Your natural inclination is to think what you are thinking, i.e. "They COULDN'T have made it ALL up...". In the case of normal people, you'd be right. In the case of the Klintons and their spin machine and the NATO spin machine, that's wrong. They could and did make it all up.

There were about a baker's half dozen real reasons for wanting to do Kosovo and, together, they did not add up to a case; the pentagon advised Slick not to do it. The overriding concern at the time was the Juanita Broaddrick story on the front pages of American newspapers and journals. Something clearly had to be done and quickly, and Kosovo turned out to be the something.

Real world reasons for Kosovo included:

• The oil pipeline through Albania, for which the Albanians demanded Kosovo as recompense. This might make sense to somebody who didn't know that American oil companies actually preferred the Russian pipeline plan, which did not require Albanian approval...
• The 5 - 20 trillion in mineral wealth of the Trepca mines in Northern Kosovo.
• Fear of Albanian population spillover into NATO countries, destabilizing them.
• The fact that Yugoslavia represented a salient into an otherwise solid block of NATO territory.
• The fact of Milosevic having taken Yugoslavia out of the IMF in 94 after seeing the harm the IMF had done to neighboring states. Milosevic started out life as a banker and the bankers who run the NWO apparently see him as one of their own gone bad.

Note the absence of anything resembling concern over Albanian Kosovars in the list. Albanians, like chechens and palestinians, are feral people. No sane person actually gives a rat's ass over what happens to them.

Ok, it's time to take a breath and stop letting this al-Qaeda apologist get under your skin. Yes, Kosovo has been overrun by the KLA narco-terrorists and the vicious Albanian nationalists (represented on FR by such types as Hoppy), but there's no way we should let that anger spill over to those Albanians who managed to live in peace with their Serb neighbors in Kosovo (and who will do so again when Kosovo is reunited with Serbia).

Don't let the idiots drag you down to their level!
