BBC Admits Pamela Geller Was Right All Along (Bill Clinton aided and abetted Bosnian Islamic Jihad)

For years I have been saying it: Most Americans still don’t know or understand the implications of America’s support of the jihad in Europe, but that’s exactly what Bill Clinton’s intervention in the Balkans was. Clinton sent American soldiers to fight alongside Bosnian mujahedeen against the Serb Christians in the Bosnia war. The Democrats aligned with the jihad then and the Democrats align with the jihad now, despite the thousands of Americans slaughtered at their hand.

Here is yet more of the unending poisonous yield of Clinton’s vicious ill-conceived war. I continue to take heat for my support of the Serbs (Christians) in Clinton’s Bosnian misadventure. We were on the wrong side in that war, and the consequences of Clinton’s perfidy continue to reverberate in that region. I’ve been excoriated for saying this — but now even the BBC has to admit that the position I have taken was right all along, although of course they’d rather take the gaspipe than admit that their stance on Bosnia (and on me) has been drastically wrongheaded all these years.

“Bosnia: The cradle of modern jihadism?,” by Mark Urban, BBC , 2 July 2015

Back in the 1990s something happened in central Bosnia-Herzegovina that inspired people to this day and helps explain why that country now has more men fighting in Syria and Iraq (over 300), as a proportion of its population, than most in Europe.

The formation of a “Mujahideen Battalion” in 1992, composed mainly of Arab volunteers in central Bosnia, was a landmark. Today the dynamic of jihad has been reversed and it is Bosnians who are travelling to Arab lands.

Obama makes Clinton look like a choir boy.

Actually, it was less Reagan who armed them than Charlie Wilson and the Saudis. And in the context of a global struggle against a brutally totalitarian state with global ambitions heavily armed with thermonuclear weapons, one can understand using whatever allies were at hand at the time. Forgetting/ignoring/being ignorant of the context of the Cold War must not be allowed or allowable.

Bin Laden made a point of not accepting US aid. Clinton later abandoned Massoud to go instead with the “strong horse” Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. In spite of this Massoud remained true blue until al Qaeda assassinated him just days before 9/11, while Hekmatyar later turned and joined with al Qaeda.

Actually, Hekmatyar didn't "turn", he was always anti-American and anti-Western. There were videos at the time of him addressing his troops wherein he told them that "we will use the Americans' weapons against our enemies here, then will will use them against the Americans themselves". He was merely practicing Taqiyah (the Islamic holy sanctioned practice of lying to infidels) when he claimed to be our ally.

Clinton sent American soldiers to fight alongside Bosnian mujahedeen against the Serb Christians in the Bosnia war.

That's news to me. Clinton did send an assessment team to determine how the U.S. could develop a train and equip program for the Bosnian Federation (Bosnian Croats and Bosnian muslims). The Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff refused to send soldiers given the plans to enforce the Dayton Accords. A team of retired army officers were sent instead. I was one of that team.

The plan was forced on Clinton by Senator Bob Dole who believed that the best chance for peace in the Balkans was to ensure military parity between the Serbs and the Croat/Bosniac federation. When I visited the 7th Muslim Brigade in Zenica in November 1994, the White House was very interested what they were doing as no one had seen them or talked to. The article is a pretty accurate of that group. The training program that was executed by contractors. The Army mission in Bosnia was enforcement of the Dayton Accords and did not begin until after the war ended.

My takeaway of my time in Bosnia was that it very hard to find any good guys on any of the sides.

At that time taking down the USSR was more important. The ball was dropped in future administrations when we didn’t respond to Islamic terrorist strikes forcefully.

AND a true patriot!

And my take is that the retired Army officers who took on that role were soulless mercenaries doing it for the money and not for the honor of their uniforms, the righteousness of their cause, not even for pragmatism and certainly not because they were ordered to fight an unjust war.

(One of my very best friends from the army stayed in and finally joined you, in his words "helping the KLA"; Ms. Norton still keeps him on the Christmas card list thinking I'll change my mind...no luck so far.)

I hope that you find happiness in your profound ignorance, stay that way.

The Serbs stomped the death out of that scum. Every step of the way the crushed them the dust, and they were right to do so.
