 were injured – all of them civilians, most of them technicians and support staff. The BBC’s John Simpson described seeing “the body of a make-up artist … lying in a dressing room.”
And the call for impeachment was over lying about a sex act? Guess mass murder just isn’t a “serious” enough offense.
