The Clinton-Bin Laden Connection:There is such a thing as an Unjust War (but Iraq isn’t it.)

The American liberal is a hypocrite. Where were these "men and women of conscience" when President Clinton failed to respond to murder of American citizens aboard the U.S.S. Cole and at two United States embassies in Africa by Usama Bin Laden? They simply accepted Clinton’s policy of appeasing Bin Laden by not taking any substantial action against Al-Qaeda. And no, firing a cruise missile into a baby food factory and another at nearly empty Al-Qaeda camp is not considered “substantial action” from a military perspective.

However, the American Liberal raced to the street to defend their President after the United States House of Representatives impeached him for perjury, obstruction of justice, and abuse of power. They also protested President George W. Bush’s war against Iraq by repeatedly screaming the words “War for Oil”. I think the current price of gasoline at the pumps proves that their “War for Oil” theory was fundamentally flawed. The war against Iraq, with or without Weapons of Mass Destruction, was a proactive attack designed to stabilize the Middle East and free a people from one of the most inhumane dictators since Stalin. You may be asking yourself: Doesn’t the American Liberal protest every war? The answer is “no”. Need one be reminded of President Clinton’s personal war against the nation of Yugoslavia (Serbia)? At a time when Saddam Hussein was killing Kurds, North Korea was developing nuclear weapons, a massive undisputed genocide was taking place in Africa and Al-Qaeda was planning its attack on the World Trade Center, President Clinton decided to fight a war he knew he could win.

Shortly after Clinton came clean about lying to the American public about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky, the Clinton family went on a vacation to Martha’s Vineyard to heal the damage. It appears that being stuck on an island with Hillary wasn’t the best thing for World Peace. On the second day of this healing vacation, President Clinton had to rush back to Washington to become a War President, always a good idea when people are trying to force you from office.

It appeared that William Jefferson Clinton had “just” discovered that the Yugoslavian Army was fighting a war against an insurgent movement within its own boarders, against the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) Clinton claimed that there was a genocide against the Islamic Albanian population taking place in the Serbia province of Kosovo. Whether or not there ever was any genocide taking place in Kosovo is a topic that is hotly debated to this day. There is strong evidence that no such genocide ever took place. There are facts concerning Kosovo, however, that are not in dispute.

The first is that President Clinton faced virtually no opposition to attacking Yugoslavia. The American Liberal looked proudly on as President Clinton used the US military to prevent what they believed was a new holocaust in Europe. This, he accomplished, by bombing civilian and military targets in the Serbian capital of Belgrade, which is located hundreds of miles from Kosovo. The massive bombing campaign resulted in the death and injury of hundreds of innocent civilians. It was the type of action that the American Liberal might have called a “War Crime” if a Republican president had been involved.

It was a well known fact that Usama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda had been operating in Albania since 1994 with the support of the Albanian government. Albania shares a boarder with Kosovo which is similar to the one the United States shares with Mexico. It was around this time that Bin Laden began to supply the KLA with money, troops, and supplies to fight for independence from the government of Yugoslavia. This was the same Kosovo Liberation Army that President Clinton sent American troops to defend when they were being attacked by the Yugoslavian Army. The Clinton administration was aware of the KLA’s connection to Al-Qaeda.

Need one remind the reader that this took place after Al-Qaeda had attacked United States property and interests at least three times? Now American soldiers were being sent to support Bin Laden’s troops in a war against Yugoslavia on direct orders from President Clinton, all done to divert public attention from his lying about a relationship with Monica Lewinsky. Had there ever been a time for anti-war protest this would have been it.

On a few website bulletin boards, I have used the term PEACE NAZI to describe the peace movement in general, and one person asked me for an explanation as to what the term means and why I say it. Here is my answer:

It is intentionally derogatory, and I use it because I believe it has to be said.

It has to do with the foundation of the PEACE movement in the US and abroad and their Communist foundation, and how the majority of the signs held and slogans chanted are not about peace or genuine concern for the people of two warring countries, it is about the anti-American attitudes and the violence-inducing signs and slogans calling for violence against American Troops and President Bush.

Carrying signs calling on troops to kill their officers, to bomb Texas, for Bush to choke on a pretzel and die, for troops to shoot their officers, signs that call for communist revolution, starting fights with people who disagree with you while carrying a peace sign, trying to steal my money in Boston while carrying a peace sign and then telling me because you were shamed into giving back the money that means you are ok after all...

Things like that.

I will NOT stop using it. It is intended to make the peace protester think.

After all the horrors we found in Iraq, you should all be thankful we went in and invaded to remove that madman. Yet, the mantra has changed, it is now against occupation! Still, not one PEACE NAZI has apologized and admitted we were right. All they do is complain that a people that were under slavery for 30 years have gone looting, and who do they blame? Why the US!! We did nothing to stop it! Maybe because we stayed out of the crowd because the PEACE NAZIS would have complained we didn’t let them vent their anger??

(As a side note, people who are now called PEACE NAZIS didn’t call on the LAPD or Federal Troops to stop the LA riots after the Rodney King riots, did they? They told us all to step back and let them vent their anger, yet all of a sudden, we are supposed to go in and use force to stop rioters in Iraq?)

And to top it off, we are flushing out the terrorists in places like Fallujah, the places where the Murderous Mullahs all take refuge, and the PEACE NAZIS have not ONCE held a rally to decry the beheadings of Americans or Iraqi CARE workers! Not one PEACE NAZI rally held to call for justice for the Killers of Daniel Pearl or any foreigner killed in Iraq!

We never intended to occupy a country like SYRIA has the last 20 years, and where are the PEACE NAZIS and their signs calling on SYRIA to leave Lebanon? They are non existent. The Syrians killed tens of thousands, chasing little children into bedrooms and shooting them point blank.

Did you know there was a Christian Community in Beirut before 1985? Now, they are almost either all killed or fled from the Syrian backed Junta, and not a peep from the PEACE NAZIS, only against American forces sent to Beirut to keep peace. Why aren’t the PEACE NAZIS arguing for the return of the Christian Community back to Beirut where they lived for 2 Millennium?

Where were the PEACE NAZIS when Israel was blockaded in 1967? Where were the PEACE NAZIS when Israel was attacked on her Holy Day of Yom Kippur in 1973? Where were the PEACE NAZIS when the PLO was shelling Katyusha rockets into Israel in 1982? Oh, Yeah, I remember, they were telling Israel to stop defending themselves!

In fact, there is not a single country that we ever went to war with that we stayed as the government power for more than 10 years! We always returned it to the people.

And that brings up another point: PEACE NAZIS are NOT against war, they are against wars that the US is engaged in to overthrow pro-Communist or PRO-radical Islamic regimes or PRO-Maoist/PRO-Stalinist regimes.

My point here, is simple: These COMMIES are not for peace. If they were, they would have been screaming about Clinton killing innocents to keep his sexual scandals off the tv;

they would have been screaming for the Palestinian Liberation Organization to stop killing Jews;

they would have been screaming for Hamas and Islamic Jihad to stop killing Jews;

they would have been screaming for the Hutus and Tutsis to make peace;

they would have been screaming for that madman Saddam to stop killing Kurds or Iranians;

they would have been screaming for the Turks to stop killing Kurds or Greeks;

they would have been screaming for the Chinese to stop killing Vietnamese in 1982;

they would have been screaming for the Angolan Army to stop killing with the help of the Cuban Army in the 1980's;

they would have been screaming for the Muslims to stop killing Christians in Indonesia, Malaysia, and China and North Korea;

They would have been screaming for the Sudanese to stop the torture and slave trade which continues today in Darfur;

They would have been screaming when the Syrians invaded Lebanon in 1985 and have continued an occupation of Lebanon since the 1980's;

They would have been screaming when Pol Pot started a genocide in 1975;

They would be screaming now about Mugabe killing all the white farmers in Africa in Zimbabwe;

They would have been screaming at the murders caused by the African National Congress and their necklacing of prisoners and at Winnie Mandela who was convicted of murder, yet the communists are silent;

They would have been screaming about Tiananmen Square, but they are silent;

They would have been screaming about the repression in Cuba and why so many people have chosen to flee in rickety little boats, but instead they lionize that dictator, Castro;

They would have been screaming about the invasion of South Vietnam in 1975 where the north started a genocide campaign in direct violation of the Paris Peace Accords of 1973 and caused over 2 million Vietnamese to flee in little boats that got picked up by ships like the one I was on in 1981;

They would be screaming at the Palestinians for their suicide bombings that intentionally target innocent school age children;

They would be screaming at the Palestinians for their suicide bombings that intentionally target innocent people on buses, or pizza parlors, or weddings, or wheel-chair bound invalids on cruise ships, or Olympic hotels;

Except, the only time they scream is when the US is at war against a tyrant who is support by Russia or France.

In much of the world, the antics and policies of these PEACE NAZIS would result in jail – or worse. Cuba, China and many socialist countries routinely eliminate protests – and protesters – against the government and its leaders. It seems ironic that the ultimate goal of these protesters is to transform America into the kind of government that tolerates no dissent.

And since NAZI is one of the most vile insults you can give someone in our last two generations, I call them PEACE NAZIS, for they are not for peace, they are for war, they are for the overthrow of my country and into communism and anarchy, and they are a violent bunch who base their foundation on lies and the telling of lies and the repeating of lies.
