U.S. intelligence officials are investigating ties between the terrorists who carried out suicide airliner attacks and associates of Osama bin Laden based in Albania.

The connections were described as support for the terrorist operation to hijack U.S. commercial jetliners and crash them into the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, according to U.S. intelligence officials.

I read that the CIA and the FBI knew that two of the Islamic skyjackers that were on their watch list were in the USA during Clinton's administration. Sloppy follow up or a quid pro quo with Bin Ladin due to his aid in supplying weapons and fighters for Bosnian and Albanian and Chechen Muslim fighters?

I gave you a friendly warning last Tuesday to find a deep hole and go hide in it for a long, long time. I see that you did not heed it. So much the worse for you!!!

The "slavs" (as you call them) and us Americans have had the same REAL enemy for a long, long time--the muslim supremacists, working for muslim world domination!! The vast majority of the American people are waking from their long slumber to realize that fact. Very, very soon, any politician who pushes New World Order schemes involving collaboration with muslim supremacists and their terrorist thugs like the UCK will be TOAST!!!!

This is not over yet--not by a long shot. Every week, things will get worse and worse around here for muslim extremists, muslim fifth columnists, muslim shills, and muslim sympathizers. And even an ATTEMPT at another terrorist atrocity will make things get much, much worse for them even faster!!!!

By the way, you can call "Slavic symapthizers" like me by the name that really stands for the reason why we are pro-Serbian, etc.---CHRISTIANS!!!!

So Hoplite refuses to accept even the slightest connection between the humanitarian warriors funding, training, & support for Bin Laden's Mujhadeen in Bosnia & in Kosovo and the fact that these very same Muja were able to murder 5,000 Americans.

Humanitarian Warriors......tell my missing friends...http://www222.pair.com/dfbacon/wtc.html........that it was worth them losing their lives to occupy Bosnia, Kosovo, and Macedonia.......please explain to the stunned people all over my city looking at taped up photos of lost loved ones......

Humanitarian Warriors, your reckless amatuerish meddling has directly led to the deaths of 5,000 Americans......please tell us why it was necessary ?

As I said on another thread, Rivera was saying that the US should ask their real pals "The KLA," for help, he then said the KLA were the good true muslims, whom the US and NATO helped fight their enemies............ couldn't believe what I was hearing.

I was speaking of the oil pipeline, that was one of the major reasons that Clinton fought the war in Kosovo, to provide an endless supply of non-OPEC oil to Europe. It is probably one of the reasons that BP was donating to the DNC (not the GOP), as well.

>>>...and that the KLA's liberation of the Tetovo Republic has greatly increased the Southern security perimeter for this encampment.<<<

Right! The Albanian narco-terrorists represent the greatest threat to Camp Bondsteel.

So, does Osama let you put on the kneepads first like Clinton did?

So now we are to believe that the US happily bombed Serbia for the sole purpose of getting on the KLA's good side. ?

"So if we find out that the U.S. has harbored terrorists...does that mean we bomb ourselves?" No, but the start has to be making sure the collaborators in positions of power and or that have recieved campaign money from any connected group does not sit on any intelligence committee. Check their stock holdings. Implant them with micro chips, etc...

If their was ever a group on earth that would have reason to hate the USA it's the Serbians. But their is no chance (none, zero, zilch) that a group of Serbs would ever even consider committing the mass murder of innocent men women and children through some kind of terrorist act like we witnessed a week ago. Why is that? It must be their Christian religion. I can't think of a single other reason. Muslims on the other hand ...

P.S. I know you feel like what we did to you was an act of terrorism, but please reconsider. After all we have never considered the actions of the Empire of Japan at Pearl Harbor an act of terrorism, even though 68 civilians were killed in less than 2 hrs. And they never gave any warnings of when or where. I don't blame you for your anger, I am with you, but please don't equate our military men with the murderers who's sole purpose was to kill as many innocent civilians as they could to prove some deranged point.

Thanks for listening.

Does not .ORG means a government-sponsored domain?

No, it doesn't.

How in the world can killing a bunch of people on behalf of Muslims lead to Muslims hating us? If we would have helped the good people of Serbia I could see your point.

How could arming them have led to this? Did we supply them with box cutting knives?

If we stayed out of the whole mess, as we should have, the Muslim world would've been pissed at the US for standing by and allowing the "ethnic cleansing" of Muslims.

I really don't understand the connection.

#29: So you're into bombing civilians to punish the actions of a few or the fact that you don't like what their government is doing?! That argument is used by terrorists, not 'democratic' nations.

Never mind the fact that Nato governments were quite clear that killings had been carried out in equal proportion by the KLA and Serbian security forces and police before Nato's intervention. It was a low level civil war and diplomacy was still in progress to sort things out when Half-bright decided to bomb.

You can no longer support terrorist activities such as bombing civilians and supporting terrorist groups in this new war against terrorism, Hoplite. You are now on the wrong side. About bloody time. I was getting sick of fools like you thinking that it was acceptable to murder and terrorise civilians.
