Kerry terrorist connection ping
This column should be required reading for every voter.
Since the fall of the Soviet Union, it seems that the Dems are trying to create a new super enemy that can be used for the Orwellian perpetual war.
The only problem with this, however, is that Bush has also defended the Kosovo war. But maybe out of ignorance and deference to the judgment of his predecessors.
A Message from the Serbian-American Voters' League*
This November thousands of Serbian-Americans will be faced with an important choice. They will choose between a President who has endeavored to take a more even-handed approach to the former Yugoslavia than his predecessor, and a challenger whose old-guard allies and advisors have condoned the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Serbs from the Krajina, armed the Muslim side in Bosnia, started an illegal and unprovoked war against Serbia, and allowed Kosovo to become a KLA fiefdom.
As individuals we may disagree with some aspects of President George W. Bush’s policies. As members of the Serbian-American community, however, we have to take into account the fact that John Kerry’s foreign policy is being molded by Clinton’s veterans whose zeal for anti-Serb interventions has been abundantly proven. As The New York Times noted (April 11, 2004) Kerry’s foreign policy advisors are more hawkish than most Democrats: “He routinely consults [with] Biden, Berger and Holbrooke… Potential secretaries of State Biden and Holbrooke, for instance, were leading advocates of military intervention against Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic during the 1990s… Many of the key figures around Kerry staunchly supported the Kosovo war.”
“People are policy,” they say in Washington, and history suggests that ‘range of opinion’ will shape a new president’s foreign policy as much as the specific ideas the candidate advances during the campaign. Richard Holbrooke, who infamously called Serbs “murderous assholes” (The New Yorker, Nov. 6, 1995) is slated for a top diplomatic post if Kerry is elected. James Rubin, Albright’s chief propagandist during the Kosovo war, is Kerry’s senior foreign policy advisor. General Wesley Clark is also an advisor to Kerry, and tipped to be a candidate for Rumsfeld’s successor. These gentlemen need no introduction to the Serbian-American community.
Then there’s Dr. Ronald D. Asmus, Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs under Albright and now Kerry’s foreign policy advisor, who says that the “unfinished business in the Balkans” is the most pressing foreign policy issue and who hailed the decision “to wage a war to stop Serbian aggression in Kosovo” as the defining moment for NATO. There’s Will Marshall, also Kerry’s foreign policy advisor, who enthuses over “the exemplary nature of the 1999 U.S.-led intervention in Kosovo” – a policy which he says was “consciously based on a mix of moral values and security interests with the parallel goals of halting a humanitarian tragedy and ensuring NATO’s credibility.” There’s Philip James, former senior Democratic Party strategist, who says that Abu Ghriab was “sickeningly reminiscent of the darkest days of Serbian supremacy in the Balkans.” The list is long, but the quotes are all alike.
On his web site Senator Kerry says of the Balkans, “We will continue to support the ethnic re-integration of Bosnia” and “The people of Kosovo must be able to determine their own future.” “Re-integration of Bosnia” is the code for the revision of the Dayton Agreement and the liquidation of the Republika Srpska demanded by the Muslims. “Self-determination” is the code for Kosovo’s independence.
Candidate Kerry says, “Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator who deserves his own special place in hell, but that was not, in itself, a reason to go to war.” Six years earlier Senator John Forbes Kerry voted Yes to S Con Res 21 (introduced by Biden, D-DE, the “Kosovo Resolution”) to authorize the war against Yugoslavia, which was adopted 58-41 on March 23, 1999.
Only a week after Mr. Kerry signed a vacuous note to the Serbian National Federation – ending it with “Ziveli i mnogaja ljeta!” – he addressed a message to the Albanian community (July 23, 2004) in which he said he was proud to receive support from Albanians, promised to takcle the final status of Kosovo immediately, and attacked the Bush administration for “turning its back” on the region:
“The people of Kosovo must be able to determine their own future, including how they want to be governed … Continued delay – which is all the Bush administration has offered – hardens the positions of extremists on all sides… I will need your help in building the support we will need in Congress and with the American people to carry out this historic task… I am proud that we will, together, help make real the dream of Albanians, of Americans, of our allies.”
Last May Richard Holbrooke organized a dinner meeting with Albanian-Americans in New York to raise funds and secure Albanian-American votes for Kerry. It was attended by Madeleine Albright, Wesley Clark, James Rubin, and Rep. Eliott Engel (D-NY). They all expressed commitment to the independence of Kosovo. Two months later the KLA chief Hashim Thaci was invited to the Democratic National Convention – which in itself was scandalous – and on his return to Pristina declared: “It was confirmed once again that a Democratic administration would recognize and respect the will of the people of Kosova [sic!] for self-determination.”
It is to be feared that an incoming Kerry regime will seek to “finish the job” in the Balkans by dismembering Serbia, recognizing Kosovo’s “independence”, encouraging Montenegro’s secession, destroying Republika Srpska, and “internationalizing” the crisis (non-existant for now, but certain to be duly procured) in Vojvodina and the Sanjak.
In short, a Kerry administration would pursue policies that would be destablizing to peace and stability in the Balkans, catastrophic to the interests of the Serbian nation, deeply detrimental to the reputation of the United States, and contrary to all American ideals. We therefore ask you to support President George W. Bush.

That one is not over, and the precedent cannot possibly be allowed to stand. I mean, what the hell are we gonna say when the UN comes over here demanding that we hand Texas, California, and the entire American southwest straight over to Mexico on the same perverted basis of ethnicity being everything and things like sovereignty, rightful ownership, and history not meaning anything anymore?
The program for the Balkans contemplated by Kerry and his clintonite advisors, and by the REAL power behind the Big Nothing Kerry, George Soros, amounts to nothing less than genocide against the Serbian people!!!! Nations that indulge in genocide, no matter how powerful, usually do not stand. Remember the fate of Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and Ottoman Turkey. If the US under Kerry/Soros commits genocide against the Serbs, America may well share their fate, and take us all down with it.
This is yet another reason NOT to vote for John Kerry, and to do everything we can to re-elect George W. Bush!!!!
Imagine someone who fell in coma in 1988 and got awaken today. Soviet empire collapsed without a shot being fired, Germany unified, Europe planning to include Turkey, Ghadafi cooperate with Americans, majority of American brand name products are "Made in China" and American jobs are running to India. If he needs a drink after hearing this shocking news, he would be surprised- even Jack Daniels sells watered down whiskey.
Things change. That's why it is important to think and plan before it is too late.
The failure to destroy lots or Serbian armor was entirely predictable. Absent open terrain (like a desert), the only way to destroy a tank force wholesale from the air is to make them MOVE. Since the Serbs were not going to be forced to maneuver (Clinton had taken the Ground Offensive option off-the-table) they could make maximum use of camoflage, air defenses & simple decoys. My question is: If Wesley Clark is so smart, how come he couldn't figure this out?
Worse, when the after-action investigation proved very few tanks were destroyed (most were pulled out on trucks and trailers!) Clark covered up the reports, and demanded new ones be written and replaced with new investigators!
The Clintons enabled and emboldened the enemies of freedom, by bombing christians.
Serbs are my Brothers.
The so-called Vietnam anti-war protestors were not against war at all. They just felt we were fighting on the wrong side.
I couldn't phrase it better. The precedent of Kosovo cannot be allowed to stand. The place has to be given back to its rightful owners, who will no doubt boot the Albanians when that happens, as I would in their stead.
Or in Kerry's case, the sitting President was from the wrong Party.
That's one question I would like to see Kerry answer: Why Kosovo and not Iraq?
a very good report.
