Subject: US Media Hypocrisy over Iraq - Clinton supported Islamist Al Qaeda terrorists in Kosovo and Bosnia!
anti-globalist    1/1/2006 12:42:44 AM
The Liberal/Leftist leaning US corporate media failed to tell the facts about the Clinton/NATO bombing campaign against Serbia and his alliance with Islamist Al Qaeda linked terrorists in Kosovo & Bosnia.

The US corporate media deliberately engaged in a campaign of obfuscation - as did the Clinton White House, Pentagon and State Department- before, during, and after the bombing of Serbia -and still does so to this very day. I found out too late from Washington Post reporter, Michael Dobbs, speaking to the World Affairs Council, that the Pentagon deliberately bombed civilians in an effort to sap the morale of the people, as was revealed by Washington-based O'Dwyers PR report - but NOT CNN,CBS,ABC,NBC,NYT,WP etc. Available at: link

The European media (especially the Spanish media)were not blindly following what their governments were alleging, unlike most of the US media, which regurgitated State Department and Pentagon press releases almost word for word. Compare this to the US media's current anti-war/anti-Bush stance [apart from the notable exception of Rupert Murdoch's Fox network]on Iraq.

Nobody in their right mind would want to defend ethnic cleansing or genocide, and it's pretty obvious that anyone who attempts to expose Clinton's and NATO leaders' war crimes in the Balkans will be forced to go on the defensive, as they will inevitably be accused of precisely just that - the same old "are you still beating your wife?" tar-baby technique of character assassination. However, the illegality of the bombing, the non-sensical arguments used to support it, and the evidence of NATO leaders' war crimes - including that of Bill Clinton and his accomplice Madeleine Albright - is indisputable.
But Clinton NEVER got condemned for his illegal war on any of the above points by the fawning US Liberal/Leftist media.

Unlike the European public back in 1999, the truth I did NOT learn from the US media (until it was way too late) was this:

The entire basis and justification given by Clinton/Albright for the bombing of Milosevic's Yugoslavia - that it was a "humanitarian intervention" to stop "Milosevic's dream of a Greater Serbia" - was a complete and TOTAL LIE. Sound far fetched? Not if you probe a little.

Clinton was desperate to take the burgeoning Monica Lewinsky/Paula Jones/Kathleen Willey sex scandals off the front pages, along with covering up the 700 page Cox report into the White House-linked Chinese nuclear spying, so in true "Wag The Dog" style, cooked up a war in some foreign country; in a province with a name that most Americans would have difficulty pronouncing let alone spelling or finding on a map.

The idea that Clinton or his wife Hillary or Madeleine Albright (Meddlin' Halfbright as she is known to some in the States) actually cared about the rights of Albanian Kosovars is really a SICK joke. Clinton could care less about the Albanians and quite frankly this enormous lie must be exposed at all costs, for the sake of not just future generations of Americans, but for the sake of freedom loving people the world over.

1) The reason given by the Clinton Administration and NATO leaders that Milosevic's Serbia was "the aggressor" and that "Serbia's Milosevic is trying to ethnically cleanse all of the Albanian Kosovars out of Kosovo" and that we had no choice but to bomb Serbia back to the Stone Age, has now been exposed as PURE HOGWASH! If you doubt this, read the following article by John Xiros Cooper, "German Foreign Office inadvertently casts doubt on NATO humanitarian role" at:
link


Further verification of the above can be found in the article by Canadian Professor Michel Chossudovsky in his article "Cooking the books-NATO's ethnic cleansing claims challenged" at: link


In fact the KLA was not some army of "guerrillas" or "freedom fighters" as we were endlessly told, but was in fact a gang of thugs trained in camps run by Osama bin Laden - a terrorist network responsible for terrorizing both Albanians and Serbs alike- in fact anyone who resisted or opposed their campaign of assassination,murder,drug-trafficking,child prostitution and extortion throughout Kosovo and the rest of Europe.

Confidential internal documents of the German Foreign Ministry [hardly a pro-Serb source] in early 1999 prove that there NEVER was any campaign to drive out the entire Albanian population of Kosovo,as claimed by Clinton and NATO, but concluded that the campaign was clearly aimed at crushing the activities of the bin Laden trained KLA in Kosovo.


2) The bombing was ILLEGAL under international law - as was the use of radioactive depleted uranium shells and cluster bombs against the civilian population - both Serb and Albanian. Funny how the US media has been screaming at the top of their lungs about the "illegality" of the Iraq war yet remained,for the most part, completely silent about the illegality of the Clinton/Albright attack on Serbia. See for example the article by Kate Hudson in the English 'Guardian' paper (hardly a pro-Serb news source)at: link

3) The bombing of civilians -Albanian and Serbian alike- throughout Serbia, Montenegro, and Kosovo province, under the command of the Clinton fawning NATO SACEUR General, Wesley Clark - constituted a clear cut case of war crimes under international law. Regardless of the preposterous claims made by the Pentagon and NATO at the time, that "missiles and bombs missed their intended targets and flew into civilian areas by accident"; claims which, even if they were true, would not negate the fact that these incidents would still constitute war crimes under international law and certainly could NOT be used as an excuse to escape war crimes charges. NONE of this was ever mentioned even ONCE by the US media. So much for the US media's "impartiality" - compare it to its current hysterical condemnation of Bush over Abu Ghraib, Guantanomo Bay, Fallujah, etc.

Unfortunately, the fact of the matter is that under Clinton's orders, the Pentagon and NATO deliberately attacked civilian targets - with weapons banned under the Geneva Convention - and knowingly committed war crimes as a result. See for example an article by former Nuremberg prosecutor, Walter J. Rockler, "WAR CRIMES LAW APPLIES TO U.S. TOO" at: link

Pentagon/NATO claims of "regrettable incidents of collateral damage" were simply a smokescreen intended to dupe the public and disguise the deliberate bombing of civilians.See the article by Jose Luis Morales in the Spanish weekly "Articulo 20" of June 14 1999, "Spanish Fighter Pilots Admit NATO Purposely Attacks Civilian Targets" at:
link

Also, for further proof of the above, read the article by Jared Israel and Professor Francisco Gil-White: "How the Pentagon Unwittingly Admitted NATO Leaders are Guilty of War Crimes against Yugoslavia" at: link Also for articles documenting Clinton's ties to the KLA and ipso facto al Qaeda, check out: link as well as link [from the International Strategic Studies website, link Here is an excerpt from the ISSA article:
"Little wonder that numerous US policy analysts, even those who are hostile to Yugoslavia as a basic stance, are extremely uncomfortable with the Clinton Administration's close ties with the KLA.
There is no doubt that the involvement of the two brothers al-Zawahiri in the two movements is not coincidental. Ben Works, director of the Strategic Research Institute of the US, noted: "There's no doubt that bin Laden's people have been in Kosovo helping to arm, equip and train the KLA. . . . The [US] Administration's policy in Kosovo is to help bin Laden. It almost seems as if the Clinton Administration's policy is to guarantee more terrorism."

Noted strategic analyst and columnist, former US Army Colonel Harry Summers, said on August 12, 1998, that in Kosovo, the US found itself "championing the very Islamic fundamentalist terrorist groups who are our mortal enemies elsewhere".

Well, what was the White House-directed Pentagon/NATO response to the exposure of these Clinton/Albright inspired war crimes on Serbian Television? Simple really: KILL all the journalists exposing the Clinton/NATO crimes by blowing up the TV studio building with a cruise missile, then say that we had no choice coz those real bad guys - you know, ?the Serbs? - were prolonging the "war" by spreading "inflammatory propaganda"!!

4)When the Clinton/NATO bombing campaign ceased, and hundreds of teams of forensic investigators - including the FBI - combed the areas of Kosovo for months for evidence of the "systematic murder of thousands of Albanian Kosovars dumped in mass graves", not only did the teams in question find NO mass graves, but the incessant claims made by State Department spokesman Jamie Rubin (husband of CNN's Christiane Amanpour - well known for her false and biased reporting on Bosnia) of "compelling evidence of Serb atrocities", Rubin FAILED to produce a shred of evidence to substantiate his claims - but not to worry, since the Leftist/Liberal media came to the rescue with oft-repeated harrowing stories of "a deliberate policy of genocide perpetrated by Milosevic's forces" and that "Serbs were guilty of atrocities like torture and mutilation of thousands of civilians".

These US corporate media allegations were later on revealed to be a complete and total fabrication, but who cares, since, according to the media spin, Clinton - the former draft-dodging Vietnam War protester - proved himself to be a "decisive commander-in-chief"!

See the article in the mainstream Spanish magazine, 'El Pais'by Pablo Ordaz: "Spanish forensic experts say Serbs not guilty"
at: link

So what was the White House's, NATO's and the State Department's response to the above lack of evidence? Well, that's easy: "The Serbs must have used freezer trucks to transport the corpses to Serbia?. This laughable claim can easily be disproven too as can all other "genocide cover-up through mass transporting of bodies to Serbia" stories [Kosovo-Metohija just happens to be the "cradle" of Serbian cvilization and an integral province of Serbia]. See for example the article by Professor Francisco Gil-White, "The Freezer Truck Hoax:How NATO Framed Slobodan Milosevic"at:
link

It's about time that Clinton's and NATO's horrendous crimes against humanity are exposed to prevent such a nightmare from ever being repeated. For more on Clinton's support of Islamist Al Qaeda terrorism as a globalist geo-political weapon used by the White House in the Balkans during the 90's [which contributed and ultimately led to 9/11] see the exclusive intelligence reports of the ISSA link also see the 'Banner of Liberty' site at link
