I’ve never understood why the US/Clinton sided with the Albanians/Muslims over the Serbs, even to this day.
Can anyone explain that to me?
I think that it was a leftover from our Cold War support for separatist Muslims who were attacking Russia; the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and all that. That was one of the reasons we were supporting radicals in Afghanistan and other places.
Short-sighted move, but then, nobody realized how dangerous this 7th century death cult could be, even in modern times. That said, I can’t see what Bush’s excuse could be now, in 2007, for supporting radical Muslims.
I think it goes something like this:
Western civlization bad. Third world lunatics good. Christians bad. Europeans bad. Asians and Africans good.
PLUS incentives from administration buddies in the “Kingdom” of Saudi Arabia. The Saudi-Oil Complex tentacles envelope BOTH political parties.
“I’ve never understood why the US/Clinton sided with the Albanians/Muslims over the Serbs, even to this day.”
Because Clinton bought into the UN spill and needed a war to change the subject in the country. Not sure why Bush has kept us in Kosovo, although I imagine there have been trade offs with a few larger Muslim countries in order to have basing rights, etc. Who knows....???
I know that is a simplistic and incomplete answer and it might be a good night to look back at the history that got us there..so I might do some digging. If I find a good article, I will ping u.

In 1995 when Clinton announced that he was sending American troops into Bosnia to support the Mohammedans against the Christian Serbs, the conservatives running for president, Pat Buchanan and Phil Gramm as well as moderate Steve Forbs opposed him. Bob Dole and the MSM supported him.
“I have no confidence in the Clinton-brokered peace deal and I will oppose sending American troops into Bosnia,” Gramm said.
Buchanan urged Republicans in Congress to oppose the war and said: “What I think would be deplorable would be for Congress to sit back, not take a stand, let the American troops be put into Bosnia and that, if some disaster occurs, say it’s Clinton’s fault, it’s Clinton’s war (and) we’re not responsible.”
The House, led by Speaker Newt Gingrich, passed a resolution stating that the United States should not send, or even pledge, American peacekeepers without permission from Congress.
Duke Cunningham said Clinton’s pledge to send our troops to Bosnia: “This is Afghanistan with trees,” (Referring to the Soviet war not the current one.)
Toby Roth, said: “It is easy to get involved in a war, but it’s very difficult to extricate yourself.”
Clinton and Secretary of State Warren Christopher argued against even bringing the resolution up for a vote. The MSM and the leftist in Congress argued that Clinton was in charge of foreign policy and as Commander in Chief, could do as he pleased.
Lee H. Hamilton said the resolution raised “very grave Constitutional issues” and would “prevent the President from acting as commander-in-chief.”.
Steny Hoyer said: “If Congress is going to be there at the crash landing, Congress should be there at the takeoff”. But refused to go against Clinton and the Party leaders and support the resolution.
Now because of the resolution, and because conservatives were against the war, the MSM went into full spin mode to back Clinton and going to war in Bosnia. Because they couldn’t manufacture a national interest in getting involved in a war we had no national interest in, started to demonize the Serbs to justify the war.
When the fighting shifted to Kosovo, the Clintons, the knee pad MSM and the leftist in Congress already were cheerleading for the Mohammedans and escalated their demonization of, and lies about, the Serbs.
Remember that Clinton postponed the bombing of Serbia to fight impeachment, although he had troops on the ground fighting in several places over there. After the scumbags in the Senate refused to convict Clinton, he was riding high and the demoralized conservatives in the House did nothing to oppose that criminal act.
When the leftists need a scapegoat or a boogey man they always choose the Christians if there is a choice. That’s why they supported the Mohammedans against the Se
