And we're lead to believe the world loved us before Dubya. Surprise! We're not talking President Bush here but President Clinton. Read these fascinating old FR threads prior to the last election

ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- Following a wave of anti-American demonstrations, the government announced today that President Clinton has postponed and shortened a visit to Greece. The government said Clinton would come to Greece from Nov. 19-20, cutting his stop to less than 24 hours

ATHENS (Reuters) - Leftists demonstrating against President Clinton clashed with police trying to stop them from marching to the U.S. embassy on Friday.

Russia to US - You bombed Serbia, so shut the hell up about Chechnya [Free Republic]

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia roared back at the United States Friday over criticism of its Chechnya campaign, saying comments by a U.S. State Department spokesman were tantamount to aiding "information terrorism."

In a strongly worded statement, the Russian Foreign Ministry said State Department spokesman James Rubin's remarks about the Chechnya campaign made at a Thursday briefing were "absolutely unacceptable, both in form and content."

CIA trained Kosovo rebels: U.S. 'observers' gave advice on how to fight Yugoslav army

LONDON -- American intelligence agents have admitted they helped to train the Kosovo Liberation Army before Nato's bombing of Yugoslavia. The disclosure has angered some European diplomats, who said the training undermined moves for a political solution to the conflict between Serbs and Albanians. http://www.FreeRepublic.com/forum/a38cbfb595b49.htm

BELGRADE, April 27 (AFP) - Islamic Saudi millionaire Osama bin Laden, wanted for terrorism by the United States, is in Kosovo, the official Yugoslav news agency Tanjug said Wednesday.

"After hiding out for several years in Afghanistan," the agency said in a despatch from Kosovo's capital Pristina, bin Laden "has found a new refuge in the Balkans, precisely in Kosovo, the nest of European terrorism."

Tanjug said bin Laden, whom the agency described as a "terrorist and Islamic fanatic," arrived from Albania after having formed a group of 500 Islamic fighters in the eastern region around Korce and Pogradec to carry out "terrorist acts" in Kosovo.

He also planned similar acts in the southern region of Serbia bordering on Kosovo including Presevo, Medvedja and Bujanovac, the Yugoslav agency said.

Tension has been mounting in the region over the past 10 days, with many armed incidents and increasing ethnic Albanian demands. Its population includes some 70,000 ethnic Albanians, many of whom have complained of being harassed or maltreated by the Serbian police.

Tanjug said bin Laden arrived in Kosovo accompanied by "a close collaborator, Abu Hassan."

Bin Laden is wanted by the United States in connection with the 1998 bombings of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, in which 224 people were killed.

MOSCOW -- An Iranian truck that contained nuclear material was seized along the border with Kazakhstan.

Russian sources said the truck driven by an Iranian national carried 10 containers of nuclear material when it was stopped along the border of Kazakhstan and Uzbekhistan. The sources said the truck was headed for Pakistan.

The Russian Itar-Tass agency confirmed the attempted smuggling of the nuclear material. They quoted Kazakh sources as saying a probe was launched but did not provide details.

The truck was stopped by Uzbek security officers. They said the trailer, which was manufactured in Iran, arrived from Kazakhstan. Documents in the truck identified the addressee as a Pakistan firm in the town of Quetta.

Uzbek sources said the Iranian driver carried documents that the truck was carrying stainless steel and that the shipment did not emit radiation.

Customs officers stopped the truck after their equipment registered that the vehicle emitted 100 times more radiation than the approved level.

U.S. officials said Iran has tried to smuggle nuclear material from Muslim republics of the former Soviet Union. In the early 1990s, U.S. intelligence suspected that two nuclear bombs were smuggled from Kazakhstan to Teheran.

Nuremberg Lawyer names Clinton worst War Criminal since Hitler - Kosovo [Free Republic]

As the bombs, smart and dumb, fall ceaselessly on Serbs, Montenegrins and sometimes Albanians, on bridges, waterworks, electric generation plants and factories, and on trains, trucks and homes, the remorseless crusade for "humanitarianism" presses forward to the applause of journalistic and academic shills. To paraphrase the Roman historian Tacitus, we are busy creating a desert, which we can then call peace.

Rep. Traficant -The Gutless Wonders of US Trade Commission and Clinton/Gore Administration

(Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)

Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, Bliss Manufacturing in my district makes bumpers for General Motors. Not any more. Bliss bankrupted yesterday, putting 500 of my workers on the street due to two reasons: number one, the continuing flood of illegal steel imports; and number 2, after a recent decision by the United States International Trade Commission that ruled in favor of Japan, Russia, Brazil, and Korea.

Beam me up. Even the Youngstown Vindicator, one of the most respected newspapers in Ohio, one of the staunchest supporters of free trade in open markets, said enough is enough. I agree with the Youngstown Vindicator.

I will be submitting legislation this week that my colleagues should support. I want to yield back the gutless wonders of the United States International Trade Commission and the Clinton/Gore administration that appointed them.

As I researched an old article I came across these threads that I had archived. We're lead to believe by the left and MSM that everything was great, we were loved by all, the economy was terrific, Kosovo was a success, we were safer and everything was hunky-dorry (sp?) when the 'Toon was in office. Well take a look at these old threads in case any of you forgot. Some of them were not from FR.

Note: JF'n Kerry voted for bombing Serbia. That was one war that we didn't HAVE to (his words) be in.
