‘Evil’ Hillary Clinton Book Sparks Row in Serbia

The body representing Serbia’s Albanian minority denied asking to include Hillary Clinton’s autobiography in Albanian pupils’ curriculum after a Serbian minister expressed fury about Bill Clinton’s role in bombing Yugoslavia.

The Albanian National Council said on Wednesday that it did not ask the Serbian Education Ministry to make the former US Senator and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s autobiography mandatory reading for Albanian high-school students, after the reported request caused anger among officials in Belgrade.

“This was not asked for… We believe that autobiographies can’t be made school reading,” the Albanian National Council’s secretary Enver Mehmeti told BIRN.

Mehmeti said that the Council only proposed which Albanian-language textbooks should be used in schools, all of which follow Serbia’s approved curriculum.

Serbian Education Minister Mladen Sarcevic told the daily newspaper Politika on Wednesday that he will “not allow high schools to teach about someone from the family that ordered the bombing of Serbia”, referring to the 1999 NATO air campaign aimed at ending Belgrade’s military operations in Kosovo, which was led by the US under President Bill Clinton.

“If [Albanians] see the Clinton family as supreme good, we see it as supreme evil,” Sarcevic said.

Hillary’s already working on her next book.

It’s the story of how she and Obama and Soros murdered the leader of another country. It’s called

MURDER FOR FUN AND PROFIT

We came. We saw. We paid a thug to shove a bayonet up his ass.

During Bill Clinton’s 1999 NATO-led war in Kosovo – which according to some estimates cost as much as $75 billion – we bombed Belgrade for 78 days, killed almost 3,000 civilians, and shredded the civilian infrastructure (including every bridge across the Danube.)

We devastated the environment, bombed the Chinese embassy, came very close to engaging in armed combat against Russian forces, and in general, pursued a horrific and inhumane strategy to rain misery on the civilian population of Belgrade in order to pressure Milosevic into surrendering.

Why did we do all that? The US did not even have an arguable interest in the Balkans, and no one ever tried to claim that Serbia represented any kind of threat to our nation or our interests.

But for months the Clinton administration had told us that Milosevic was waging a vicious genocide against Albanian Muslims, and needed to be stopped. The New York Times called it a “humanitarian war.” In March 1999 – the same month that the bombing started – Clinton’s State Department publicly suggested that as many as 500,000 Albanian Kosovars had been murdered by Milosevic’s regime. In May of that year, as the bombing campaign was drawing to a close, Secretary of Defense William Cohen lowered that estimate 100,000.

Five years after the bombing, after all the forensic investigations had been completed, the prosecutors at Milosevic’s “War Crimes” trial in the Hague were barely been able to document a questionable figure of perhaps 5,000 “bodies and body parts.” During the war, the American people were told that Kosovo was full of mass graves filled with the bodies of murdered Albanian Muslims. But none were ever found.

Instead of reading a work of fiction by Hillary Clinton, how about a book about her, like Barbara Olson's book on Hillary, or Christopher Hitchens' book on both of them, or something more recent by a knowledgeable conservative? If they aren't available in Albanian translation they should be.

Which book would be the best for foreigners to read who knew little about the Clintons?
