If I understood you correctly, United States sidded with Al Qaeda to fight against a common enemy in Bosnia,the Serbs? Can you elaborate it, especially strategic angle of such alliance?
1. Was the benefit of an alliance with Al Qaeda greater than the cost of the consequences (Al Qaeda infiltation into U.S. intel community)?
2. Why the Serbs are the enemy of the United States to justify U.S. becoming an ally of Al Qaeda? Or they were only a decoy in a ploy to import the cancer of radical islamism into the heart of Europe?
Thanks for pulling WWII analogy,it seems you understand WWII well. Perhaps you could elaborate the strategic angle of U.S. influence into financing Hitler's rise to power in the 1930's and keeeping Hitler's war and economic machine powered and lubed before and during WWII (well documented how U.S. companies helped Hitler with knowhow and suply of strategic materials). Hitler became U.S. Enemy #1 only after December 6 1941. Europe was 2 years in war with Nazi Germany by then. Serbs were fighting Nazis for 6 months by then.
When U.S. entered WWII, Serbs helped U.S. war effort by running the largest rescue mission behind the enemy lines and saving 500 U.S. flyboys. As a thank you note, USAAF bombed Belgrade on Easter Sunday 1944 and killed thousands of Serbs. In subsequent bombings tens of thousands were killed. For some reason, Serbs were designated as U.S.enemies, even when directly helping U.S. war effort.
In final analysis, in the 20th Century, Serbs fought against two enemies previously aided and abetted by the United States, Hitler and Al Qaeda.
Serbs waged the war against islamic terror since 1992. Was that the reason why Serbs as a people were singled out as U.S. enemy?
ALWAYS REMEMBER AND NEVER FORGET - CLINTON'S SUPPORT TO AL QAEDA IN BOSNIA MADE 9-11 POSSIBLE!
Answers to your questions.
1. We have literally turned over the Balkans to Osama bin Laden's KLA terrorists, and that is the final result of our intervention.
2. The Serbs lost the PR war. The bottom line is that Saudi Arabia, the real culprit in this civil war, wanted the first Islamic state in the belly of Europe and the U.S. wanted Saudi oil and money. The Saudis' had signed a letter of intent to buy $6 billion worth of Boeing aircraft. The day AFTER we bombed the Bosnian Serbs, based on a staged self-inflicted massacre by Bosnian Muslim forces in Sarajevo at the Markale market place. A coincidence? I don't think so. The Bosnians and Croats were able to hire the best PR companies in the U.S., among them Ruder & Finn. It is my guess that since they didn't have the money to hire such an expensive PR, it was the Saudis who financed them. As for the Serbs, because of sanctions, they were not permitted to hire any PR firm in the United States.
The reports about Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo were and continue to be completely controlled by the anti-Serb media. News like the machine-gunning of three Serb youths while they were swimming, would have been on the news throughout the country. The recent atrocities in Kosovo of Serbs barely makes the news, especially in any of the major media that couldn't wait to put out their propaganda against the Serbs.
Surely, Goebbels would be envious today of the role the media played in the outcome in the Balkans.
Today's map of the Balkans is almost identical to that envisioned by Hitler.
