Under the headline "Clinton to Order 90,000 Troops to Kosovo," the Times reported, "[T]here is a growing feeling in Washington and London that the alliance must prepare itself for a much bigger operation, involving 150,000-160,000 troops." "This is the real story behind the so-called `war crimes' indictments against Yugoslav President Milosevic," said Sara Flounders of the Emergency Mobilization to Stop the War. "The charges are to justify a massive bombing campaign. The Hague indictment is the newest tactic to justify a ground war. All of it is intended to break up Yugoslavia for takeover by Wall Street. "The war planners didn't count on the fierce determination of the Yugoslav people to resist NATO occupation troops," Flounders said. "After 65 days of bombing, with their plans frustrated, the architects of this war are desperate. They are driven to take actions which can't help but fuel the growing anti-war sentiment now leading to the June 5 National March on the Pentagon. "NATO's massive, unrestricted bombardment of major cities, the destruction of water and electricity for the whole population, the bombing of chemical plants, the use of radioactive depleted uranium weapons - all of these are war crimes, specifically prohibited by International Law. The International War Crimes Tribunal at the Hague is a creation by the Western powers. It is not part of the World Court or in the UN Charter. The NATO war makers act as investigator, prosecutor, judge, jury and executioner. "The real story is that, once again, the U.S. will be sending poor people to kill and be killed for corporate profits. The only thing that can stop them is a peoples' anti-war movement here and in all NATO countries, in solidarity with the people of Yugoslavia, that demands an immediate end to the bombing, and money for jobs, education and healthcare - not war."
