Bump

Great post from a great newspaper. One of the very few 'newspapers' worthy of the name.

"Could it be because the international community made a grave mistake and has now found itself in a quagmire with no solution in sight?"

Geopolitically speaking, we shot ourselves in the foot. Handing Kosovo to the Muslims pained me. I can only imagine how Serbs, Greeks, Ukrainians and Russians felt. Allbright brokered the action with the international community, and Clinton tuned out everything except the popularity pole results. Richard Holbrookes foul mouth raged on NPR. I bit my tongue - not that I am anybody - because of the rape camp and ethnic cleansing charges leveled against the Serbs. The whole thing stunk. In the end, we didn't win any brownie points with the Muslim world, and we didn't turn Kosovo into a just place to live. Did we stop the killing or just allow the original aggressors to finish the job?

Speaking of Clinton foreign policy, do we still have troops in Haiti? CNN Headline news crawler reported another uprising today.

We'll never hear about this in the major media outlets unless they can spin it to blame Bush, because anything else, they'll have to explain how they got us into the place in the first place.

Isn't the war on terrorism supposed to be against terrorists? I think the Albanian incursions into Kosovo and Macedonia has ably demonstrated their ability to be called terrorists.

The Serbs sang, "God, Give Us Justice."

So God sent the United States to do just that.

NATO General..........."we bombed the wrong side"

Freepers.........typically felt uncomfortable with Clinton's bombing, but supported it at the time mainly due to massive mis-information in the media. However, once the dust cleared and the truth started coming out........Freepers ( on the whole ) changed their views and accepted that Clinton's War was wrong. However

die-hards such as Hoplite & R.B. Jones..........still defend the Clinton/Amanpour/Clark lies told about the Balkans.

we bombed the wrong side

Accept it.

We didn't bomb the wrong side so far as Clinton and the global socialist Internationale were concerned.

The Islamofascists won the PR war early on with the help of Left-leaning newspapers and magazines throughout the Western world. Even a number of conservatives were fooled by it and didn't have much to say against Clinton's fascist war of humanitarianism.
