Clinton’s vanity war.
Here’s a story about Richard Holbrooke, as told to me by well-known Serbian-American.
In 1998, Clinton persuaded NATO to attack Serbia to “protect” Kosovo from genocide. The Serbian-American, being a supporter of Clinton, called the White House to dissuade Clinton from doing this, knowing no genocide was occurring. Clinton refused his call and referred him to Holbrooke, who he also knew. Despite pleas, Holbrooke refused to listen to him and wound up hanging up on him.
As it turned out no genocide actually occurred and after 10 years (with no exit strategy), the US military and NATO continues to “protect” Kosovo, which this Serbian-American said will be the next Islamist terrorist stronghold.
Now that Holbrooke is Obama’s Special Envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, can the words crisis, disaster, quagmire, lies be applied be applied to the Obama strategy?
