6/26/20 Jim Bovard on American Atrocities in Kosovo and Korea - a podcast by Scott Horton

Jim Bovard exposes the false claim that Bill Clinton presided over a peaceful administration, pointing out the horrible atrocities of the “humanitarian” intervention in Kosovo. Clinton launched this intervention, says Bovard, as a distraction from his personal scandals, under the dubious guise of saving the ethnic minority Albanians from genocide at the hands of the Serbians. Of course, as with many of America’s wars, this one turned out to be based on lies; ultimately hundreds, if not thousands, of civilians were killed because of U.S. intervention. Scott and Bovard also discuss the U.S. military’s war crimes during the Korean War.



Discussed on the show:



“Kosovo Indictment Proves Bill Clinton’s Serbian War Atrocities” (The Libertarian Institute)

Hillary’s Choice



“The Korean War Atrocities No One Wants to Talk About” (The American Conservative)

Pentagon Papers

Jim Bovard 1:24

Well, that's true. I mean, that's the fairy tale. I mean, it's it's sort of like the fairy tale that there was not any corruption scandals under the during the Obama administration. And the George W. Bush was more honest than he seemed at the time.

Right on Okay, so I do remember 1999 Actually, I was just pretending. And so what happened was, is he was impeached but not removed. And then he celebrated by starting the war. Pretty much. Oh, and in fact, I guess we know right from Gail, she's book that Hillary essentially wouldn't talk to him unless he would bomb Serbia. And that was how they put their marriage back together after the Lewinsky scandal was based on spilling this blood. And so yeah, fancy that. Who?
