A response to:
Clinton Heads to Belgrade for Talks on Kosovo, Serbia’s EU Bid

By: Stella Jatras

Good afternoon, Mr. Gomez. Since you were kind enough to give your email address (which few editors do!) in your commentary, Clinton Heads to Belgrade for Talks on Kosovo, Serbia’s EU Bid, I consider it an invitation to present my comments regarding Hillary and William Jefferson Clinton, or as the old program said, “You Asked For It,” and for that I thank you.

Let me begin with the following: In violation of International Law, the NATO Charter and WITHOUT the approval of the US Congress, NATO, at the urging of President Clinton (and Hillary,) bombed tiny Yugoslavia that did NOT have weapons of mass destruction, NEVER attacked us nor any other NATO country, and was NEVER a threat to us nor to any other NATO country. It was all based on the images we saw on TV. I invite you to read my A War Of Images, that was published in Jewish World Review. At the time we bombed Serbian civilians, NATO consisted of approximately 900 million members – and bombing tiny Yugoslavia with approximately 10 million in population and we thumped our chests like an 800-lb gorilla!

I strongly suggest you read Kosovo & Yugoslavia: Law In Crisis, at: http://jurist.law.pitt.edu/hayden.htm.

In 1995, NATO, bombed the Bosnian Serbs at the Markale Market Place – we all saw the images with the dead bloated bodies every hour on the hour by CNN’s Christiane Amanpour (whose father is Iranian and did have a dog in this fight) – an atrocity blamed on the Serbs. However, Yossef Bodansky, the author of “Bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War on America,” wrote in his book “Offensive in the Balkans,” the following:

Phase Three started with the self-inflicted major terrorist provocation. On Friday 5, 1994, a major explosion rocked the Markale — Sarajevo’s main market place — causing heavy casualties. What was immediately described as the ubiquitous “Serb mortar shell” was actually a special charge designed and built with help from HizbAllah experts and then most likely dropped from a nearby rooftop onto the crowd of shoppers Video cameras at the ready recorded this expertly-staged spectacle of gore, while dozens of corps of Bosnian Muslim troops killed in action (exchanged the day before in a ‘body swap’ with the Serbs) were paraded in front of cameras to raise the casualty counts.

“This callous self-killing was designed to shock the West especially sentimental and gullible Washington, in order to raise the level of Western sympathy to the Bosnian Muslims and further demonize the Serbs so that Western governments would be more supportive of Sarajevo’s forthcoming aggressive moves, and perhaps even finally intervene military.”

Maj. General Lewis MacKenzie (First UNPROFOR commander to Bosnia) also confirmed that “cameras were on the ready,” to take pictures of the Markale Market Place massacre allegedly to have been committed by Serbian forces when in reality, Bosnian Muslims were the ones who killed their own people.

Re: Hillary’s little sojourn to Bosnia – apologizing saying that she ‘Misspoke’ About Bosnia Trip. Gee! I thought she was the smartest woman in the world, or so she told us!

Furthermore, I spoke with William Nash, who was the commander of U.S. troops in Bosnia and was at the Tuzla airport with Hillary Clinton. He said there was no threat of sniper fire at the airport during her visit. He said that Mrs. Clinton was gracious during her visit and took pictures with the soldiers, but “she never had her head down. There was no sniper threat that I know of.

Hillary’s fake story reminds me of when Mr. Kinzer (NYT magazine, 1994) wrote of Christiane Amanpour: “Advocate or not, Amanpour has developed a style of her own. She has a strong ego, and is satisfied only when she can dominate a story, as she has in Bosnia.” I guess that includes a little stage management when appropriate. According to another journalist who was with Ms. Amanpour during a visit to Kosovo, some of the journalists were taken on a orientation flight along the border between Kosovo and Albania by helicopter and were advised to wear flak jackets for the flight because of possible ground fire from Albanian positions. When the flight returned, Ms. Amanpour, wearing a flak jacket, taped her report for the CNN audience with scenes photographed from the helicopter in the background… really dramatic stuff. The only problem is, she had not accompanied her cameraman on the flight. The flak jacket and the taped film of the flight were all for effect. And to think that Cokie Roberts was criticized for wearing a coat and having a picture of the Capitol Building in the background when, in fact, she was being filmed in a studio.

The article is from my pen, entitled Odd Alliance at State and CNN? which you can read at http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=16082 Also: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2206485/posts, where I posted my comments regarding Christiane Amanpour.

I strongly advise you to get a copy of John Schindler’s book, Unholy Terror: Bosnia, Al-Qa’ida, and the Rise of Global Jihad, where he makes the following points:

* how the Bosnian conflict has been misrepresented by the mainstream media, covering up the large role played by radical Islam and al-Qa’ida;

* how Osama bin Laden used Bosnia as a base for terrorist operations worldwide—including attacks on the United States from the Millennium Plot to 9/11;

* how veterans of the Bosnian jihad have murdered thousands of Americans and conducted terrorist attacks around the world;

* how the Clinton administration, in collaboration with Iran, secretly supplied Bosnia’s mujahidin, including al-Qa’ida, with millions of dollars of weapons and supplies;

* how America’s Bosnian allies have been in covert alliances with radical anti-American regimes in several countries;

* why Bosnia and its secret jihad matter to America and our War on Terrorism today.

And what have we accomplished in the Balkans? Bosnia and Kosovo are corridors into Europe and into the United States (i.e., Ft. Dix.) with their jihad – and Oh! by the way, it was Hillary who welcomed Kosovo Albanians to the United States at Ft. Dix in 1999.

And may I ask a question of you, Mr. Bloomberg. Are you or were you aware that the Bosnian Muslims and the Kosovo Liberation Army were killing their own people in order to get us to fight their battle, which we willing did thanks to our President Clinton? It certainly took America’s mind off of Monica. Did you see the pictures of al-Qaida terrorists holding the heads of Serbs? Or the report of KLA drowning grandmothers in bathtubs in Kosovo? I often wonder, what did the Serbian people ever do to us other than be our ally in World War II where they rescued over 500 downed American pilots (known as Halyard Mission), and what was their reward for their sacrifices? We bombed their mothers, their fathers, sisters and brothers. See: “Halyard Mission” and Mihailovich Honored at World’s Largest Private Air Show – AirVenture July 2009 and The Serbs Chose War, by Ruth Mitchell.

Although I have merely touched the tip of the iceberg, I have already taken up enough of your time and I thank you for lending me your ear.

Best regards,

Stella (Jatras)

P.S. If you go to www.yahoo.com or www.google.com, and type in my name, Stella Jatras, you will understand why I received a death threat from the UCK, the Albanian arm of the Kosovo Liberation Army.

FYI: I am not a Serb, nor did I know anything about Serbians until our intervention into the Balkans in the 1990s…….


Jihadi false flag ops, again

This post on Jihad Watch describes an attack that could easily have gone much worse:

Afghanistan: Jihadists in U.S. Army uniforms attack NATO base

Quoth Muhammad: War is deceit.” “Insurgents attack 2 bases in east Afghanistan,” by Rahim Faiez for the Associated Press, August 28:

KABUL, Afghanistan – Insurgents wearing U.S. Army uniforms launched pre-dawn attacks Saturday on a major NATO base in eastern Afghanistan and a nearby camp where seven CIA employees were killed last year in a suicide bombing. NATO said there were no coalition casualties and the attacks were repelled.

Afghan police said about 50 insurgents attacked using rifles, heavy machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades and other weapons, but had been repelled.

After being driven away from the bases, the insurgents approached the nearby offices of the governor and provincial police headquarters but were driven off, said Khost provincial police Chief Abdul Hakim Ishaqzai.

“Given the size of the enemy’s force, this could have been a major catastrophe for Khost. Luckily we prevented it,” he said.

Small arms fire continued through the morning, while NATO helicopters patrolled overhead.

NATO said two insurgents had managed to breach Salerno’s perimeter, but were observed cutting the fence and killed immediately.

Dead insurgents were seen wearing camouflage jackets and pants seemingly identical to those warn by U.S. Army soldiers….

It always happens whenever we trust Muslims

The following is an excerpt from a 1999 article about another false-flag operation carried out by the narcoterrorist/Islamist KLA, who, under various names and guises, were then, and still are, the local branch of al Qaeda in Kosovo.

This, of course, took place during the aftermath of the Kosovo War. For those not old enough to remember, Bill Clinton arm-twisted NATO into going along with him in his unprovoked war against the Christian Serbs, on behalf of the Muslim KLA.

The KLA obligingly helped him out by masquerading as Serb soldiers to commit acts of violence against civilians, so as to give Clinton some halfway-credible pretext to bolster his shaky rationale for committing the US and NATO militaries to make war on the Serbs.

Masked smiley in a curved frame

Masks!

On December 3, 1999, Agence France Presse (AFP) reported that UN police and KFOR [that is, NATO] troops found illegal weapons, KLA uniforms, and Serb police uniforms in a house “inhabited by members of the future Kosovo Protection Corps” [the successor to the supposedly-disbanded Kosovo Liberation Army or KLA].

Would someone please tell us: what are KLA operatives doing with Serbian police uniforms?

Remember all of those news stories about various war crimes and atrocities that were supposedly committed by Serbian police, often wearing masks, during the NATO bombing and before?

The stories completely contradicted other reports, such as official documents from the German Courts, which ruled that there was no persecution of ethnic Albanians in Kosovo. [See note #2 at the end]

Of course, the stories did not offer any hard evidence that the culprits were actually Serbian police.

But these stories certainly were convenient for the NATO sales team, and the mass media, in terms of selling the war against the Serbs. What an effective way to turn public opinion against the Yugoslav nation and the entire Serbian people!

One thought we had at the time: ANYBODY can put on a stolen police uniform. And the KLA wouldn’t have to steal the uniforms either; they could simply manufacture identical uniforms in any clothing factory.

This is all especially eerie because we read a Reuters story dated December 4, 1999 about the fighting going on in Chechnya, in Russia. According to the story the “US-sponsored Radio Liberty” reported that “masked Russian troops had opened fire at close range on the column of refugees.”

“Masked Russian troops”? Again, why the masks? IF they were trying to disguise who they were, why wear Russian uniforms? Unless of course they really anti-Russian troops trying to provide negative media coverage to be played in the West, where the governments (especially the Clinton administration) are supporting the Chechnya rebels behind the scenes because they want to see Russia broken up into edible pieces.

Here is the first half of the AFP story about the uniforms:

Illegal arms cache found in homes of Kosovo Corps members

PRISTINA, Yugoslavia, Dec 3 (AFP) – A stash of weapons was found in a house in southern Kosovo inhabited by members of the future Kosovo Protection Corps, UN police said Friday. UN police officers and members of the NATO-led forces in Kosovo (KFOR) searched two houses in Stimje, where they said they found “anti-tank rockets, anti-personnel land mines, sub-machine guns, thousands of bullets, as well as Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) and Serb police uniforms.” They arrested two members of the Kosovo Protection Corps, who police said would be charged with “illegal possession of military armaments.” Police did not specify the number of weapons found, only indicating that the number was “substantial.”

Read the rest.

The take-home lesson

Never fight on behalf of Muslims, and be exceedingly wary of Muslims as enemies. Muslims can never be counted on to follow the ‘normal’ (i.e.,customary European) rules of warfare, though Muslims are always the first ones to complain whenever they can find a way to make it look as though we are not following our own rules.


We are done in Afghanistan…here is your ‘Courageous Restraint Medal’

by coldwarrior ( 109 Comments › )

FORWARD OPERATING BASE RAMROD, Afghanistan — NATO commanders are weighing a new way to reduce civilian casualties in Afghanistan: recognizing troops for “courageous restraint” if they avoid using force that could endanger innocent lives.

The idea of using awards as another way to encourage soldiers to avoid civilian casualties came from a team that advises NATO on counterinsurgency, or COIN, doctrine, said an official with knowledge of the process. He spoke on condition of anonymity because the proposal is still under review.

“We routinely and systematically recognize valor, courage and effectiveness during kinetic combat operations,” said a statement recently posted on the NATO coalition’s website by the group, the Counterinsurgency Advisory and Assistance Team.

“In a COIN campaign, however, it is critical to also recognize that sometimes the most effective bullet is the bullet not fired,” it said.

It highlighted an incident in Helmand province in January in which rumors that coalition forces had burned a Quran incited an angry mob to throw rocks and bricks at U.S. Marines and Afghan soldiers. The Marines had the right to fire in self-defense, but none did, it said.

Six people were reportedly killed during the protest, but the shooting is believed to have come from Afghan security forces.

“There should be an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the troops who exhibit extraordinary courage and self-control by not using their weapons, but instead taking personal risk to de-escalate tense and potentially disastrous situations,” the statement said.

Gen. Stanley McChrystal, that the war effort hinges on the ability to protect the population and win support away from the Taliban.

Those who back the idea hope it will provide soldiers with another incentive to think twice before calling in an airstrike or firing at an approaching vehicle if civilians could be at risk.

Most military awards in the past have been given for things like soldiers taking out a machine gun nest or saving their buddies in a firefight, said Command Sgt. Maj. Michael Hall, the senior NATO enlisted man in Afghanistan.

“We are now considering how we look at awards differently,” he said.

So let me get this straight, we are going to hand out medals to troops that show restraint in battle to save civilian lives.  COIN and the adherence to it is seen, I am sure, as total weakness by the Taliban and other jihadi forces.We tried this hearts and mind stuff already. It didn’t work in Viet Nam against an enemy that was willing to fight forever and it will not work in the muslim world because they do not hold the same value of human life that we in the civilized world do. Actions by the jihadi driven muslim terrorists and the way the muslim religion treats people (especially women) are clear evidence of the difference in value of life. Hopefully we wont be issuing this medal posthumously too often.

If anything, the muslim fighters and terrorists will capitalize on this restraint and use civilians more and more as cover. This will make the situation on the ground even more difficult for our troops and probably increase the number of civilian casualties as the enemy capitalizes on this weakness.

Our senior officers and political leaders are mired in the PC swamp and have lost their way. They have forgotten that the Western soldier values human life and will protect innocence on his own. He does not need a medal to do this act. To put this whole thing in a sports metaphor: we just gave the enemy ‘bulletin board material’.

Of course, the junior officers and enlisted get it, they are self restraining because they are Western Value oriented, not medal hounds:

But some U.S. soldiers here at Forward Operating Base Ramrod in Kandahar province are skeptical that the chance of winning an award is going to change the way troops make decisions on the battlefield.

“Not a single one of these guys does it for the medals,” said Capt. Edward Graham, referring to the soldiers in his company.

Graham, whose company is part of the 4th Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment, said soldiers are constantly forced to weigh the duty they have to protect their colleagues against the goal of avoiding civilian casualties.

“The bottom line is I have to find a way to go to sleep at night,” said Graham. “If I hurt women and children, I’m not going to sleep. If I lose my men, I’m not going to sleep. I have to find a balance.”

The muslims have been at this for 1300+ years, they are predictable and simple to understand, consult Charles Martel for tips on fighting muslims and read the koran to understand the enemy. Our senior leadership has us chasing our tail;  if we aren’t going to try to understand the enemy in order to destroy him and learn the history of how to defeat the muslims, then its time to come home, we just lost the initiative.

Obama’s diplomatic war with Israel (and American allies)

ObamaChamberlain

In what can only be described as the middle finger to Israel, reliable sources have said that Obama seeks to “impose,” (via his “diktat”) a “peace plan” upon Israel, against its will.

This is a total disaster. But it does remind me of a horrific conversation I had when Obama was elected. I was at the “election party” held by a leading Jewish organization, which was a joint Jewish-diplomat party. 95% of the attendees adored Obama, and were cheering when he was elected. I, of course, was vomiting. In any case, I ended up speaking to an Israeli diplomat who works for the consulate. I told her my distress over Obama’s election, and she told me how happy she was. When I told her my fears, and of my rejection of the “two state solution,” she said that I don’t believe in “peace and hope.”  When I said that I believed in security now, peace later, she said that “this will lead to the end of Israel, which cannot survive just like that.” She then said that she sees “peace” as a “two state solution,” with NATO troops in the West Bank. I literally laughed in her face and walked away when she said that.

But it seems she will have her way, as will all the J-Streeters, who believe in similar delusions, that somehow you can appease the Jihad-minded ‘Palestinians’ by giving them land, vital to Israel’s security, and ethnically cleansing hundreds of thousands of Jews from our homeland (while allowing Arabs to live wherever they want). This somehow is meant to lead to “peace, peace in our time!”

Please read this column in Commentary.

According to Cooper, the trigger for this latest instance of administration hubris was a recent gathering of former national-security advisers including Zbigniew Brzezinski, Brent Scowcroft, Samuel Berger, and Colin Powell, who were called in to consult with the president and his adviser General James L. Jones. The consensus (only Powell seems to have dissented) was that Obama must put forward his own scheme that would state exactly what the parameters of a peace deal would be. The idea is that peace can only be obtained by the United States imposing it on the parties. The plan is, of course, along the lines of past Israeli peace offers rejected by the Palestinians, plus extra Israeli concessions. The Palestinians give up their “right of return,” and Israel “would return to its 1967 borders,” including the one that divided Jerusalem, with only “a few negotiated settlements” as an exception. The supposed sweetener for Israel is that the United States or NATO, whose troops would be stationed along the Jordan River, would guarantee Israeli security.

Cheering from the sidelines is former Clinton staffer Robert Malley, who advised Obama on Middle East issues during the 2008 campaign until he was put aside to reassure Jewish voters worried about the Democrats having a man on staff who had served as an apologist for Yasser Arafat in the aftermath of the 2000 Camp David talks. For Malley, the logic of an American diktat is simple: “It’s not rocket science. If the U.S. wants it done, it will have to do it.”

Read it all.

And I have another comment to add.

Obama is so damned arrogant! He just thinks he can impose his “diktat” upon a sovereign ally, against its will, and just get whatever he wants, because he is Obama. Yet somehow, he doesn’t seem to want Iran to be de-nuclearized enough to “get it done.” The same logic of “well, the USA wants it, so it will happen,” doesn’t seem to apply to America’s enemies. Only its friends.

It will take a long time to recover from the sheer arrogance and audacity of the Obama administration. Why should anyone want to be an American ally again?

Between this, and the leak that Obama is not letting Israeli nuclear scientists travel to the USA, as well as an alleged arms freeze imposed upon Israel, it is clear that Obama is in diplomatic war with a strategic ally. This is a pattern of Obama’s, as we see how “well” he treats other allies, such as the UK (returning the Churchill bust), India (pressuring India and doing little about Pakistan), Honduras, Colombia, and Eastern Europe (reneging on middle defense), amongst so many others.

My humble proposal is for all of the USA’s former allies to work around the Obama administration while he is in office, as Obama is clearly hostile to human rights. I suggest forming a coalition of human rights-supporting countries (as well as semi-free countries under siege), such as Israel, India, certain European states (that are not totally dhimmified, such as Italy and France under Sarkozy, or Spain if it has Partido Popular, and Eastern European countries such as Poland the Czech Republic), countries in Africa battling Jihad, such as Ethiopia, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, the Philippines, Australia/New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and Honduras. These countries will need the safety of a nuclear umbrella, and so they will sadly likely have to go to Putin’s Russia. Hey, this is already happening, as Avigdor Lieberman (born in Moldova) is reaching out to Russia. Heck, there are even efforts by Israel to reach out to China.

I foresee a realignment of world alliances due to Obama’s choice of foe over friend. It is the only way our former allies have a chance to battle against Jihad and its Progressive allies (Chavez/Castro/et. al.).
