I'm sure Australia is real prowd of this outback trailer trash.

Well, we had Al Queda Johnny...

[George W. Bush]

Thanks for the Kosovo info. Keep us posted.

I keep wondering how long we'll take the side of Muslims who are bent on exterminating Christians. I think we're going to see a repeat in Liberia. Saudi money will fund it as usual.

Vecernje Novosti daily, Belgrade
August 29, 2003
By D. Savic

In exchange for assistance given to the Albanians,Islamists are aiding local terrorists in preparation of spectacular acts of terrorism in the major cities of Serbia and Montenegro. It is believed that among these, Belgrade and Nis are the primary targets. As well, Islamist cadres, primarily veterans from Bosnia, are providing training for thousands of Albanian terrorists in centers in Kosovo and Metohija: near Prizren, on the slopes of Mt. Sara, in the Kosovo Morava River valley [Pomoravlje], the Albanian cities of Kukes and Tropoi, and near Tetovo in western Macedonia.

These claims are made in a special report published in the U.S. publication "Defense & Foreign Affairs Daily" under the title "Osama bin Laden Focuses on the Balkans for the New Wave of Anti-Western Terrorism." The author of the article, editor Yossef Bodansky, is the director of research at the International Strategic Studies Association, and his professional biography includes the position of director of the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare in the U.S.House of Representatives, as well as advisory positions in the U.S. Department of Defense and State Department. He is the author of several books and articles in prestigious publications on terrorism, strategic issues and the Balkans.

"Starting in mid-August 2003, radical Islamist leaders elevated the role of the terrorism infrastructure in the Balkans as a key facilitator of a proposed escalation of conflict into the heart of Europe, Israel and the United States. The terrorism campaign aims to define the U.S. occupation of Baghdad as the turning point in the fateful jihad for the future of Islam," writes the author.

As a most characteristic development Bodansky mentions the
appointment of Shahid Emir Musa Aizi-an Afghanistan veteran close to the El Qaida elite and the leadership of the Taliban - as coordinator and head of special operations for recruitment.

"Recently Osama bin Laden's senior commanders decided to expand recruitment and activation of Slavic cadres because they look European, not Arabic, in order to increase the possibility of their operability in the West," it is stated.

Aizi, it is said, began with recruitment in August of this year primarily based among the Bosnian Muslims and, to a lesser extent, in Chechnya and the region of the Caucuses. Even though, adds Bodansky, the Islamists have trained future terrorists and bomb experts since the beginning of the 1990s, these have not yet been activated.

"Now it appears that circumstances have changed. At the end of August 2003, Aizi sent a report to Mullah Kudratullahu, a senior Italian official, on the success of recruitment of 'Slavic cadres' for the Islamist jihad. He added that some of these 'white devils' have already been indoctrinated and trained to the point where they can carry out 'the work of Allah in numerous European cities and on the territory of Israel.'"

The report by Yossef Bodansky in "Defense & Foreign Affairs
Daily" goes on to emphasize: "The training program is being conducted under the auspices of the Albanian National Army (ANA) with 'mujeheddins pulled from Bosnia' as commanders and in association with Al Qaida."

The author reminds that the growing significance of the Balkans is mentioned in the Islamist communiqué confirming and explaining the bombing of the UN building in Baghdad.

"This was the most significant and most authoritative statement of doctrine of the Islamist leadership in August 2003. The communiqué underlined the situation in the Balkans as the most significant protest of the Islamists against the UN and the West. The first communiqué was
issued on August 19, 2003 by the Abu-Hafs-al-Masri brigade, an elite group of Al Qaida. The Islamists claimed that UN officials "supervised the massacre of Bosnian women and children in 1992 and 1995" and that "the UN is responsible for the massacre of 7,000 Muslims in Srebrenica in 1995 because they sponsored the idea of non-establishment of an Islamic state in Europe."

Bodansky also states that on August 24 in London bin Laden's chief spokesman in Europe, Al-Muhajjirun, explained at length why the UN building in Baghdad represented a legitimate target: "Truly it has been recorded that UN soldiers in Bosnia stood by while the barbarian Serbs
massacred Muslims. The UN first decided to keep weapons away from the Muslims (fearing that they might be the ones to defend themselves and establish an Islamic government) and therefore they enabled their massacre. There were even photographs taken while they assisted in the mass murder and bandit-like raping of Muslim women and children. The wounds are still fresh."

"The statements were clearly directed in elevating the
disinformation that 7,000 Muslims really were murdered at Srebrenica, when independent forensic analyses indicate that there were actually a few hundred victims. The continued insistence of the allegedly massive number of
dead Muslims in Srebrenica also serves to overshadow the murder of Serbian civilians committed by Muslims in the same town," observes the author.

Bodansky concludes that all statements from August as well as intelligence information confirming the opening of a new Islamist holy site in Srebrenica with funds received from Muslim extremists in the United States serves to support the analysis that "a major new wave of terrorism, this time with many European Islamists, has all but begun."

CENTER IN ALBANIA

The author of the "Defense & Foreign Affairs Daily" text Bodansky observes that commanders now consider what they call "Albanian land" - Albania, Kosovo and parts of Macedonia - as safe ground for the injection of a new wave of terrorists - including Slavs - into the West. He
emphasizes that the place "for specific missions" is Albania from where on-the-scene reports indicate that a larger number of foreigners from Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Iran have been arriving since the
middle of August

SLAVIC CADRES

The preparation of additional Slavic cadres for operations
against America is in progress, reported Aizi, the head of recruitment for Al Qaida. Training and preparations are unfolding in the Balkans and the Caucuses, primarily in Georgia," it is said, adding that operations in the Balkans are under the supervision of Muhammad al-Zavahiri the
brother of Aiman al-Zavahiri, the second ranking leader of Al Qaida.

[FLAUSA]

History will record that World War III started in Yougoslavia, when the West tried to appease the Islamic terrorists by giving them the Balkans. But it didn't work anymore than giving Hitler the Sudenland (sp?)did at the start of World War II.

[F-117A]

Bump!

[dangus]

>>OF course, neither Destro nor the other genocide cheerleaders here on FR will remember that; they'll deny what happened at Srebrenica and approve of it simultaneously.>>

Go back to the Democratic Underground. From what I see, those who most vehemently opposed the installment of the Muslim regime in Kosovo asserted that the Srebrenica atrocities were exaggerated, and as such, not exceedingly worse than the actions of those of factions in the war which we did support.

No-one's saying nothing bad happened at Srebrenica, no-one's saying any of the atrocities which did happen were acceptable.

But it is fascinating that we caused far more death and destruction in Kosovo than we have in Iraq, without the leftwing anti-war hysteria. And, although we're still there, and life still sucks there, no-one's talking "quagmire."

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

No-one's saying nothing bad happened at Srebrenica, no-one's saying any of the atrocities which did happen were acceptable. >>

You haven't been paying attention. Go back and review the last year's FR postings on the subject of Kosovo. You'll find a huge number of genocide fans crawl out from rocks, hiss, and then crawl back. Staring with our old friend Destro here.

And if you think I belong on DU, wake up.

[Destro]

You actually belong on Mecca Underground.

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

You actually belong on Mecca Underground.>>

Well, there are enough people in that state scattered around Srebrenica. I don't suppose you'll mind if there is one more.

[Destro]

When a Muslim apologists like you looks at the bloody street in those pics and then tries to deflect the blame, it tells me all I need to know about your cult.

[Destro]

Breaking News: Macedonia Says Gunmen Killed in Clash Near Kosovo

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

First rule of divorce law: There Are Two Sides To Every Story. All I'm saying is that there's blood on both sides of the street. Which you acknowledge. The difference between you and me, Destro, is that you think the blood of Muslims is the blood of animals. I see them as humans, the same as the Serbs. And the Al Qaida Terrorists, and the Arkan Tigers are also both humans, of both PRECISELY THE SAME TYPE.

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

"With reasonable men I will reason, with compassionate men I shall plead; but to tyrants I shall give no quarter..." --- William Lloyd Garrison

[Destro]

Did Arkan's Tigers plan to target America? Americans? Arkan's Tigers and other Serbs were extreme in their defense of their people from Bosnian and Albanian Muslims allied to al-Qaeda. In this regard they were justified in their actions in fighting fire with fire.

While Arkan's Tigers were killing al-Qaeda allied Muslims, the USA somehow missed the fact that al-Qaeda was in the States with their agents learning to fly planes and Clinton "missed" the fact that the Balkan Muslims we went to war for were also al-Qaeda linked.

Live and learn, eh?

[Hoplite]

Arkan defended nothing other than his right to profit from the victimization of others, and ended his days in the public domain as he started them - engaged in criminal activities.

You seriously need to find some other idol, Destro - lionizing Serbian war criminals who were busy victimizing Christians when they couldn't lay hands on Muslims isn't really a worthwhile endeavor.

[DAPFE8900]

Thanks you Destro The serbs were fighting the same war we are now back then..And Das Clinton enabled the Kosavars and Bosnians to get a better foothold in the serbs throats... The muslims will not stop till all of the balkans are Islamic!

[Hoplite]

We're trying to expel people from their homes to make monoethnic regions to append to the United States?

Who knew?

[Destro]

There is fresh blood in the streets-streets NATO pledged to make safe for Muslims and Christians alike. Not happening. Speak on that.

I will not apologize for "lionating" the Serbs for busting the Jihad long before it was cool. As a non-Serb American I am in their debt and disturbed at what my nation did to those people in the Balkans.

[Hoplite]

What's the homicide rate in Kosovo vs. the United States?

In 2002 it was 3.4 per 100k in Kosovo vs. 5.6 per 100k in the US. Furthermore, 6 Serbs were killed in 2002 out of ~100,000, so while Serbs are at risk in Kosovo, your hyperbole doesn't really stand up to the facts now does it?

Meanwhile, in 3 months in 1999 your heroes managed to rack up a homicide rate something on the order of 250 per 100k, and that's just the statistic for the ~5,000 bodies that have been recovered, never mind those still missing.

So ultimately what we have here is your Greek Orthodox identity being responsible for your fraternal feelings for Serbian war criminals - and your placing their titular religious affiliation above their lack of respect for said religion's commandments doesn't really speak to well of you, now does it.

No need to apologize, Destro. You're sorry enough as it is.

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

Did Arkan's Tigers plan to target America? Americans? Arkan's Tigers and other Serbs were extreme in their defense of their people from Bosnian and Albanian Muslims allied to al-Qaeda. In this regard they were justified in their actions in fighting fire with fire.>>

No. They didn't fight fire with fire. They fought *tinder* with fire. THey struck first, and again, and again. And the barbarians of Al Qaida had absolutely no connection whatsoever with the victims of the unleased child rapists and mass murderers of Milosevic's personal bodyguard and his toadies.

By making Bosnia into a wasteland--Arkan MADE Bosnia into a threat. What would have happened if your fanboys had won the war? There would have been a little tiny rump Bosnia with no connection to the outside world but Islamic foreign aid. In that sense, Arkan and Osama were working to the same end: to create a tiny little army of Muslims bent on vengeance.

In saving Bosnia from genocide, we turned the Muslims of Bosnia into OUR allies, denied Bosnia as a training ground to OBL, and left the Serb aggressors to eat the dung of defeat that they so richly deserved and which they so thoroughly cooked for themselves. AND it left Arkan to get exactly the beginning (but, I assure you, not the end) of the cosmic vengeance which was his, and ALL genocidists.

[Destro]

The Serbs were driven away. The Serb population is down to almost extinction levels.

[Destro]

we turned the Muslims of Bosnia into OUR allies, denied Bosnia as a training ground to OBL

Just like the Sudeten Germans.

The obvious parallel is just too obvious for you, I guess.

Let's recap, however, shall we? You put out some BS, and I smacked you down.

At least you're directing your spam links at others now - so perhaps progress is being made.

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

Not so. The excreta-vacuole (look them up) state they set up, the soi-disant "Republika Srpska," is still in business and its populace very very busy in keeping their former Muslim neighbors from coming back and regaining the family farm.

[Destro]

"Republika Srpska," is still in business

Damn right! Victory is sweet.

[Hoplite]

Victory would have been anschluss with Serbia, not ever diminishing autonomy within the BiH Federation - considering Pale's the main strategic war goal was keeping the Brcko corridor open, the fact that the Bosnian Serbs have had to give up Brcko tends to put your pronouncement squarely in the clueless category, sport.

Remember what I told you about the shallow depth of your knowledge and the danger of getting in over your head?

Blub, blub...

Guess not.

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

Victory? Is the RS an independent republic? No. Is it a part of Serbia? No. Is it a worthless dump, a Moldova without the charm, a Belarus minus the democracy? Youbetcherash.

Well, you're welcome to it. May all of Serbia's "victories" in fascist aggression be PRECISELY as "sweet".

[Destro]

It is free of Muslims. Paradise.

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

Not at all. We worked very hard to send large numbers of people home. ANd more return every week.\

Now I'm sure you're looking forward to Hell. THAT is a country completely free of Muslims.

[Destro]

Free of Muslim political control.

[FormerLib]

Now I'm sure you're looking forward to Hell. THAT is a country completely free of Muslims.

Hell is free of Muslims, eh?

Hey, thanks for admitting that you believe the September 11th Terrorists are in heaven!

Now all of Free Republic will know you for exactly the sort of American-hating Muhammedan that you truly are!

Ping this thread to everyone! Ronly Bonly Jones has exposed his TRUE colors!

[adam_az]

[RussianConservative]

Funny thing statistics...66 thousand Serb die in Bosnia, 40 thousand Croat and 100 thousand Bosnian Islamic...but you only focus on Serb...how Jihad of you.

[RussianConservative]

But what about what your hero Orek do in Srebrenica...or rather hills surround Srebrenica...where Serbs LIVED...note I say lived since your friend and jihad Orek releaved 6 THOUSAND of burdon of breathing.

[RussianConservative]

Funny how you rush to accuse Serbs/Christians always but never one bad word to daily mass atrocity of your friends: Jihaders.

[FormerLib]

And what are you Muhammedans hiding over here, eh?

[Hoplite]

All for you.
= )

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

No Serb who commits Genocide is a Christian.

And as for ranting against Muslims, you guys do enough of that without my help.

I daresay I've done my part to defend the United States against islamic terrorism. I don't have to explain myself to YOU.

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

Ahem. Srebrenica was an 80% Bosniac town before the war.

Now it's 99% Serb inhabitants, since 7/11 (ahem) occurred.

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

No. There are none in Hell who submit to God.

Everyone in Hell is an enemy of God, a Satanist.

That includes a LOT of people who were Muslims on Earth.

That ALSO includes a LOT of people who were Christians on Earth, too.

Not a few of which were also--ahem--formerLiberals.

There are none in Hell who serve God. By definition.

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

Free of Muslim political control.>>

Actually free of Serbian political control too. The place is run by Mafia criminals, most of whom are Serbs.

[MizSterious]

Wow. Well, I guess there are all kinds on Free Republic.

Wonder if this person will be joining in with the "peaceful" Muslin celebrations of the "19 heros" of 9/11 being held around the world?

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

Well, if this were 1938, FormerLIb, Destro et al would be burning down synagogues, and smashing my windows and screaming "JEW JEW JEW JEW!" at my family for disapproving of the practice.

It's like the unborn. Declare any part of the human race to be subhuman and the Nazis come out and want to kill you.

[FormerLib]

Forget it, Bonly boy, we've got your number!

[FormerLib]

Wonder if this person will be joining in with the "peaceful" Muslin celebrations of the "19 heros" of 9/11 being held around the world?

I've no doubt of it!

[FormerLib]

Declare any part of the human race to be subhuman and the Nazis come out and want to kill you.

Define for us again what "infidel" means and how they are to be treated?

The more you talk, the deeper you dig yourself in, Muhammedan!
