Group tied to al-Qaida backs McCain for prez

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain has enjoyed strong support from a lobbyist group that backs the Kosovo Liberation Army despite allegations the KLA is a Muslim terrorist group with ties to criminal drug networks and al-Qaida.

The Albanian American Civic League, or AACL, regards the KLA as "freedom fighters," said the AACL's president, former Republican congressman Joe DioGuardi of New York.

They're "not terrorist, like the Serbs and Greeks say," DioGuardi insisted in an interview with WND.

But Islam expert Robert Spencer, editor of the popular website Jihad Watch, contends radical Islam is the driving force behind the Kosovo independence movement.

"There is no excusing the excesses of the Serbs under (former President Slobodan) Milosevic, but there is no denying also that jihadists have been pouring into Bosnia and Kosovo, preparing to use them as a base for jihad activity in Europe – and we have been helping them," Spencer told WND.

Spencer explained that the KLA is directly linked to the Kosovo independence movement.

"When Kosovo independence was declared, thousands of Kosovars gathered in Pristina and chanted, 'KLA!' 'KLA!' Spencer noted. "This was a telling indication of the broad popular support the KLA enjoys."

KLA members, however, continued Spencer, were trained in al-Qaida camps.

"There is little doubt that there are powerful elements in Kosovo who are Islamic supremacist and pro-Sharia (Islamic law)," he said. "They will do all they can to turn Kosovo into a jihadist camp in the heart of Europe."

Spencer pointed out Kosovo is about 90 percent Muslim, and the independence movement has grown by incorporating Albanian Muslims as members and supporters.

McCain working with a flaming Socialist like Lieberman to help Islamic terrorists pretty much tells you all you need to know about McCain and the movement of the GOP to the Socialist left.

Absolutely right! BTTT!

Well, the AACL paid for McCain, and they know him well. Why should they take a chance on Obama? Altough Obama seems to support the same Kosovo policies, and is backed by Soros, Brzezinski , and Samantha Power, he has a lot of unknowns. And he has fewer obligations to the AACL.

However, for the rest of us Americans, either McCain or Obama is a DISASTER. We are truly in deep yogurt!!!!

“I can not see how the Senator Obama can bring this up in the campaign without exposing the fact that it was a Democratic Administration which both developed and pursued this policy for 8 years under Bill Clinton.”

And nearly 8 more under the dhimmi administration of that man Bush. Obama would be smart to play this up big as it would demonstrate what a break with the past he is.

“You can not hang this on McCain. He is the only Candidate in this race who has a record, spanning decades, as a proponent for a strong national defense policy against all of our enemies (Communists and Islamofacists).”

McCain has been a screaming, public supporter of the Communist Pathet Lao genocidal regime made up of blood stained monsters for years, much to the embarrassment of the GOP. His support for and arming of Mohammedan terrorists and his unending support for the expansion of Wahabist terrorism in Europe is likely born of his extensive financing from the Islamofascsts. He’s been bought and paid for by them. What isn’t understandable is his unflagging support for the Lao communists since they have no money to pay him with. The speculation among some in the Indo-Chinese ex pat community and in fact among some former people from “the other side” that McCain is either a former communist himself or they’ve got something real good on him. Having been on the receiving end of one of his screaming fits about Laos and Lao and Hmong freedom fighters, I personally think he is simply an old fashioned comm-symp.

July-August, 1998---The KLA separatists takes over 40 percent of Kosovo by force, by killing Yugoslav police and driving Kosovo Serbs out. The KLA terrorist groups are well-armed and supplied. The U.S. is one of the backers of the KLA separatists or terrorists. 1998---US State Department declares the KLA separatists are “terrorists”. US media dismisses the pronouncement.

Ratko Mladic was Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic's army chief throughout the Bosnian war. After Serb forces heavily bombarded the UN-protected town of Srebenica, Mladic entered the town with his troops, where he proceeded to separate Bosnian Muslim women and children from all the men aged 12 to 72. The women and children were taken to Muslim territory. The men, over 7,000 of them, were executed by Serbian forces over the next five days and buried in mass graves.

Have you heard that Catholics eat Jewish babies? No, well some people claim that, doesn't make it true though.

I'll give you a chance to prove whether you're open minded or a Serbophobic bigot.

Have you ever heard of Naser Oric?

As commander of the 28th Division he had used "the UN-protected" town of Srebrenica for years as a staging area for his unit to attack surrounding Serb villages, killing thousands, including at least 1,300 unarmed civilians. "The noncombatant Serbs, including women, children, and the elderly, who were killed by the Srebrenica garrison were in many cases butchered, tortured, mutilated, burned alive, or decapitated."

On the night of July 11th, a mixed column of 12 to 15,000 soldiers and refugees set out from Srebrenica to fight their way through Serb territory to Tuzla, fifty miles away. It was six days before they began arriving in Tuzla. Only half made it. Most died from machine gun and artillery fire, perhaps 2,000, mostly soldiers, were executed. Along the way the Muslim 28th division took time out to attack Serb villages.

All in all a dirty business on all side, but the Western press only reported one side. Where do you get your information?

For good understanding of what really went on in Bosnia read Unholy Terror by John R. Schindler—professor of strategy at the Naval War College and former National Security Agency analyst and counterintelligence officer.

"Hillary. By far." If she gets past the nomination, you will be negating my vote. I will not take it personally.

If Obama gets the nomination, what then?

If what you have written concerning McCain is true, how come nobody has picked up on it as of yet? Surely there are political operatives on both sides of the spectrum who would use it if it has any truth to it.

I am not calling anyone a liar. I am merely pointing out what any talk show host would do. I can see many faults in McCain the candidate. But these things you have mentioned are beyond just mere faults.
