I hate to come to the defense of Bill Clinton, but . . .

One of the dirty little secrets about that Kosovo/Serbia conflict in the late 1990s is that some of the strongest supporters of Kosovo were the same "neo-cons" who ended up in the Bush administration and orchestrated the Iraq mess.

"War on Terror," my @ss.

Nonetheless, it was Bubba’s call and he turned Kosovo into an Islamist state.

They are back at it. Pushing US intervention in Libya.

I agree with you, but in no way do I think Clinton gets a pass. The SOB was president when we bombed our former allies.

Perhaps, but this NeoCon requires an actual National Interest to be involved. Albania does not qualify in any way I can think of.

Alternatively, Libya has a plausible U.S. national interest in favor of limited (air support) intervention: Those who takeover may be grateful that we stopped Gaddafi’s aerial bombardment of unarmed civilians. That may be a good cost / benefit ratio for U.S. interests that also happens to be NeoCon-ish.

Agreed. Also the Serbs stood in the way of Bin Laden’s Afghani drug pipeline through the Balkans to Europe. Our troops need to be armed.
