More serb propaganda via a Greek American poster in a greek newsgroup:
Bill Clinton says there was no justification for the Serbs to "abduct" three
U.S. servicemen wearing United Nations colors in Macedonia.
This statement, so Clintonesque in its phony authoritativeness, isn't even
flying in the United States, let alone Belgrade. What are the Serbs supposed
to do -- sit there while U.S. bombs fall on their cities and vital
infrastructure and not fight back? Is that what Bill Clinton honestly
expected?
Never has this sociopathic president been so obviously out of touch with
reality than in this dirty little Serbian war of his. This is a new low --
even for a president who has diminished the office he holds beyond our
nation's wildest imagination.
Just ponder the incongruity of this action by the NATO forces:
Remember the Bosnia crisis a couple years ago? The big problem there was the
Bosnian Serbs wanted independence. The U.S., NATO, and the U.N. said no,
while supporting limited military actions to prevent the Serbs from
advancing on their goals for autonomy. In Kosovo, ethnic Albanians want
independence from the Serbs. We said yes -- and even went to war to support
their bid for self-determination. Now what's the difference? Is it only Serb
independence movements we oppose? Is it only radical Islamic independence
movements we support? What's the principle for which we are fighting?
Slobodan Milosevic is the bad guy in this war. But a couple years ago, Bill
Clinton, NATO and the U.N. were propping up the unpopular Milosevic as a
force for peace in the region. Now he is a "war criminal." Isn't this a
perfect illustration of why the U.S. has no business interfering in the
complex religious and cultural wars that have been plaguing the Balkans for
the last 600 years?
The U.S. has depleted all but some 150 cruise missiles in the haphazard and
ineffectual bombing campaign against Serbia. No more cruise missiles are
being produced today, as WorldNetDaily columnist Charles Smith reported
first on March 29. It will be another two years before any more come off the
assembly line -- should they start gearing up right now. That leaves the
U.S. extremely vulnerable to another offensive somewhere in the world
between now and then. It could be Korea. It could be Iraq. It could be
Taiwan. The old reliable cruise missiles, upon which our military has relied
so heavily in recent years, are under ration, thanks to the poor planning of
the Clinton administration.
For the first time in the history of the world, a non-governmental
organization -- or NGO, as the United Nations is fond of calling them -- has
attacked a sovereign nation, not to stop a war between two countries, but to
enforce its will in a country's internal struggles. Think about it: NATO is
not elected by anyone. It is supposed to be an alliance of nations sworn to
protect one another if any member is attacked. None of the nations involved
in the Balkans war is a member. Yet NATO has exceeded its charter and
decided to wage war with a sovereign nation that was not threatening any of
its members.
Many of the same Americans who opposed the Vietnam war so passionately 30
years ago because it was a "civil war" are just as passionately defending
Bill Clinton's actions in Serbia. Clinton himself was a draft dodger during
the Vietnam conflict. Now he is a hawk -- raining death on Serbs like some
madcap character from "Apocalypse Now."
This wag-the-dog-and-pony show of Clinton's is a disgrace. This war is
immoral. It is illegal. There are no vital U.S. interests at stake in the
region. There is no battle plan. There is no exit strategy. There is only
death and destruction in this war -- no higher calling, no noble purpose, no
lofty goal.
It's time to stop looking for an honorable way out for Clinton. The only way
out for him is via the rear entrance at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and a free
ride back to Arkansas where he can devote his full attention to the only
kind of "domestic affairs" for which he is renowned.
Pull the troops out of the Balkans. Stop the bombing today. Relieve the
draft-dodging commander-in-chief from further responsibilities.
