Russia, U.S. heading for clash over Kosovo
World Peace Herald/ Washington Times ^ | January 26, 2007 | By David R. Sands

WASHINGTON -- Russia and the United States may be heading for another clash of wills as a United Nations mediator prepares to issue his recommendation today in Brussels over whether the province of Kosovo should break free from Serbia, a close ally of Moscow.

U.S. and NATO peacekeepers are on heightened alert in Kosovo as U.N. Special Envoy Martti Ahtisaari gives a closed-door briefing on Kosovo in Vienna, Austria, to the six-nation "Contact Group" trying to broker a diplomatic deal.

Serbia has vowed to keep control of the province, whose overwhelmingly ethnic Albanian majority is demanding independence. Kosovo has been in political limbo since 1999, when a U.S.-led bombing campaign drove out Serbian troops under President Slobodan Milosevic.

Western diplomats fear Kosovo's impatient Albanian leadership could resort to violence if their statehood hopes are blocked. About 16,000 NATO-led peacekeepers remain in the province eight years after the end of that war.....

Kosovo should not be independent. Twenty years from now we will regret allowing this to happen.

Muslims are pure evil, just like DemonRATS are. I think Pastor Hagee was right when he said the gates of Hell opened and those demons spilled out all over the earth. Just like that, they're everywhere.

I saw a documentary about the children of Kosovo and it was so sad. They all had to leave because Muslims were raping and killing them. So many of them had lost their parents and families. It focused around one girl who had younger siblings to take care of, and they had to walk over 2 miles a day just to get water to drink. They had very little to eat. I never realized just how bad things really were in Kosovo until I watched that documentary. I felt so bad for them. How could Clinton fight with Muslims and not Christians? I'm telling you, there's a special place in hell reserved for that man.

Many ancient Serbian Orthodox churches and monasteries have been destroyed.

I do believe a lot sooner than that. Kosovo is already a heroin cartel run by the UCK...

Great reminder, Carry. It also may tell us why Bush the son doesn't want to change course in Kosovo, because it might eventually out Walker and Daddy Bush's part in our South American adventures! Lets' not forget that George Bush Sr. used to be CIA Director.

"What's the exit strategy?

The US, UN & NATO pack up, go home and let Serbia back in to defend its people and its territory. Or even, temporarily, help them to do it since we made the mess and should at least make a short-term effort to help clean it up.

But they were not part of the Religion of Peace.

You really want to know? You won't believe the answer and the real reasons for the Kosovo bombing.

You have the technicalities of the decisions but not the core reasons.

Clinton, Soros, coal, silver, and drug running? Then there's abetting autonomous Islamic jurisdictions in Europe.

Fun for everybody.

No, none of that, it was Hillary and Albright. The behind the scenes account of these two and their hands in Kosovo have been described in detail years ago here on FR. Too bad we have to revisit the mess they created because her Highness is getting ready to crown herself.

Recall that in 1998 Hillary was in her full power as President of the President traveling in Africa with full regalia, an entourage so large and so expensive that even her sycophant's in the press could barely contain their disgust at the waste and extravagance. There was Hillary in Morocco in flowing garb and head wrap with Chelsea by her side while her man-boy subordinate was indulging young interns less than half his age in the Oval Office.

Then there was Hillary's hand-picked midget underling known as the US Secretary of State who had taken over the Balkan problem from Holbrooke and wanted to repeat for her Highness, and at the direction of her Highness, the success of Richard Holbrooke's partition of Yugoslavia, for what? To show a 'Strong Woman' would do better.

It was Hillary in Africa that ordered Albright to get Milosevich's signature on the Rambouillet accord agreement. That agreement meant losing Kosovo. Now understand that Kosovo is as sacred to Yugoslavia as Gettysburg is to the USA. No way were Serbs going to allow anyone to dictate to them to give up essentially the most important piece of their cultural heritage. No matter what you think of Milosevich (as Krauthammer characterized him "a bad guy in a very rough neighborhood filled with very bad guys"), he at least would not back down from Albright's ultimatum.

Now do you see the pattern? Remember Waco? Remember all the child abuse propaganda reported that was never proved? Remember the brutally harsh military tactics used in an enforcement action that required only that local sheriffs or Federal Marshals to hang out at a local grocery store to pick up Koresh on gun charges?

So in Kosovo the pattern repeated. Albright phoned Hillary in Africa saying "that man will not do what I tell him to do!". Telling that to her Highness is for her the most enraging thing that could be told to her as her entire life is about getting her heel on men, especially because in her view they are all the same as the man-boy that she married and that she used in her climb to power.

When Albright told Hillary the above, Hillary immediately telephoned her subordinate in the Oval Office and ordered him to bomb the Serbs back to the stone age "Bomb Them!". To form a pretext for her hideousness, Kaplan at CNN concocted the Balkan ethnic cleansing holocaust hyperbole.

And Milosevich was never found guilty because he was not guilty. Oh, he was bad alright but he never rose to the diabolical crimes of Hitler.

Hillary Clinton is as dangerous as megalomaniacs come. She must not be allowed anywhere near the Oval Office.

No, none of that, it was Hillary and Albright.

What you cite here are symptoms, not causes.

Just whose interests do they serve? Power-mad politicians and idiot stooges like the Hildabeast and Albright don't do what they do for mere idealogy; they do it for power. Acquiring and holding power takes, as you would say, "cashola." That means somebody who's got it has to have reason to "donate." One of the reasons Soros is so committed to getting rid of GWB is that he was making buckets of money off the Democrats. He's got plans too, which is why he's the biggest landowner in South America. He and his buddies are maneuvering into controlling America's food market.

The power to regulate is the power to sell favors; it's the power to pick winners and losers in the marketplace. Socialism destroys wealth, and everybody knows it; so Democrats have to regulate in order to have something to sell. The only people committed to them are either dependents or those who have the cashola to call the shots.

The resource racketeering game has two sides: constraining domestic production and acquiring foreign assets on the cheap. Soros' favorite gambit is to do the latter after crashing the currency, but he's not above other means.

In the case of Kosovo, Soros was looking to corner the silver and coal production there and a war was very handy toward letting him pick up those assets for a song. As to the dope business, well, let's just say that it's a dandy reserve currency sink and it's better us than the Euro.

Now do you see the pattern?

Sigh. I already had seen the pattern, one that you apparently didn't investigate. Kosovo was typical Clintoid smash-mouth politics. Blowing the Chinese embassy was a real gem.

Kaplan at CNN concocted the Balkan ethnic cleansing holocaust hyperbole.

Oh he amplified it, but it was only after cousin Bill Walker had staged the material. Check out the link and the rest of the thread and remember Mark's first law of politics:

Nothing big and bad goes on for very long unless both sides are dirty.
