They’re forgotten because we unjustifiably declared war on them, siding with the Albanian Jihadists instead. I would love to extradite Slick Willy to Serbia. Him and his wife.

Knowing the Serbs the way I do, and how they treat their enemies and those who have done them wrong, Bill and Hillary Clinton would probably be treated far better than even they could imagine. That’s how the Serbs are...They’re good to their enemies.
