Then we can learn how the traitor McCain collaborated with al-Qaeda, just like he probably did with the Commies in Vietnam.

Wars, regardless of the reasons for them, are always horrible. Perhaps this producer was trying to convey that message...along with making money.

What the hell are you smoking? I didn’t like McCain as a candidate either and there is no doubt he is not a principled conservative. That being said, I don’t question his patriotism and it is outright libelous to accuse him of treason with no basis.
That would be General Wesley Clark, I presume?
I would also like to get a list of the 30 or so Generals who refused to participate in this operation and were replaced with some more willing and eager.
There is no reasonable way that a decent person could have ever taken the albanian side in any of the Balkan wars, but that goes quadruple or quintuple for Kosovo. McCain was seriously on the wrong side of it and part of it was money.
That would be a very food idea for a movie. I still wouldn’t see the whole thing though. Too depressing.

I think you’re dead-on, sad to say.
McCain is a bad man...a very, very bad man.
He coddled al-Qaeda terrorists in Kosovo and Albania.
John McCain armed the KLA, Politika
Group tied to al-Qaida backs McCain for prez
'They will do all they can to turn Kosovo into a jihadist camp in the heart of Europe'
He turned his back on Vietnam POWs and MIAs by joining with John F'in Kerry to shut down investigations into their whereabouts (ask D1 or exit82 more about this).
As for his conduct in Vietnam, I shall refer you to Ted Sampley's work.
Any further questions?
Aside from anything else you could say about the turkey, there’s the question of throwing a presidential election... I mean, I’d heard about prize fights being thrown and people shaving points in basketball games before, but a presidential election?? That’s new. All the guy ever needed to do was mouth four simple words, “I oppose the bailout”, and he’d be president today, simple as that, and he cannot possibly be stupid enough not to know that. He could have changed his mind later had he wanted to.
I have always thought that we owed the Serbs for their help and sacrifice during WWII. Added to that, they are, at least, nominally Christian.
We should made a deal with the Russians and given the Serbs free rein, or even helped them, then called it even.
I still don’t understand why we came down on the side of Muslims, terrorists, and organized crime in eastern Europe.
There was zero humanitarian case to be made for aiding the kosovars. There were a half dozen or so real-politik kinds of reasons and the pentagon determined that together theyy did not add up to a case for doing anything and advised SlicKKK not to do it. The overriding concern was having Juanita Broaddrick and Chinagate on the front pages of newspapers; a week after starting the Kosovo operation, there were newspaper reports of SlicKKK and his cronies doing high fives and talking about hitting a “home run”. A home run that is, which amongst other things, cost the lives of several thousand little Slavic Orthodox children.

Not that it ever entered their reptilian minds but all the nauseatingly mealy-mouthed obnoxious pronouncements of measured concern that accompany the gifting of even more of the North American Party of Death’s political plunder to help their third world disaster victims will never offset, wipe away, relieve or in anyway remove from the Democrat’s ever expanding warehouse of shame the crime against humanity that clinton’s Yugoslavian bombing campaign was.
And to all the pilots and/or crews who had the misfortune of being assigned a role in that shameful event but who instead jettisoned their bomb loads over water rather than participate in that criminal assault know that you were and are still held in high esteem.
The fact that the entire campaign was conducted from the air and from high altitude is instructive. NATO and American forces knew from day one that this was another episode of dog wagging for which they could not possibly ask anybody to go more than the tiniest bit into harms way.
Also included would be a shot of long lines of ‘fleeing’ muslim Albanians, aka ‘kosovars’, seeking shelter and aid at the front and rear of an aid station before willing and waiting media cameras. Shots of grateful Albanian refugees accepting large food packages stamped (variously) “Gift of the USA” or “UN Relief Package”.
Next, a shot of the same people in each line circling around the station to join the line opposite, making the lines appear horrendously long. Media studiously omits filming these scenes, but careful scrutiny reveals the same faces over and over again in both lines.
Cut to scene of people striping uniforms off dead ‘rebel’ (Albanian) KLA soldiers and redressing them in civilian clothes, as another ‘civilian’ leads media cameras toward the small town to film the ‘atrocities’ committed by the evil Christian Serbs.
Next scene takes place in an open (once military) compound for Serb refugees who have been without food and water for weeks and are approaching starvation levels. The gates to the compound are open, but the compound is surrounded by a protective chain link fence with the tops linked by barbed wire facing outwards to keep trespassers out.
A media crew rushes in to film the horror, but stop short of entering the compound and begin filming through the fence - a curious Serb, ribs showing, clothes in tatters, approaches the film crew. He asks through the fence, if they have any food or water to give them. Film crew ignores the man, keeps filming, then departs the way the came.
Cut to: Talking Head on American News TV: “We are bringing you the raw footage of the atrocities now taking place in Kosovo.”
TV shows shots of dead civilians in the small town we saw earlier, labeled “Site of Serb Massacre”; next a shot of the grateful ‘kosovar’ refugees accepting aid - close up of smiling old lady holding an aide package; next a shot of the man in the compound, labeled “Serb Prison Camp - just liberated by the KLA”.
Only a few remark on the truths and ironies on the then nascent internet: Kosovo was were the Muslim invasion into the underbelly of Europe was halted by the ancestors of the same evil Christians in the 16th century; those same evil Christians fought and slaughtered the Albanian muslim SS in WWII; those same evil Christians rescued downed USAAF pilots returning or going to bomb Ploesti (http://www.redstate.com/skanderbeg/2009/08/01/august-1st-1943-the-ploesti-raid) - including my step father (c.f.”Catch 22”).
Bump for later.
“That being said, I don’t question his patriotism and it is outright libelous to accuse him of treason with no basis.”
There’s basis and not just on this issue.
