But Kerry may have some competition. On Memorial Day, another former Democratic presidential candidate, retired General Wesley Clark, tried to rewrite the history of the war in Kosovo in order to make himself into a great military hero. "Last week," he said, "I returned to Kosovo for the first time since I retired from military service. For me, this trip was very personal. In 1999, I commanded the NATO forces that stopped the genocide against ethnic Albanians by Slobodan Milosevic and his Serbian forces."
That sounds pretty impressive-commanding the forces that stopped genocide. Too bad it's not true.
Genocide is defined as seeking to eliminate an entire group of people. But the number of dead found in Kosovo after the war was said to be only 2,108. That was the figure given by Carla del Ponte, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, at a December 1999 press conference. But it wasn't clear they were all Kosovo Albanians. Indeed, many may have been Serbs. That's a terrible loss of life, but it's no genocide.

Bush, of course, will be the favorite target for some time to come. Typical is Frank Rich's forthcoming book about the Bush presidency, The Greatest Story Ever Sold: The Decline and Fall of Truth from 9/11 to Katrina.
That will be the media theme at least until after the November congressional elections.
Rich and his colleagues will try to make you ignore the fact that while Bush has had a policy of fighting terrorists in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, Clinton, Clark & Company had a policy of helping them gain political power through false charges of genocide.

Frank Rich is the drama queen who gives his deep thoughts on politics now as a NY TIMES columnist.
Wesley Clark and Bill Clinton are both "Rhodes scholars" and both from from Arkansas.
Wesley Clark is on the board of SOROS' International Crisis Group (ICG), which arranged the Kosovo "war" by inundating the media with false reports of of "genocide" against the Serbs.
The so-called International Court where Milosovic was "tried" is bankrolled by SOROS.
Carla del Ponte, the chief "prosecutor," is a long-time SOROS employee.
As for SOROS, the real reasons for the Kosovo debacle involving NATO (pretty broad based complicity) need to be exposed... It was not simply a "prevention of Genocide".... of muslims(?).
Wonder how the Major Donor list and Executive Membership list for ICG would stack up against teh Bilderberger Membership list?
Wonder how the Major Donor list and Executive Membership list for ICG would stack up against teh Bilderberger Membership list?
SOROS used NATO as his own private army.
He told Milosevic to give him the Trepca mining complex (to "privatize" it).
When Milosevic told him to go to hell,
he got it by flooding the media with false reports of genocide and it went from there.
I know it would include SOROS, Wesley Clark and Lani Guinier.
I saw that you guys are talking about Kosovo and I m pretty sure that most of you knows very little about Kosovo expect the guys who love to see Kosovo under Serbia occupation (I see they are pretty many here) but guys unfortunately that time is gone and will never come back so let me tell you a lot more about Kosovo and US government supporting Kosovo freedom.
In Kosovo live 90% Albanians ,7% Serbs and 3% Rome,Turkish etc
In Kosovo exists :Muslims,Christians,Orthodox,Jews
Have you ever heard about any religious problem in Kosovo?...never...because Muslims aren;t ists they live their lives when they have their freedom like every other religion or country...I am talking about Kosovo and Kosovo's people.Kosovo war was for Freedom ,Albanians in Kosovo were d every single day by Serbs..why??? Because Serbs wanted Kosovo ethniclly cleared by Albanians but they never achieved that.
Would you live under the occupation of another country? you don't have freedom,you don't have rights,you don't have school,in hospitals serbs play with your mom,sister ....would you stand that? would you stand someone who kills your father for no reason?
Albanians in Kosovo wanted freedom and they will have it soon.
Bill Clinton,Madeline Albright and Wesley Clark are three Americans that people of Kosovo will never forget and will love them forever...why?? simple reason..because they were the people who stopped criminals and helped Albanians from the massacre.You have a lot of places to read about Kosovo and Kosovo war....true sources not fake news,not politics...Albanians LOVE USA ...so don't tell lies about Kosovo Muslims because you can't prove that...don't ever talk something that you don't know....you can download a book and see who helped a lot of Jews from Holocaust when other nations didn;t like to see them link is here: http://aacl.com/index11.html
