Are The KLA soldiers deserting--Has Refugee Coverage backfired on CNN and NATO?

Many sources

Are The KLA soldiers deserting--Has Refugee Coverage backfired on CNN and NATO? In the beginning all kinds of stories about men being taken away. Now more and more of them are crossing not only with their families but just groups of men on their own. The question,When men see TV of their women and children in refugee camps with no food or shelter, do they stay in the hills or head out to find their families.

Looks like Clinton has destroyed The Albanians as well as NATO!

[Are The KLA soldiers deserting]
Deserting what? What was their true original goal? Were they ever viable? A few guys picked up guns and decided to defend themselves, family, and country but when the going got tough and was no longer macho, they split, faded back into the populace.

A few Communist terrorist created an organization that Clinton thought was a reliable ally. This guy has to go. Porter Goss is squirming like hell down here in Florida trying to explain his Stupidity. That sob goes the next election. Connie Mack what a disgace. He has lined his pockets along with Goss.

MSNBC did say on I think it was Thursday night on one'of their clips of the refugees that the KLA had set up checkpoints and was DRAGOONING the men for service in the KLA Army. Guess they are instituting the draft ahead of Clinton. I was amazed MSNBC would cover that.

I saw that also, They need men to replace their deserters. Apparently they aren't having much luck. Family comes first. PS maybe a visa to Germany, Italy, France. Better than dying for nothing.

These men were in training under the auspices of William Jefferson Clinton on how to nobly avoid your responsibilities.

The Ushtria Clirimtare E Kosoves (UCK), also known as the KLA are reported to go back to the early 1980's and to have controled up to 25-40% of Kosovo before the Yugoslavian army moved against them.
They are now reduced to limited pockets of resistance.

It is also reported that core members numbered around 5,000 trained military, with a total of 12,000 to 30,000. According to the AP the UCK/KLA are demanding that men from 18 to 50 report for service. "If the men refuse to join the KLA, the general staff warned that the military police will act even outside Kosovo".

For some insight check out stratform.com, hackworth.com and eastern european online magazines like the Czech Transitions.

Beg to differ on status of KLA, fellas; this Moslem army (KLA) is very well-funded, well-trained and well-armed. Its support comes from many quarters, and I wouldn't be surprised to find that US Special Forces have been assisting them for some time. If the cards fall right for them, other Moslem nations like Albania, Turkey, Chechnya, et al could come to their active aid. But if they overplay their hand, Serbia's Orthodox brothers Russia, Romania, Greece, et al could come against them (the sleeping giant to be awaken this time is not America).
What Clinton/Blair and the NWO crowd is attempting in Yugoslavia is "nation building" -- carving out a new, mineral-rich Moslem nation which will be beholden to the West. And which won't be so hung-up on evil ideas like sovereignty. Clinton's actions also benefit his patron (China), as the rest of the world's energy and resources are wasted in Europe, and America's attention is diverted from the Cox Report.

And don't think the NWO crowd will be content with Kosovo; I'll bet Israel suffers no such delusions. To paraphrase Sinatra, "If they can do it there, they can do it anywhere. It's up to you, Milosevic." It makes me sick that our military is now an instrument in the hands of evil people...

Worse thing is that if the KLA starts getting even with the deserters or noncomplying Albanian men those dumb shits at CNN, NBC, CBC, and the rest of Pravda West will blame it on the Serbs

KLA, as is the practice of many other corrupt 'revolutionary' movements, has been impressing young guys at gunpoint. The French Press Agency has had some interesting coverage on this in the past couple of days.
So, maybe some of the guys who weren't really that interested in the first place are taking advantage of the chaos to jam.

Another item that Brokaw, Jennings, and Rather don't seem to want us to know about: the KLA has been posting notices in villages urging folks to head for the border and in some cases has been fairly violent in making them do so. See, it makes for better TV if you have lots of people on the roads, makes it easier to get the US to do your fighting for you.

My information is that the KLA members are presently flush with cash (on their persons), another weapon of influence. Wonder where it came from...?

You're right about being well armed and trained but it is a small core group that has been trying to take or win Kosovo from the Serbs. Many people haven't thought about what could happen now that almost one million plus have been run out of Kosovo. The KLA will find funding and weapons from someone if not NATO a communist state. Then instead of a small well armed group they will be much stronger and harder to deal with. They will settle in other countries nearby and fight thier terriost wars across the borders. This is the real fear that Europe and NATO has is that the KLA will become stronger and will cause trouble in other countries and displace the minority populations in those countries. In other words if the KLA is driven out of Yugoslavia they will bring thier fight to other countries that can't handle it. What does NATO do? Arm them and let them fight the war? Fight the war now ourselves and hope that the Kosovors can be settled back in Kosovo? This is a real snake pit we've gotten into and Clinton IMO doesn't have what it takes to get us out or get it over with.
