Kosovo: Clinton Lied, People Died

Funny how the NY Times and other liberal organs never talk about Kosovo. Why is that?

[TexasCajun]

Didn't Slick put America on the side of radical muslims in Kosovo?

[Paradox]

Thanks for this post, I had been thinking about this point exactly, and was readying it for use in my debates with Liberals. I was not sure of this tactic, but this article pretty much confirms what I have been thinking the last couple of years.

Does anyone recall how many civilians the bombings killed?

Given to excessive and often trivial or rambling talk; tiresomely talkative.

Wordy and rambling: a garrulous speech.

[Mr. K]

didnt he also bomb a chinese embassy too?

[SF Republican]

Is it my imagination or has the Bush Lied BS kind of quietened down a bit the last couple of weeks?

[Hoplite]

The latest evidence suggests that fewer than 3,000 Kosovars were murdered

The recoveries of K-Albanians from the Serbian MUP grounds at Batajnica make any efforts to diminish the number of K-Albanian victims moot - Slobo's regime was murderous, and lost it's mandate to govern non-Serbs by the treatment it meted out to them, and that loss of mandate isn't going to be reversed in Kosovo by any American administration, no matter how hard the Serbs or their allies try to change it.

You'll note that we're in year 5 of the Bush administration, and our recent diplomatic moves in the region, aiming to finish our clean-ups of Milosevic's Bosnia and Kosovo messes, are highly unfavorable to the Serb nationalist interest.

So if taking out their angst on Clinton while we finish the job works for Serbia's dead enders and their proxies, more power to 'em.

They swept the entire war under the rug because after 9/11 it is hard to demonize Milosevic who reacted to a Muslim invasion against Christian Serbs.

We hired bin Laden to provide the ground troops for the Islamic jihad against the Christian Serbs. We have created a terrorist Muslim European homeland.

When we pull out of Iraq, the jihadies will head west to finish the job in the Balkans.

I believe there are many European leaders who realize that ultimately a Milosevic solution will be required to save their continent and this is why there is no longer much desire to convict Milosevic for doing what they will be required to do in the future.

So Milocevich was an "imminent" threat to America, possessed WMD and the whole military operation was authorized by the UN, right?

[Hoplite]

No, he was a brutal dictator who ignored warnings from two successive American administrations that if he continued his course of action, we'd bomb the snot out of him.

Which is exactly what we wound up doing in 1999.

[Gandalf_The_Gray]

And what, pray tell, was clinton's exit strategy?

Inquiring minds want to know.

So why don't the Dems apply the same criteria to this war as they do to the Iraq war. Their criticism of the motives for the Iraq war sounds hollow because of this. Saddam was a brutal dictator who ignored warnings from successive US administrations and the UNSC (17 resolutions)and we bombed the snot out of him. How is it different?

"And Kennedy later intoned on the Senate floor, "Before the war, week after week after week after week, we were told lie after lie after lie after lie."
Then Teddy boy work up and realized it was he was lying week after week.
Of course, he wont admit it. Heck, that would be like calling the police after you drove your car in a lake with a woman drown in the back seat - and we know his history on that score.

"So Milocevich was an "imminent" threat to America, possessed WMD and the whole military operation was authorized by the UN, right?"

No, the war in Kosovo was spilling into Albania and was becoming a threat to the stability of the region, which DOES border two NATO members, Greece and Italy.

Dunno. Don't care. I'm about as interested in Democratic posturing on Iraq as I am Clinton era Republican posturing on the Balkans - it's all for naught as soon as power changes hands and a realistic policy has to be substituted for opportunistic rhetoric.

[Mi-kha-el]

Saddam was spilling into the entire Middle East which contains huge oil resources. Imagine Saddam sitting on Saudi, Kuwaiti and other ...aiti... oil.

"And what, pray tell, was clinton's exit strategy?"

Hand it off to Bush.

Worked pretty good too!

Once again, any current administration will not openly bad-mouth the previous administration's screw ups unless that was the primary focus of their campaign. The worse the screw up the greater effort to make it go away or appear otherwise. I'm firmly convinced that that should have been Reagan's 12th commandment because it seems to be an absolute of American politics.

[Mi-kha-el]

And today, Kosovo is a cradle of peace and stability.
