Of all the whoppers told by former President Clinton in his Chris Wallace interview, perhaps the most outrageous was his claim that he was involved in "trying to stop a genocide in Kosovo..." In fact, Clinton's bombing of the former Yugoslavia killed more people than died in this "genocide." And his policy benefited Osama bin Laden and the global Jihad.
In the year before the bombing, some 2,000 people had been killed in a civil war in Kosovo. A conservative estimate is that 6,000 were killed by U.S. and NATO bombs.
It's strange as well that Clinton complained to Wallace about the "neocons" attacking him when many of the same neocons in 1999 supported Clinton's war on Yugoslavia. The war was never approved by the U.N. or the U.S. Congress, and in fact violated the War Powers Act. The main beneficiary of the intervention was a Muslim terrorist group, the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), with links to bin Laden, who had declared war on America in 1996, bombed our embassies in Africa in 1998, and would later, of course, orchestrate 9/11.
When former CIA official Michael Scheuer says that the Clinton Administration "had eight to ten chances" to kill bin Laden and "they refused to try," he is making a statement that goes far beyond acknowledging Clinton Administration incompetence or a lack of will. The fact is that Clinton had a pro-Muslim foreign policy that actually benefited bin Laden and facilitated 9/11. Most Republicans don't mention this because too many of them were duped into backing Clinton's misguided policy in Kosovo. President Bush, then a candidate, even backed U.S. military intervention there through NATO.
[...] It is noteworthy that the CIA issued a January 2000 report that essentially whitewashed the nature of the KLA and claimed it was pro-American.

this is true.....my mistake per protocol as I've heard this before and relaxed my Proper Protocol. I've seen both, as it happens frequently, however, this is no excuse...so, thank you for reminding me.
Lemme guess - any news source reporting items not favorable to Serbia won't be considered neutral.
No dice - it is what it is, and if you don't like it, then that's something for you to come to terms with.
...Another whopper. Each new one gets bigger and stinkier. Will this man EVER stop?
There was no cleansing operation by the Serbs...as proven by court testimony and the lack of convictions for genocide. We WILL NOT LET THE GOVERNMENT AND MEDIA KEEP LYING TO THE PUBLIC..........I'm going to make this my life mission to write the truth......:) thanks to you Hoplite. No kidding.
Wow....there you go again. you are reading my mind. I was just going to write you and say....any news source reporting items not favored to the Government, left wang groups, and Clinton's lies won't be considered neutral. And, most amazing, I was also going to say, no mice, it is what is and if you don't like it then it something that you will have to cry back to your official experts to give you more BS answers that fits the spin.
Let's try "Media Cleansing: Dirty Reporting, Journalism and Tragedy in Yugoslavia". Peter Brock; everyone......for a truthful chronical about the lies the Media told to allow innocent Albanians and Serbs to be murdered by Islamist Fundies and NATO bombs......this is true. High impact statement but true. I'm getting tired of this spin and we are going to to turn up the heat. In due time this will become apparent.
You're working on denying the mass graves at Batajnica right now, remember?
I can tell it's hard for you, but try to concentrate, m'kay?
"The Serbian ethnic cleansing campaign undertaken in Bosnia is a matter of historical record, and is beyond your ability to change."
Big mistake Hopelite. Your answer gives you away. You don't give statements of fact, or bodies or debunk the documented truth tellers. Your answer is the summation of the scum that set this thing up illegally. First you make the statement of spin for cover. Then, as they so well planned by their spin, to make it a matter of historical record to justify their evil intentions for future operations. Third, you stated what the arrogance of these self rightous maggots, to rest in their laurels, believe that one, Americans will believe anything if we spin it the right way, and two; when we write these lies in the history books we can use this to brainwash future generations was our generations perpetrates more of these ops.........
I was wondering how far you went back Hoplite...and you go back quite a bit. You are the same all the way. Offering little proof except the very well constructed and documented spins. Very deep pockets..the same pockets that got Ceku pardoned. Amazing......The same pockets that all most deep six'ed the book about the 1933 Coup Attempt squashed by a Marine Corps General whose shoes these rats aren't good enough to even polish......
Anyway, your interest lies beyond that of someone doing this for a pastime. You are too dedicated and persistent with the same BS........:) You are good practice....
no hoppy, I'm working on items that you can't even imagine right now. Dealing with these are child's play. I'll get around to that when I do....right now this is just over eating a chicken leg....and drinking a beer....:))
I'm jest giting warmed up there ole hopper...ya'll know what I am uh meaning. You haven't seen nuthin yet....lolol :) and I don't mean on this forum ole boy.
From our perspective, it was a mistake. But, from the inner government's point of view, and the strategy it is working quite well and is almost going according to plan. This is the kicker.....it was not by a mistake by no stretch. It was well orchestrated and planned right down to the disinformation, exaggerations and outright lies......for several objectives.....and it's working right now. We have to put a stop to it by writing your congressman to fight against our government supporting an Independent Kosovo for one.
Really? Like who?
Mike "Imperial Hubris" Scheuer is a neo-con now?
Oh by the way.....Russia is the target and they know it already as does Serbia. This is the kicker. Clark ordered a British General to Block the Russians advance to take the Pristina Airport. The Brit General basically told him (Clark) to stuff it....he wasn't starting WWIII for him. Clark somewhere along the way, I am told was relieved of his command......for some reason I don't know for sure. But apparently warranted. Russia is the target as kosovo is designed as a chess piece to move on toward the other Russian states.
PING
No, I'd settle for stories in the IHT or the NY Times for starters on this one, since they were cheerleaders for the Kosovo intervention.
Fine, here ya go.
Now, compare that to the Serbs killed over the years by the Kosovar Albanians. Old women and old men, for starters.
Face it, Hoplite - you are allied with Islamist thugs.
Most people think of Kosovo in the past tense. Democratic critics of the Bush Administration cite Kosovo as a "good war." Allied negotiators refer to Kosovo's final status—independence in some form—as a foregone conclusion.
The Western alliance would prefer to forget the Kosovo war, having become responsible for one of the largest episodes of ethnic cleansing in the Balkans. The ninth round of U.N.-sponsored talks on Kosovo recently ended with no agreement. Observes Albert Rohan, in charge of the Vienna negotiations: "We're approaching a moment where by talking alone we won't accomplish the goal. We could talk for another ten years and not change anything."
Unfortunately, the United States and Europeans guaranteed failure by attempting to predetermine the results. The ethnic Albanians know that the West is desperate to get out. They have no reason to make any concessions beyond formalistic promises to respect the Serb minority, promises which are unlikely to be kept by them or enforced by the allies.
The Serbian government has offered everything save independence. After all, which Western government has cheerfully cut itself into pieces? Czechoslovakia begins and ends the list. Belgrade has received no reward for its concessions. Instead, Serbia is supposed to accept prospective membership in the EU as payment for services rendered.
Even as the U.S. and Europeans decided on independence, their deteriorating relationship with Russia raises the possibility of resistance by Moscow. China also has indicated disquiet at the forcible dismemberment of Serbia. If either power vetoes an allied UN resolution, the Balkans will become a global problem.
From the beginning Western officials have lived in a fantasy world. They believed that they could maintain a multi-ethnic territory after the war. It is no surprise, however, that the ethnic Albanians, after using the American-supplied air force to eject the Serbian military, saw no need to retain the Serbian population.
To the contrary, the victorious ethnic majority kicked out roughly a quarter million Serbs, Roma, Jews, and non-Albanian Muslims. The few remaining Serbs were regularly attacked. In March 2004 some 4000 Serbs were displaced as rioters destroyed homes, farms, churches, and monasteries.

Give it up, Hoplite.
Thanks guys good information.
And so are you, if you're an American, both in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's simply a case of choosing and working with the lesser of two evils in order to accomplish your policy goals.
It's a pretty strong commentary that both political parties in the United States are united in their dislike of Serb nationalists - I guess the Serbs are uniters, not dividers. LOL.
Just 'cause I can.
