Bill Clinton unveils statue of himself in Kosovo
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/kosovo/6481057/Bill-Clinton-unveils-statue-of-himself-in-Kosovo.html ^
Posted on 11/01/2009 2:14:22 PM PST by kronos77
The 11-foot statue, dedicated to the US president to thank him for launching a Nato bombing campaign to halt the killing of ethnic Albanians by Serbian troops in 1999, sits on a boulevard also named for Mr Clinton.
"I am profoundly grateful that I had a chance to be a part of ending the horrible things that were happening to you 10 years ago, giving you a chance to build a better future for yourself," Mr Clinton told the crowd. "I never expected ... anywhere someone will make such a big statue of me," he said after the statue was unveiled. He urged Kosovars to build a multi-ethnic country with the minority Serbs and other minorities and said the United States would always help Kosovo's people. Kosovo declared independence from Serbia last year and was recognised by the United States and major European Union powers - a total of 62 countries worldwide - but not by its former ruler, Serbia, Russia or China. Kosovo Albanians regard Mr Clinton, Tony Blair and Madeleine Albright, Mr Clinton's Secretary of State, as their saviours and have even named babies after them. "In 1996 everybody was saying that Clinton is a good man and he will help us and then my father named me after him," said 13-year-old Klinton Krasniqi. Around 10,000 Albanians were killed as Serb forces moved to wipe out an ethnic Albanian guerrilla force. Eight times that many were expelled to neighbouring Macedonia, Albania and Montenegro.

interesting speach because as far as i rember clinton didn´t want to get involved in this war in generall.
It have been the europeans who demandet the nato bombing of serbia. (ok i have to admit clinton had no choice because if he would have refused nato would have died).

Most of the Muslim Albanians in Albania are Sunni Muslims and Bektashi Shi’a Muslims. It is estimated that 90% of ethnic Albanians in the Republic of Kosovo are Muslims.

yeah maybe he did! but then again there was a real genocide against this people. we should not forget this. if serbia would have not attacked every one of its former citizens the europeans would have never called for a bombing which will stop this madness. (of course if this would have happened in africa no one would have cared) but it happened in europe so the people did care.

We should put a statue of Der Shlickmeister in ground zero and on the side of the wall at the Pentagon. Let the congressional black caucus contract it out.

"yeah maybe he did! but then again there was a real genocide against this people. we should not forget this. if serbia would have not attacked every one of its former citizens the europeans would have never called for a bombing which will stop this madness.BS, darkside! There was NO "genocide of the Albanians" in Kosovo before the NATO Bombing. There were a few thousand dead on ALL sides.
There was an Albanian terrorist insurgency trying to take Kosovo away from Serbia of which it has always been a constituent part. You can't "attack" your own territory -- Serbia was defending its own territory of Kosovo. We in the West decided to back the Albanian terrorists just so that we could plant a NATO base in Kosovo.
NATO SHOULD have died with the Cold War. Instead, we allowed NATO to morph from a purely defensive organization into an aggressive one -- and it's first and second act of aggression was in the former Yugoslavia against our WWII Allies, the Serbs.
We screwed ourselves in favor of the NWO by bombing the Serbs -- and now the chickens have come home to roost.

"I am profoundly grateful that I had a chance to be a part of ending the horrible things that were happening to you 10 years ago, giving you a chance to build a better future for yourself,"The delusional First Rapist still hasn't caught on... He bombed the wrong side.
But I suppose it's fitting that he should joining the monumental Mao and Saddam Hussein statues in the iconography of losers.

As documented by Daniel Pearl, who was subsequently murdered by the muslims.

Wow! Why don’t the Shiptars add statutes of obama, Halfbright, and Tony Blair (the inventor of “NICE”—age-based health care rationing, as well as being a Serbophobe mad bomber), and have a sort of “Mount TRASHmore”!!!!
Only the Serb army can return peace, justice, and civilization to Kosovo!
