US Accused of Siding With 'Criminals and Jihadists' in Kosovo

A prominent Serbian Orthodox bishop Thursday said the U.S. was allowing Islamic extremists to wage war on Christians in Kosovo by deciding not to oppose Kosovo's independence.

Kosovo is an autonomous province in Serbia with a population of about 2 million, most who are ethnic Albanian and Muslim. It is currently administered by the United Nations Interim Administrative Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), but negotiations which began this year are expected to eventually result in independence for the province.

However, Dr. Artemije Radosavljevic on Thursday issued a warning about the prospect of and independent Kosovo.

"At a time when America is leading the free world in a global struggle against jihad terror, Kosovo-Metohija must not continue to be an exception, where for reasons we do not understand, American officials have taken the side of the criminals and jihadists," Artemije said during a news conference in Washington, D.C.

Ramsey Clark is not the issue nor the topic.
I can't stand Ramsey Clark, but either can I stand BS.

The NATO mission in Kosovo was a Clinton distraction to
confound his Monica impeachment problems.

Kosovo was a part of sovereign Serbia and shouldn't
have been Clinton's goat. It is now on the verge of
becoming an Islamic stronghold in the Balkans, all
because of the meddling of the United States and.
NATO. Makes no sense to fight in a terrorist war
in Afghanistan and Iraq, then hand over Kosovo to
to Islamofacists.

 

[Hoplite]

If the K-Albanians are Islamofascists, then so too are the Kabul and Badhdad regimes.

You got an actual point, or are you merely going to regurgitate mindless Serbian PR?

[Smartass]

You're all mixed up, and all over the map. You either don't understand the subject matter, and/or are obviously way over your head discussing intelligently with people that do.   This isn't about Ramsey Clark, Afghanistan, or Iraq. Islamofacists are in all three countries. That's not the question, nor the answers being asked.

FOCUS ON THE TOPIC TITLED: .
" US Accused of Siding With 'Criminals and Jihadists' in Kosovo.

I don't regurgitate mindless Serbian PR.   I present facts only, of which you can't, or haven't done yet.   Read the researched material presented on the thread, and accept it or reject it.   I'm not going to attempt to argue to change you, or anyone else.

My mind is clear and has been historically made up since the thirteenth century.   If those aren’t Jihadists burning all those Christian Churches and Monasteries in Kosovo, then who is, and who is siding with them?

Prove the posted material wrong, then we'll continue?
I'll be waiting.

 

[Hoplite]

I'll be waiting.

Have fun.

[Smartass]

I knew you didn't have it...jedi govno!!!

[Banat]

"Kosova" is the bastardized version of the Serbian name (Kosovo & Metohia). The word has absolutely no meaning in Albanian, whereas Kosovo (in Serbian) means "(a) field of blackbirds" (stemming from "kos", or blackbird).

Metohia has Greek roots and it roughly means "church land/estate/property." It's no wonder the MSM has never used the word. Metohia takes up roughly half of the province and is private property of the Serbian Orthodox Church. Needless to say, it's been taken away from the SOC and handed over to the Jihadi savages.

[Amelia]

Some of us have been saying this since Clinton invaded over there.

[Amelia]

I thought that this was an endeavor that the UN supported.

I think Clinton actually got NATO support on this one, rather than appealing to the UN. That's if I remember correctly.

The UN might have gone in later.

Kosovo War Was Over Oil!

The recent U.S.-led NATO aerial slaughter in the Balkans proves once again that imperialism always leads to war. Clinton, Blair, and other NATO bosses said they were bombing Yugoslavia for "humanitarian" reasons. This was a Big Lie worthy of Hitler. The humanitarian hype about saving Kosovar Albanian refugees was a disgusting, cynical cover for the war’s true motives.

The war was primarily a struggle for control of the potential profit bonanza from oil in the Caspian Sea region. On a shaky, temporary basis, it united the imperialists of Western Europe and their U.S. rivals against Milosevic. Competing factions of the U.S. ruling class, fresh from their Clinton impeachment brawl, also briefly got together to swat him down. In neither case did this unity last. U.S. imperialism may have shown that it can still literally get away with murder in defense of its profit interests. It continues to dominate the international scene. On the other hand, the latest Balkan war also sharpened every major contradiction in the world and deepened the main splits among U.S. bosses. It settled nothing. On the contrary: far wider and bloodier oil wars are in the cards, and a brutal struggle is brewing among factions of U.S. rulers over control of state power.

Exxon Rivals Dive Into the Caspian

However, the Rockefeller companies can no longer dictate as absolutely as they once did. The race for Caspian oil provides a case in point. When the Soviet Union broke up in the 1990s, Rockefeller competitors began a stampede for alternate sources near and beneath the Caspian Sea. Leading the charge were British Petroleum (BP) and Amoco (which merged in 1998) and the Russian giant Lukoil. However, getting oil from the Caspian to market isn’t easy. The Caspian is landlocked, and therefore oil companies and governments have woven a tangled web of competing pipelines.

The Balkans are crucial to these pipelines because oil destined for Western Europe must pass through them at one point or another. In early 1997, BP and the Texas Halliburton Company proposed a pipeline that would go from Burgas in Bulgaria through Skopje in Macedonia (15 miles from Kosovo) to Vlore, a port in Albania. It was to carry 750,00 barrels of BP Amoco crude to European Union markets.

The Rockefeller oil moguls consider the Balkans strategic for different reasons. Exxon-Mobil has no pipelines of its own there. But they certainly don’t want to lose the rich European market to BP Amoco or anyone else. They therefore have a strategic stake in Caspian-related developments. Geography also makes the Balkan region a key stepping-stone to the Rockefeller Middle Eastern interests. So the main wing of U.S. bosses has an interest in keeping Balkan countries divided, weak, and pro-U.S. The first Rockefeller plan for the former Yugoslavia set up its provinces in the early 1990s as "autonomous" regions and put local tyrants in charge of each.

The oil pipelines could only be a side reason and not the necessarily the main one(s). There were many reasons for the attack and the country was destroyed along old faultlines which were based on history of the region, earlier wars and treaties and ethnic divisions. But since we are on pipelines, there is a little recent news on the AMBO (Albania-Macedonia-Bulgaria Oil) pipeline:

Vecer: Talks will be Held in Bulgaria for AMBO Pipeline

22 July 2006 | 13:12 | FOCUS News Agency

Skopje. The Macedonian Minister of Economy Fatmir Besimi will take part in talks for building of Albanian Macedonian Bulgarian Oil Corporation (AMBO) pipeline. The talks will take place in Bulgaria next week, the Macedonian Vecer newspaper reports. The main topic of Besimis’ talks with Bulgarian, Albanian representatives and the US corporation AMBO will be the track on which the pipeline from Burgas to Vlora is to pass. Last month the talks in Sofia were interrupted since the Bulgarian and the Albanian representatives demanded funds beforehand from the US investor for realization of the project. Beside the three Balkan countries, Europe and USA are also demonstrating interest to the building of the pipeline. According to evaluations Macedonia will get some USD 30 million, the newspaper reports.

Another botched war by Maddie the Mad Bomber! The best administration the terrorists ever had. One more problem left for Bush to clean up while they complain.

The article is from a communist website, so take it for what it is. But it does have some juicy info on who's who in the oil wars.

[Bokababe]

Here's another Kosovo "oil connection" story from a little better site (maybe). The Kosovo section is about 1/3 of the way down the page : http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=+SC20050730&articleId=762

I'm glad you can laugh, when 3,000 Serbs have been murdered and many innocent Serbs are Suffering, losing homes even now due to our supporting and promoting, no kidding, Hitlers plan for the Balkans. The Albanians I know are pissed that I have taken this stand, but, they don't see that if and when Kosovo gets independence the Mafia will have it's own state, there will be no change in the employment status as this is their main concern across the board and internationals will become targets more so in the future. The Moderate Albanians will see more drugs and human trafficking than they thought possible and the Serbian authorities won't be able to control it......there will be another war.....

So, Hopeless, laugh for now......as it's sad as to your true intention.

[tgambill]

"Al Qaida's Bosnian foray was a failure as their ideology was incompatible with the locals, and no subsequent need to re-examine your erroneous claim that the Bosnians are jihadis and more a threat to American interests than Milosevic was."


****this is a smoke screen. Al Qaida was a failure because of the Balkan mentality. Al Qaida would not have been a problem either in Bosnia, Croatia or Kosovo. I know this as a fact. The Majority of K-Albanians confirmed for me that they did not trust the Imams from Saudi. The charities, (three based with Al Qaida), had to pay the poorer Albanians just to practice the Saudi style of Islam. More than once, Imams were expelled or thrown out of Mosques or homes for their promotion of extreme Islamic practices....which is typical in the ME. Bosnia was the same way.....so, this reasoning is political BS....and justification for us to destablize the Balkans.....

The threat of Jihadist is more of a threat than the Serbs would ever be...The Albanians did as a matter of history, side with Hitler against the Serbs in WWII. The Serbs were and are on our side. I don't think you've ever heard of the 911 attack....or, the Hamas attack in 2004 against the American Police detail in Kosovo, or the planned attack of the Bondsteel dining facility that was caught in time. NOT ONCE have Serbs planned any attacks against Americans after the pull out. However, we bombed the hell out of them and I would expect them to fight back.....We also bombed Albanians, Serbs, Roma and animals and whatever else the ill conceived Balkan intervention could find.

[tgambill]

"Beating the crap out of Serbia, then appeasing the Islamofacists in Kosovo will never work in the Balkans."

***** I'm afraid that it is working according to plan. This is the sad part. The plan was to keep conflict in the region to gain control for a bigger agenda. It has worked beautifully. Has it worked to create peace, :)) hardly...Will there more than likely be another war, including Macedonia and Southern Presevo.....more than likely yes......Will the Mafia have a state of their own...yes. they already have.

[dennisw]

Technically it was UN-NATO cooperation. The end result is that it helped Jihadists to gain their countries in Balkans and hence in Europe

If this all happened today the US/NATO would not have bombed and attacked Serbia. Much has been learned about Islam since then. Turkey can't even get into the EU.

[tgambill]

This is the first phase of understanding this situation. It goes back to 1948 following Hitlers overall plan to take the Balkans and disable the communist movement.

[kronos77]

Yes, Hitlers plan were activatet, or simply continued. Olso one view on Yugoslavia wars is that Yugoslavia actually never exited cold war. Plans for breaking of Yugoslavia and Serbia also existed for Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, those were all sets of planes. It is lucky for other countries that were out of focus of Clintonians, and they got their way out of cold war.
Timeline for Yugoslav crissis is simly continuation of cold war, it started in Slovenia in june 1991, while USSR still existed, and Bosnian war started in 1992, while USSR broke down, Europe and world exited cold war, but in Yugoslavia war started. Simply continuation of cold war, and you might see who are the generals in EU, NATO and USA that led war against Yugoslavia, they were old-school (communism is greatest enemy) generals. During destruction of Yugoslavia, Islam rose as new greatest enemy, and war mashinery was to involved to stop. As if someone wanted to stop.

[Kenny Bunk]

It turns out that most of what he [Milosevic] was accused of didn't happen.

Enough happened to enable Ruder and Finn, paid for with Saudi money, to craft a PR campaign that turned the Albanians of the KLA from the bloodthirsty bandits described in the NYT of the 80's into freedom fighters, and our allies. It also turned the Bosnians into victims, when in fact these slick euro-jihadists committed the overwhelming number of the undoubted atrocities that marked the conflict.

By focusing on what the Serbians did, and ignoring what the Muslims did, Ruder and Finn managed a PR coup that got NATO involved in a US-led coalition that bombed Serbia back at least a century.

There are no saints in the Balkans, least of all the Serbs. But there are no bigger devils than the Muslims, whom our misguided policies have empowered, and emboldened to widen their power in Europe.

And who is there to correct these policies? The Russians.
