Read it and weep. Notice how quiet x.42 has been recently?

>>>>>It is believed that parts of this movement later attempted to instigate and organize the Jihad, roughly translated as "struggle" or "Holy War", in the areas inhabited by ethnic Albanians, in Kosovo, Macedonia and Albania<<<<<<<<<<

Ooops. So Kosovo and Macedonia are jihad operation, not "humanitarian catastrophe" as parroted by X42 and ABC gang?

Radical Islamist terrorists could be understood. But how to understand those in the corridors of U.S. power who armed, trained and supported them diplomatically, militarily and with media coverage ?
Now, when U.S. troops in Bosnia and Kosovo are in peril, this requires immediate answer:

Who are supporters of radical islamism in military, dipomacy and intelligence community?
Who are supporters of radical islamism in media and academia?

And these were the people for whom we bombed Serbia into total destruction, no wonder Clinton is quiet.

Good post. I cannot believe the "amazement," the "wonder," and outright malevolence of the American media in their pretended surprise over the duplicity of the Muslim Bosnians and especially the Albanians.

May Bill Clinton rot in a particularly foul corner of Hell for linking our fate with these Muslim terrorists. They are part and parcel of world-wide Jihad.

You will see the proof of their treachery when we begin operations against the Taliban. The KLA will begin action against NATO, and those Taliban-linked cells in Bosnia will attempt to spread terror in Europe. And yes, again in the USA.

Passengers? :)

I'll let you know when I figure it out... (but somehow I don't think there is anything to figure out)

How many FReepers supported him? how were pro-Serbian opponents called then? didn't you wish good luck to "Patriots" that were thrown at the Belgrad from safe 500 miles away?

Get some courage and admit that Bill shouldn't be alone in that corner...

Actually the West's support of the jihadists in the Balkans is easy to understand. Our short-sighted policy makers still suffer from Cold War slavophobia, and think that being pro-Islamist everywhere except Palestine will molify the Islamic world. (I have repeatedly pointed out the universal pattern of American foreign policy: Jews trump Muslims, Muslims trump everyone else--look around the world, and until the recent UN actions in East Timor there wasn't a single counter-example. I also have the strong feeling that if the Christians of East Timor had been Orthodox rather than Roman, the Indonesians would not only still have the place, but have our blessings to keep it.)

We can pray that recent events will change our policy so that Eastern Christians can soon count on American support in opposing the Jihad. Alas, recent pronouncements from the State Dept. on Chechenya and our continued shielding of Albanian and Bosnian Islamists do not bode well. I fear it will take direct attacks on NATO troops in the Balkans by bin Laden's operatives in the Balkans to open eyes in Washington.

Thank you Clinton and all the bleeding hearts, for falling for Moslem propaganda against Serbia, and giving us a secure base for terrorists in Kosovo and Bosnia.

[vooch]

Holbrooke and his clique made a exception in this case mainly due to the huge proven offshore oil reserves East Timor has. Guess who is arranging the financing for the billions of dollars of oil drilling ?

and guess who is getting fat consulting fees for advising the "government" of East Timor for the diplomatic negotiations on defining the exact boundries of East Timor's seabed rights vis a vie Austrialia ?

Great article!! Sheds a lot of light on Islamic extremist network. One of the Islamic Aid organizations in Kosovo is linked to Bin Laden. Interesting situation for the U.S. who at the same time as the Islamic Extremists supported the KLA by providing military support and training during the Kosovo conflict. Would be interesting to see what ties will be exposed in regards to the Afghan heroin which the KLA continually ship into Europe via the Balkan road. I suspect a big shortage in the future. Will the KLA keep this association with this Islamic heroin connection? Money talks and I suspect the KLA will play both sides in order to continue to generate money for the cause but at a much higher price.

Wouldn't be at all surprised, although some people seem to think that NATO is expecting the KLA to help infiltrate the Taliban.......... have they got a shock coming.

[eniapmot]

...think that being pro-Islamist everywhere except Palestine will molify the Islamic world...

This is indeed true. And can only be explained by a combination of stupidity and liberalism.
