When is a diplomat not a diplomat?.....When you're Richard Holbrooke
Banner of Liberty ^ | 25 May 2007 | Stella L. Jatras

By now, everyone is familiar with the insensitive words uttered by Shock Jock Imus which appeared in Mary Mostert's commentary of 12 May Either Al Sharpton Should be Fired or Don Imus Should Be Re-Hired. We should also not forget what happened to comedian "Kramer," from the Seinfeld Show when he railed against two black hecklers in the audience during a performance by calling them the n-word. Just like Imus, his racist comments cost him his job.

But what happens when a U.S. diplomat shows his true character when he rails against an entire race of people during war? Not a blessed thing!

"The Vietcong were dedicated ideologues, committed to a long-term struggle. These guys [the Serbs] aren't ideologues; they're just murderous a**holes." These are not my words; it is a direct quote from one of our distinguished "diplomats." With these disgraceful racists, and reprehensible remarks made to Ted Koppel during an interview and published in The New Yorker, November 6, 1995, Richard Holbrook revealed his hatred and contempt for the Serbian people.

Holbrooke praises the communist Vietcong, who killed over 58,000 of our young troops and denigrates the brave Serbian people who fought, suffered and sacrificed as our allies during two world wars. Mr. Holbrooke is determined not only to demoralize the Serbian people, but to completely humiliate them.

It's one thing when you have comedians lose their cool, so to speak, for being stupid and having to face the consequences, but what should happen when a U.S. diplomat shows open animosity for an entire people, collectively, a people who paid an incredibly high price for being our ally? In Richard Holbrooke, we have an American "diplomat " who was supposed to be impartial while negotiating a peace treaty in Bosnia. Instead, we were given a treaty by Richard Holbrooke which enabled Bosnia to become al-Qaeda's corridor into Europe; where The Financial Times reported, "Ministry Confirms Madrid Terrorist Suspect [was] Born in Bosnia," and that the Madrid bombers were trained in Bosnia-Based al Qaeda Camps. That it is significant there is link between Bosnia and the London terrorists according to Defense & Foreign Affairs Strategic Policy of July 2005, which reported that "Forensic and other intelligence has now linked the London terrorist bombings of July 7, 2005 to terrorist support operations in Bosnia, just as the terrorist attacks of March 11, 2004, on Madrid, and September 11, 2001, on New York and Washington were later discovered to be linked to Bosnian . . . ." That report supports what Yossef Bodansky and Vaughn Forrest of the Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, House Republican Research Committee warned us as far back as September of 1992 in their report, "Iran's European Springboard?" that, "Thus Tehran and its allies are using the violence in Bosnia-Herzegovina as a springboard for the launching of a jihad in Europe."

It appears that the Balkans have become more than a springboard into Europe. The recent capture by the F.B.I. of six men arrested in a terror plot against Fort Dix should raise concerns about US and UN policies regarding Kosovo considering that four of the Muslim terrorists were ethnic Albanians, three of whom were in the United States illegally.

White House spokesman Tony Snow was quick to state that there was no direct evidence that the men arrested at Fort Dix had ties to International terrorism, although it was reported that one, Agron Abdullahu, had been a sniper for the terrorist Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). Furthermore, according to the New York Times of 9 May, "The arrests came after a 15-month investigation during which the F.B.I. and two informers who had infiltrated the group taped them training with automatic weapons in rural Pennsylvania, conducting surveillance of military bases in the Northeast, watching videos of Osama bin Laden and the 9/11 hijackers and trying to buy AK-47 assault rifles." There may not be direct evidence that the attack was ordered by al-Qaeda, but their actions and taped jihadist declarations clearly show they were acting in accordance with Osama bin Laden's call for world-wide jihad against the United States.

In other attempts to defuse the seriousness of the planned attack at Fort Dix and the connection to ethnic Albanians, the media reported that the Duka brothers were born when Debar was part of the former "Yugoslavia." By referring to the terrorists' homeland as being "Yugoslavia," was it a deliberate attempt to conjure up images of alleged Serbian atrocities to readers who know little or nothing about Yugoslavia other than the slanted news during the war in Bosnia and Kosovo?

Why the quick denial of any al-Qaeda connection? Perhaps it is because the administration does not want any bad publicity connected to ethnic Kosovo Albanians because of the effort by the US State Department and certain members of Congress to cede Kosovo, Serbia's Jerusalem, to jihadist war criminals who are today in control of that southern province of Serbia. To put it plainly, news of any ethnic Albanian ties to Islamic terrorism would weaken the case for a UN mandated grant of independence in violation of Serbia's sovereignty.

In 1999, U.S.-led NATO bombing on behalf of Kosovar Albanian Muslims killed thousands of Serbs and devastated Serbia's economy. During that same period of time CNN reported on 5 May, 1999 that Hillary Clinton welcomed the first group of some 20,000 Kosovo refugees who had been offered sanctuary at Fort Dix, New Jersey. "They were offered hot showers, meals and dry, warm beds and bused to a military base [Fort Dix] that had been transformed into a child-friendly village." Now we have ethnic Albanian Muslim terrorists whose stated goal was "to kill as many American soldiers as possible," and "to die in the name of Allah." Is this any way to repay America's generosity?

As for Richard Holbrooke? Kenneth Timmerman writes in his "U.S. Selling Out Bosnian Christians to Muslims, Serb Leader Says," of 24 May, 2007, "Richard Holbrooke, the U.S. official who negotiated the 1995 agreement, told a forum marking the 10th anniversary of the Dayton accords in November 2005 that 'among his 'mistakes' were the words, 'Republik Srpska' and called for the Serbian entity to be dissolved into Muslim Bosnia," as though 500 years of Islamic oppression were not enough.

Apparently, Mr. Holbrooke knows no bounds in his animosity towards the Serbs; his words make it clear that the Serbian people, unlike the phoenix, should not rise again from the ashes.

Stella lies and spews disinformation with the best of 'em, I'll grant you that.

And she's ignored along with the rest of 'em for exactly that reason.

I think Richard Holbrooke should return to his Nazi roots. As I always say anyone who supported the Communist in Vietnam or elsewhere is a Nazi and a child of Hitler.

You are entitled to your opinion and me to mine. History has shown us time and time again that Albanians are not to be trusted whereas Serbs have come to our aid at great personal risk in two world wars. I will trust an Orthodox Christian over any Muslim, anytime!

GtG

PS My BIL is Serbian, a little rough around the edges but if I had to go down a dark alley I can think of no one else I'd rather have at my back.

Which is fine, until the time comes when only one of our opinions is supported by the facts.

Ask one of our Orthodox Christians hereabouts how many Catholic Churches their Serbian kin destroyed in Croatia and Bosnia to see how far your trust will take you.

Care to point to specifics, or do you just confine yourself to name-calling?

Sure - the supposed ties between Bosnia and the London were based upon the explosives, which unfortunately for those pushing the Bosnia tie-in turned out to be locally manufactured by the bombers rather than imported from the Balkans, and the supposed ties between Bosnia and the Madrid bombings were based upon two seperate false claims: the first being the involvement of one Sanel Sjekirica, who was questioned by Spanish authorities about one of the Madrid bombers whom he shared an apartment with. Sanel was not involved in the plot, however, and was free to go after voluntarily travelling to Spain to assist the authorities. The second false claim originated with Dragomir Andan, the Bosnian Serb Chief of Police. When Andan couldn't back up his accusations (they were simply BS), he came up empty and as a result no longer has that job.

In 1999, U.S.-led NATO bombing on behalf of Kosovar Albanian Muslims killed thousands of Serbs and devastated Serbia's economy.

"thousands"

Some 500 odd civilians died during Allied Force. During he heyday of Milosevic's propaganda campaign, the inflated numbers were tossed around, but when it came time to prosecute NATO leaders in Belgrade's courts, Serbia's State Prosecutor cited 504 civilian deaths.

Specific enough for ya?

Stella lies and spews disinformation, as stated.

[”Holbrooke praises the communist Vietcong, who killed over 58,000 of our young troops...”]

Yeah, you can read the following excerpt from the President's 5th Anniversary 9-11 Address to the Nation:

Our enemies in Iraq are tough and they are committed

Then you can explain how the concept that acknowledging the strengths of one's enemies isn't the same as praising them managed to elude that big brain of yours.

Duh.

[”Duh.”]

Hoplite: you took me completely the wrong way (as you often do).

In other words, the point I was making was that the author was making a stupid statement. Any prudent person can stop at the point that I cited (which was),

[”Holbrooke praises the communist Vietcong, who killed over 58,000 of our young troops...”]

Who needs to read any further?...Hmmmmmm?

Or, am I the only one who has the brains to see this?

Well apparently Hoplite’s “brains” were not in use at the time of his post.

[” Well apparently Hoplite’s “brains” were not in use at the time of his post.”]

You’re right. And, notice how I subltlely trapped him.

In short, I left him with an open ended question (if you go back and look). He subsequently responded with his obvious bigotry of Serbs (that would be me, for example).

PS: I don’t care about Holbrooke’s thoughts any more than you do.

As a Jew Holbrook should know better (maybe not given that his mentor is the international pimp Soros) than to elevate the NAZI collaborators who murdered his people...and to denigrate the heroic Serbian defenders of freedom in two World wars at a great sacrifice.

Shameful SOB.

Sorry Hoppy, but you can't keep repeating something that been disproved. As I've previously pointed out to you, you attempted to blame all of the Catholic Churches destroyed by the Communists on the Serbs alone.

You can stop repeating that Big Lie now since no one is ever going to believe it.
