>Early Monday morning, squads of NATO troops seized Northern Mitrovica, the
>only remaining multiethnic part of Kosovo.
>
>Northern Mitrovica, where thousands of Serbs, "Gypsies," Slavic Muslims and
>others driven from the rest of Kosovo lived side by side with local Serbs,
>Albanians and others, was defended by mass, non-violent action from UN police
>abuses and vicious armed assaults by Kosovo 'Liberation Army' forces trying
>to take control.
>
>This popular movement infuriated the NATO humanitarians; hence today's
>invasion by French and British NATO troops.
>
>The excuse: to curb 'violence' (that is, the unarmed, non-violent movement)
>and, of all things, to limit pollution at a smelter. Amazing. The same NATO
>that has dropped thousands of deadly cluster (time) bombs on Kosovo's
>children, the same NATO, which, as Prof. Chossudovsky has proven,
>deliberately created an environmental disaster at Pancevo (1), now is worried
>about...a smelter.
>
>These fabrications insult our intelligence. NATO's real goals: a) to crush
>resistance to KLA fascism, which NATO and the UN have installed elsewhere in
>Kosovo (2) and b) to position NATO troops close to the administrative border
>between Kosovo and inner Serbia, an area that has for months been under
>attack by NATO proxy troops of the KLA variety. (3)
>
>Recently Al Gore announced that Sen. Joseph Lieberman will be his Vice
>Presidential running mate. This is the same Lieberman who said, while
>attending a pro-war rally in Washington last April:
>
>"The "United States of America and the Kosovo Liberation Army stand for the
>same human values and principles...Fighting for the KLA is fighting for human
>rights and American values." ('Washington Post, April 28, 1999)
>Recently, George Bush commented that if elected he will immediately issue an
>arrest warrant for Yugoslav Pres. Milosevic. Amazing isn't it how casually
>these men, even half-wits like little-Bush, how casually these men, no matter
>how limited their abilities, assume Imperial Rights. Thus - poof! - and
>little Bush issues his threat to arrest - arrest? - the President of a
>sovereign country. How does one arrest somebody else's President? No problem,
>didn't big daddy once pulverize a smaller country, Panama, supposedly to
>arrest its President? This is Rome, complete with cruelty and greed. All
>that's missing is brains.
>
>The Lieberman announcement and the threat by Little Bush, as well as and
>today's attack on Mitrovica, make eminently clear that the American
>establishment is not through with Yugoslavia. It wishes to escalate the
>attack. The Serbs, for a century the obstacle to Imperial conquest of the
>strategic Balkans, must be crushed as a politically coherent force.
>
>By sending British and French troops to seize Northern Mitrovica the United
>States has positioned NATO troops close to the administrative border with
>inner Serbia. This would make it easier for NATO troops (after a suitable
>provocation is invented) to attack inner Serbia from the south and,
>simultaneously, to support provocative actions by the weak, gangster-ridden
>quisling regime in Montenegro, where British SAS (Special Forces) are
>currently training whatever rifraff they can scrape together (they call it a
>police force) to be used as provocateurs to a) assassinate Yugoslav officials
>and b) provide some incident9s) to 'justify' NATO intervention.
>
>The line, put forward by NATO, that it is Milosevic who wishes to destabilize
>Montenegro and Mitrovica, etc., etc., is ridiculous on the face. Do they take
>us for fools? Are we to accept a comic book vision of world politics in which
>Milosevic plays "Super Bad Guy" to the US "Super Good Guy," where "Super Bad
>Guy" does absurdly self-destructive things for no reason but irrepressible
>malice.
>
>In reality, it is Yugoslavia (its people AND government) who have suffered
>NATO's cruel and unwarranted assaults. It was Yugoslavia which tried, prior
>to last year's bombing, to work out some kind of peace accord and it was NATO
>which presented Yugoslavia with an agreement (which would have legalizedthe
>occupation of all Yugoslavia by NATO troops!) - a proposal designed precisely
>to ensure Yugoslav rejection. It was only Yugoslavia whose parliament
>actually discussed this (anti-)peace proposal. Not one of the NATO
>democracies voted, by plebiscite or even in parliament, before initiating the
>brutal 78 day bombing of Yugoslav civilians and infrastructure and the
>subsequent invasion and ethnic decimation of Kosovo.

>We are now attempting to get direct information from Mitrovica. We will post
