A Balkan Base for Al Qaeda?

The War on Terror suffered a major blow three years before it was ever announced. It happened when the people of this democracy were misled into attacking the sovereign, emerging post-Communist democracy of Yugoslavia--over rumors of genocide and ethnic cleansing that proved false. In so doing, we put the final touch on delivering the Balkans to al Qaeda.

Today we are being asked to seal that historical blunder, whose repercussions seven years later are only escalating as those we “rescued” turn their weapons against UN and NATO forces. While NATO spends most of its time rooting out terror cells in Kosovo and Bosnia—which served as the logistics bases for the London and Madrid bombings--the 2006 deadline to complete our eagerly forgotten debacle and determine the province’s final status is fast approaching. To persuade the international community that only one final status will be acceptable, our Albanian "rescuees" have been stepping up the violence, a message to the West that it has only one possible exit strategy: grant unconditional independence--without border compromises with Serbia and without protection guarantees for what’s left of the non-Albanian minorities.

Yet another chance to thank BJ Clinton for his enduring legacy.

[unionblue83]

He has definitely followed right along in Jimmah's shoes -- spawning Islamic terror for future generations.

Agreed!!! That was such a spineless attempt then at appeasing the Islamofacists. The Serbs understood better than any what the Islamofacists understood: Those Muzzies would never respect the non-Muzzies until the Muzzies got a good butt whooping as to where there was no choices other than to live in peaces or die.

“If you break it, you fix it.” We’ve heard much of that refrain throughout our Iraq debates—including from the selfsame architects of the Kosovo offensive: Bill and Hillary Clinton, Madeleine Albright and Wesley Clark. Their prescription for fixing what they broke? Bury it.

Clark warned that “a violent collision may occur by year-end” if we don’t do what the Albanians want—and this four-star general advocated doing just that. After all, “unrest” in the region shines an unwelcome spotlight on his “successful war.” Clark even suggested pummeling the Serbs again if Belgrade got in the way; it’s easier than fighting his terrorist Albanian campaign donors.

Thus also assuring that BOTH ends of the dope pipeline into Europe, from Afghanistan into Albania through Kosovo, were securely in Muslim hands.

Thank You Mr. Clinton.

Fact is stranger than fiction. No writer from Hollywood could have ever dreamed up a plot where a President ,in the White House, sticking cigars into a young woman and beating off in a sink would attempt to stop news reports of his actions by bombing a foreign country and helping Muslim drug dealers.

[sgtbono2002]

Even to top that ,these same butt wipes who voted not to impeach this arrogant ignorant pervert who started the terror war now want to impeach President George Bush for trying to stop terror.

Truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

Expanding the Balkans ping as the Truth keeps pouring out!

We see footage of Bosnian Muslim forces destroying an Orthodox Christian church; of a Bosnian Serb being brutalized (we're spared the skull crushing that follows); and a mujahadeen persuading his Bosnian colleagues to let him kill Serb prisoners, who are soon led off and executed. Though there is ample supply of tortured-Serb footage, it doesn’t enjoy the wide circulation that the video of a Bosnian-Serb paramilitary unit killing six Bosnian Muslims got last summer. The narration continues: "There were some serious players sent to Bosnia, among them the man who planned 9/11, Khalid Sheikh Mohamed...The mujahadeen video shows their flag planted in Bosnia and speaks of spreading their jihad. ...Bosnia is a useful place to hide, plan and move. It's why some stay on." The segment opens with the sentence, "Hundreds of radical Islamic holy warriors [are] hiding in Bosnia, a decade after the end of the war." That statement underscores the West's big miscalculaton in the Balkans--that Bosnia was a self-contained war that had an end, rather than an early front in a war that was just unfolding.

A similar picture began to emerge in Kosovo, where the late Wall St. Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was uncovering that "Ethnic-Albanian militants, humanitarian organizations, NATO and the news media fed off each other to give genocide rumors credibility." The anti-Serb propaganda which misled Americans throughout the 90s and which Daniel Pearl was debunking continues to guide our perceptions and foreign policy in the Balkans today. But despite the media’s blackout on the subject of Balkans terror--including by Pearl's own Wall St. Journal--more and more Americans have been scratching their heads, wondering why we forcibly precluded the Serbs from doing in their own backyard what we’ve gone halfway around the globe to do.

[ottersnot]

Dhimmiecrats conveniently forget all about Bosnia when
they go on their anti-capitalist anti-war jihad.

It's clear we're on the wrong side in this, and it's time we all shoot the white house an email.

If we can save Muslims from Sadaam we should be ablee to save Christians from Muslims.

[Proctor]

Clinton's legacy is now 6 years into Bush's legacy.

[taxesareforever]

If we can save Muslims from Sadaam we should be ablee to save Christians from Muslims.

But that is not politically correct. Christians are not a protected entity. Muslims are.
