  1. Excellent post AAA, Its pretty ironic that the Clinton apologists seem to omit the fact that the US DID NOT have UN approval, the war didn't pass the "global test" as John Kerry would have said, but still probably happily supported and justified at the time. Oh and all those MASS GRAVES they found . . . Genocide for sure . . .

  2. So you're saying that the bombing was to stop Serbs from getting control of Kosovo?

    But those maps you posted show that Kosovo was always a part of Serbia.

    What the bombing was really about was that Serbs shouldn't be able to exercise authority on their own sovereign territory, even when there is a fully armed rebel army operating on Serb soil.

    That's Clintonism for you.

  3. You obviously didn't talk to any Orthodox, then.

    As for Clinton, the Serbs were villains par excellence - White, Christian and at war with the Muslim "Other". You couldn't ask for a better setup for Clinton to play out his liberal fantasies.

  4. People should do a little research on the subject. It's very interesting to see what a disaster it was and is. The Iranian connection, the KLA being nothing more than a terrorist, gun running, drug dealing, human trafficing bunch of criminals.

    The muslim population tried the same thing in Bulgaria shortly after Kosovo was handed over to the KLA. The Bulgarians smartly just said we will destroy you and that idea quickly faded away.
