The Euroweenies deserve everything they are about to get.
Too bad the Clown and the Troll can't be delivered to the tender mercies of the religon of peace, as well.

If the War Against Terror is to be meaningful, the Bush administration should investigate the biggest unknown scandal of the Clinton years: that throughout the 1990's, the U.S. government aided and abetted al-Qa'eda operations in the Balkans, long after he was recognized as a major security threat to the United States.

Albanian islamofascists supported by Clinton were recognized by a few as the big problem. Wes Clark's obviously faked mass graves recon photo whould have been enough to get them all in trouble. Instead it was allowed as the justification to keep feeding the islamofascists.

The Bosnian crisis started when Alija Izetbegovic, the Muslim leader, reneged on an agreement brokered by the European Union that provided for continued power-sharing in Sarajevo.

I just know that Hoppy and RBJ are going to go into shrieking fits over the truths being so plainly stated in this article!

And the die-hard Clintonistas still reveal themselves by trying to blame it all on the Serbs. At least it helps to identify who the kneepad-wearers are.

Milosevic was right: JIHADIST HOTBED IN THE BALKANS: THE TRUTH IS OUT

As if Milosevic had nothing to do with reigniting Islamic jihadism in the Balkans. Milosevic is just a Communist totalitarian who changed clothes at the end of the Cold War to become a Serbian Nationalist totalitarian. He restarted the ethnic infighting in Yugoslavia as a way of maintaining personal power. Should anyone be surprised that when Serbian nationalists started a war of extermination against Bosnian Muslims that the world's most extreme Muslim jihadis would be drawn to the region?

Milosevic should have been tried by a Tribunal made up of judges from the various parts of Yugoslavia not a UN tribunal. The UN through its incompetent prosecution has actually improved Milosevic's standing in popular opinion in Serbia. We're fortunate that President Bush is not going to hand Saddam Hussein over to an ICC tribunal.

No disagreement. Milosevic opened up the can of works. He used the Kosovo issue to become head of the Serbian communist party and then of Yugoslavia. Once the Serbs started to reassert their ETHNIC power, the minorities chose to leave. (Slovenia may have left on its own, but Croatia's Tudjman came to power based on opposing Milosevic.)

I see you've still got the cart firmly placed before the horse. As the article noted:

For the record, Serbs react very badly when double-crossed.

For the record, Lib, Izetbegovic renegged on the Lisbon accords in the Summer of '92, as Cutiliero himself confirmed in a letter to The Economist.

After several rounds of talks our "principles for future constitutional arrangements for Bosnia and Hercegovina" were agreed by all three parties (Muslim, Serb and Croat) in Sarajevo on March 18th 1992) as the basis for future negotiations. These continued, maps and all, until the summer, when the Muslims reneged on the agreement. Had they not done so, the Bosnian question might have been settled earlier, with less loss of (mainly Muslim) life and land. To be fair, President Izetbegovic and his aides were encouraged to scupper that deal and to fight for a unitary Bosnian state by well-meaning outsiders who thought they knew better.

That would be Jose Cutiliero himself, writing to The Economist in 1995.

Since negotiations require good faith, and the Serbs had spent the time from April to the ending of the negotiations murdering, raping, and ethnic cleansing their way across 70% of Bosnia, and wouldn't stop until after Dayton was signed, any attempt to portray Sarajevo as the problem suffers the same fault that all the other Serb nutjob theories littering FreeRepublic are afflicted by - they're based upon lies and disinformation.

Whatever - you can sucker the odd ignorant Freeper with this trash, but you just keep an eye on what Washington does in the Balkans.

Watch and weep, Lib - you're out in the cold on this one, regardless of what administration is calling the shots in Washington.

There was plenty of hate and ethnic tension between Serbs and Croats in Croatia long before the war started and Milosevic was in power. The Croat diaspora in Australia, Canada, US, and other places committed a string of terrorist attacks and activity for the cause of independent Croatia in the decades before the '90s wars. They were vehemently anti-Yugoslavia. These people started coming back to Croatia and Bosnia a couple years before the war started and caused problems. This is from a story about descendents of Serbs from Montengro in Juneau, Alaska. They mention travelling back to Yugoslavia and noticing the signs of ethnic tension and hate back in 1985 Croatia:

http://www.juneauempire.com/Archive/November98/111598/stories/111598/serbs.html

In 1985, the last time the Dapceviches visited Yugoslavia, they saw a portent of the ethnic wars to come - a sign outside a Croatian restaurant that said ``No Serbs Allowed.''

``The place was beginning to fall apart,'' said Natalie Dapcevich Alton...

Sorry Hoppy, it's your turn along with your buddies, the al-Qaeda thugs in the Balkans.

Wes Clark's obviously faked mass graves recon photo whould have been enough to get them all in trouble. Instead it was allowed as the justification to keep feeding the islamofascists.

The photos were of mass graves at Izbica and Pusto Selo. Milosevic & Serb apologists screamed fake. After the war, the bodies weren't there, but the Albanians in the area said the Serbs had come back, dug them up and left. More screams of fakery--can't trust those Shqiptars anyway, right? Well, now the Serbs themselves have dug up 800 Albanian bodies inside Serbia, to include some positively identified as Izbica and Pusto Selo massacre victims.

The Serbian Interior Minister says that Milosevic in a March 1999 meeting ordered the mass graves in Kosovo to be cleaned up. The bodies of Albnaian men, women, and children are now being returned on a fairly routine basis from where they've been exhumed in Serbia back to their relatives in Kosovo--its announced every month or so on the UNMIK we-site. The murders were real, the graves were real, and the cover-up has been uncovered.

You can read a little about it here (includes some observations on how it was done by a Belgrade police captain)or check out the UNMIK press releases @ www.unmikonlin.org or read this story about the three American citizens with theri hands tied behind their backs who were murdered by Serbs and buried nearby or do a google search for the sites in Serbia where the Albanian bodies were transported and re-buried: Petrovo Selo and Batajnica.

This one's a little older, but has some observations on the impact on family memebers.

Still on the kneepads, hoping for Clinton's return, Hoppy? Or hoping you'll get a chance with Hillary?

the three American citizens

Those were ethnic Albanian mercenaries who went into Serbia after the Kosovo war. The had refused NATO's call to disarm, according to a fellow named and quoted fighter. Those brothers fought with the KLA and entered Serbia during a state of emergency. They put themselves in that position. If they stayed in America they'd have been fine; if they stayed at their mother's house in Kosov, they'd have been fine. Instead they seemed to want to continue the war in southern Serbia.

How about you give the names and autopsy reports of those alleged women and children found in Serbia. If they've all been identified and autopsied.

You really belong on the playground Lib.

Your non sequitur ad hominem non-responses cry for an audience who would appreciate them.

Tom Sanderson of the Center for Strategic and International Studies and Chris Wright of the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London were quoted as saying that smuggling routes through southeastern Europe were well established and said there was “a lot of scope” for collusion between terrorist groups and criminal gangs.

These routes have been in place not for years, but HUNDREDS of years. It'll be a real challenge to intercept smuggling of arms through this area.
