"If you're looking to pursue non-American interests, find yourself a different country to prod. If you're looking to pursue American interests, you'd best get your facts straight first."
Hoplite--your insults only show that you ran out of arguments and start playing a pathetic game of accusing me of not being patriotic. Not unlike Communists occusing being their opponents of being "Nazis" or social liberals accusing anyone who disagree with them as being "Racists", "Sexists", "Homophobes" and fill in the blank.
This is a complete BS. Questioning your arguments with factual counterarguments whether the US intervention in the Balkans on Muslim Behalf in Bosnia and Kosovo was in the long-term US Interests in light of 9-11, Islamic doctrine of worldwide conquest, etc. is perfectly reasonable and perfectly patriotic.
This insult game simply doesn't work with me. If you disagree with me, show me your facts, but if you going on insulting tirade, you simply showing yourself as someone who is incapable of holding a rational discussion and as an unworthy opponent.
I repeat again that IMHO, Milosevic, as bad as he was, was lesser evil than Jihadists as far as the US interests are concerned. My posts from different sources make substantial allegations that there was heavy Iranian and Al-Qaida involvement in both Kosovo and Bosnia. And you are telling me that Al-Qaida who seeks to wipe the US off the map and foment Islamic revolution all over the world to create worldwide Islamic Caliphate is lesser evil than Milosevic ? Sorry, Hoplite, but this is ABSURD.
Anyway, I'm not interested in trading insults with you. I'm simply digging beyond what PC Media broadcasts, and I suggest you do your own research and dig a bit deeper than the garbage the "Mainstream" media is feeding you. The good place to start is http://www.balkanpeace.org where you get good info up to date on the situation in Kosovo and Bosnia. You can dig many other sources, like the book by Yossef Bodansky (Director of the U.S. Congress' Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional warfare) detailing Al-Qaida and other Islamist involvement in the Balkans. So save your insults for bad neighbors and start researching -:)))

Wow - you're fast.
Not.
And then you have the temerity to reference me to one of the failed Cassandra's I was talking about - Yossef Bodansky.
Way to go. Home run. Superb effort. If you want to continue to be a disinformation victim regarding the nature of Kosovo and Bosnia's Muslims and Al Qaida's efforts in the region, then by all means, have fun and continue to toe the Serb nutjob line on the matter.
Say, by the way, do you notice anything odd about Balkanpeace's War Crimes Section Witness Testimonies?
Big "Duh" there, sport.
Today I attend a Special Forces chapter meeting. I was shocked at how emphatic my buddies were that we supported the wrong side in Kosovo.
I would tend to support your assertion here, despite Milosevic being a communist...
The leftist internationale had a hard time deciding between their communist political sympathies and their cultural Marxism. They erred on the side of the most destructive, as they always do...
