Remember Kosovo?

By Cliff Kincaid | December 28, 2004

Clinton's policy was not to bomb those terrorists but to support them and bomb the Christian Serbs.

AIM put together a list of the most underreported or buried stories of 2004, and one of them was the resurgence of anti-Serb, anti-Christian violence in Kosovo. Dozens were killed and more Christian churches were destroyed there. Kosovo got some attention near the end of the year when newspapers covered the fact that a former leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army, the KLA, became prime minister in a new Kosovo-based government. A story in the Washington Post, back on page 18, noted that he has been accused of "war atrocities" and may be indicted. Here's the rest of the story.

Clinton's 1999 NATO war in Kosovo was illegal under U.S. and international law. The U.S. Congress never voted for it and the U.N. never endorsed it. There was no claim that Yugoslavia had weapons of mass destruction or had ties to terrorist groups. Instead, Clinton had the U.S. intervene on behalf of the terrorists, operating in Kosovo under the banner of the KLA. They had links to Osama bin Laden. In fact, it is reported that the KLA's head of elite forces, Muhammed al-Zawahiri, was the brother of Ayman al-Zawahiri, the military commander for bin Laden's Al Qaeda. After the war, the KLA was transformed into the police force for Kosovo.

Destro, your entire diatribe you spill is laughable. You lack a clue to what has happened in Kosovo and Bosnia. It is not what you think it is.

FYI- most everyone on here was fooled by Nennsy, a fraud.

[Destro]

You are still not banned yet? I don't buy your mafia is behind it all theory - the drug trade is behind it all theory of yours - or whatever theory it is you push when you are not riding your bike.

[ma bell]

go on with your conspiracy theory. Hoplite is much much more accurate then you are with his analysis and facts. You are far off base. Did you know Long-Distance Callers make Long-Distance Calls, or is that a conspiracy as well?

You are clue less as things are not what they seem to be, bruder.

[ma bell]

You ever been to either region and see with your own eyes and ears and such? I don't think you were so you can shut your suck about "facts".

[Destro]

The answer is yes I have been to the region - not recently though. Hoplite will be pleased you agree Lastly, you don't really know my position on the Balkan situation. You want to blame it all the mafia - pst your proof. All you do is jawbone.

[ma bell]

The Mafia, dip, the Mafia. I don't need to post my proof as I'm not stupid to finger them. I prefer to live a long life, not to be shortened due to their interest in me. Let them be over there, it is their country. let them ruin it, so why do you even bother?

I just post facts I know and that is it.

You don't even know the precursor that led to the Kos Mitrovica upheavel back in 2001 when the Albs tried to cross the bridge. Do you and if you do, post what you know.

P.S- don't post, I dont know, you tell me. Your the self-described truth-crusader and know everything. I'm lightyears ahead of you, dip.

[ma bell]

i see your inability to come up with an answer, dip. Run along like a nice little boy.

[Destro]

I cam up with an answer - see above in what conditions I "supported" Slobo. So answer my questions - You back the KLA against Yugoslavia because Slobo was its president? You back the UN Court against Slobo? Answer if you dare.

[ma bell]

Dodging the question, I see. Typical cowardly fashion.

[Destro]

Maybe I am afraid the "mafia" might get me.

[Robert Drobot]

ma bell....there is still time for you to get it right........join with me in calling for a lock-down of the Clinton/Bush court in the Hague.

[ma bell]

again you failure to comprehend the seriousness of the mafia.

[ma bell]

get what right..meaning....???

[ma bell]

SUI

[getoffmylawn]

Wow. Destro and Ma Bell goin' at it (?) I must have missed a meeting or something.

[ma bell]

he's a shmuck!

[Oplenac]

As far as I know, none of the countries, which have emerged from the former Yugoslavia, teaches a balanced history of the Second World War and the Tito era....

The former Ambassador offers constructive assessment. Is Howard Zinn's "People's History of the United States" taught in American schools -- for a more balanced treatment of US history?

They need to work to break the link between patriotism, love of country, and war crimes.

This really needs to be said of most countries, not only those of the Balkans. For the Great Powers a war crime is often reduced to a solitary, misguided private from a backwoods state, an isolated atrocity.

[Nennsy]

Excuse me? A fraud??? Could you please explain what made you conclude that?

[mark502inf]

Mr. Oplenac returns with yet more commentary disconnected from that upon which he comments.

Is Howard Zinn's "People's History of the United States" taught in American schools -- for a more balanced treatment of US history?

You obviously have no connection with American schools. Many schools do use Zinn's book (for which he won the Eugene Debs award--maybe he'll get one named for Che Guevara next)--the book that covers Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Japanese internments each more often than it does Pearl Harbor; the one that mentions slavery over 50 times, socialism & communism over 40 times without mentioning free enterprise or the Democrat or Republican parties; that mentions Eugene Debs (ah, there it is!) more than George Washington and so on. Zinn's People's History is history like the People's Republics of communism were republics. It is also the history most taught in our American school systems.
