"He (McCain) did everything that we asked of him, including arming the KLA", said Albanian lobbyist Joe DioGuardi. The Albanians collected one million dollars for the presidential campaign of this senator.
Americans of Albanian heritage collected a million dollars in one evening for the presidential campaign of Republican Senator John McCain, said the Albanian American Civic League yesterday, the lobby group headed by former Congressman Joe DioGuardi. A reception for McCain was held January 22 at the Saint Regis Hotel in Manhattan, and the senator, who is now leading in the runoff for the Republican party candidacy in the November elections, cut his campaign in Florida by one day to attend this gathering.
"Even in 1998 when we had problems with Milosevic, McCain did everything that we asked of him to the benefit of the Albanian people, including arming the KLA", announced DioGuardi. "We are American Albanians and we need a leader who will strengthen this country... We must support John McCain because he did everything we asked of him for Kosovo, from supporting the Kosovo Liberation Army to supporting the independence of Kosovo. Two years ago he spoke in Brussels and said that independence is the only solution", concluded this former congressman who has been fighting for the independence of Kosovo and Metohija for more than twenty years.
He explained that the first thing McCain said to him when he entered the hotel in Manhattan on January 22: "Joe, I saw your people in Michigan, and in South Carolina and in New Hampshire", from which this lobbyist deduced that all Americans of Albanian background will be voting for the senator from Arizona.
DioGuardi and his wife Shirley Cloys-DioGuardi have been friends with McCain for years, and he intervened several times in the Senate on behalf of the Albanians. Because of that, the Albanian American Civic League awarded him the "Balkan Award for Peace" a year and a half ago, and the initiative was the proposed Senate resolution - which McCain wrote - in which thanks is extended to the Albanians for "saving all the Jews who lived in Albania or who sought shelter there during the Nazi Holocaust".
However, even though he is leading in the presidential nomination, John McCain has not yet succeeded in convincing the primary wing of the Republican Party - the conservatives - that he is the right candidate. One of the reasons is that he often spoke and voted against the majority Republicans, as in 1999 when he asked for more intensive air bombing of Serbia.
In April of that year, three weeks after the bombing commenced, he announced that the US is in danger of losing the war to the Serbian Army which has "antiquated machinery" and "absolutely no military air power", if massive strategic air attacks are not initiated. "Attacks on any infrastructure target must not be prevented. We all regret civilian losses, as well as our own, but they cannot be avoided," he said.
During the pre-election campaign in February 2000 at a meeting in Manhatten, John McCain asked for the release of all Albanian prisoners in the prisons of Serbia proper, and a year later he used his influence to ask the administration for an urgent investigation into the killing of the brothers Bitici who were taken from prison and killed in the police training center in Petrovo Selo in eastern Serbia. This February 5 the senator held another meeting in Manhattan and in the public there was a visible Albanian flag.
Yep, that’s how I remember it...I don’t know how McCain voted on the Kosovo war, but most pubs were against it...I can tell you that even though they were against Clinton’s Kosovo excursion, they did not even come close to what the rats have put W through on the WOT. They stood by then President Clinton for the sake of standing as one nation.. That was a military involvement that America should never have been involved in.
MC Cain ommitted the important fact - Albania was under Italian occupation and Italy did not persecute the Jews. that's why the Jews survived. In Kosovo, Albanian hunted down Jews, the same as they hunted Serbs. Today, Kosovo is JUDENREIN.
Albanian manipulation of the documented historical facts is pure Holocaust revisionism and Mc Cain is Holocaust revisionist if he supports it.

Why don’t you just change your name to McCainPimp?
That’s the only reason you came to FR!
Very interesting that the Kosovo Albanians didn't want Croatia or Slovenia to get independence until they had maneuvered themselves into the right position within Yugoslavia to launch themselves out.
One thing that always stuck out like a sore thumb to me was how each ethnic group -- the Slovenes, the Croats, the Bosnian Muslims, the Kosovo Albanians all told of "centuries of abuse" with exactly the same stories and the same buzz words, and yet they all waited neatly in line to make their exits. I mean, if all their stories were true, wouldn't they say the same things using slightly different words and wouldn't it be natural instinct to all split at once? Like, "Damn, Serbia is busy dealing with Slovenia and Croatia splitting, why don't we declare independence now, too & make a run for it?" But instead, they all stood in line and waited their turn like good little German soldiers, as though the whole thing were planned. Even an American cop friend of mine said the same thing, "The break-up of Yugoslavia was all rehearsed and planned. Nothing in real life happens with such precise political organization."
btt
the left wing subversives have arrived.
serbs went to the gas chambers along with jews for helping them
And McCain supports those who murder innocent Serb civilians.
I’ll never vote for him.
No, it was worse. He wanted ground troops in Serbia because he didn't think Clinton's bombing campaign was forceful enough.
He was against it at first, but quickly flipped once Clinton started it. At that point he jumped in with both feet.
I have been here before years ago. just forgot my handle and password. are you telling me i should leave because I support Mccain and you dont?
You can do what you like. However, looking at your posts, all you have done is pimp for McCain and attack those he is or will be running against.
The main thrust of this topic is Kosovo. Does McCain recognize Kosovo as an integral part of Serbia? Do you?
Did McCain support the bombing of Yugoslavia? Did you?
Do you know anything about Kosovo?
Photos have consequences, my friend.
......“Mustapha” McCain....
Also known as Insane McCain Hussein. It was truly an act of insanity—as well as inhuman cruelty—to bomb the “infrastructure” of Serbia, even as far away from Kosovo as Novi Sad and Subotica. Blame not only McCain, but also the clintons, Halfbright, Weasley Clark, and all the rest.
Unfortunately, the Democrats will give us another “Hussein” to vote for, no matter which one of the two wins. And Soros will be there, backing either one of them with his money and power.
pimp for mccain ? who are YOU pimping for? Obama?
