Kosovo Fallout
(Another Clinton Turkey Comes Home to Roost)
R.A. Hawkins
Before I get to the point in this commentary I want to frame it properly. In order to do that, as well as keep it short and to the point, I’ll first summarize rather briefly.
The Moslems were killing the Christians so Clinton pushed an arms embargo against them. When the Christians began killing the Moslems Clinton wouldn’t lift the embargo. He did get a man to let the Iranians know we would look the other way if they smuggled weapons into the Moslems. (It was another of the definition of ‘is’ things for which he was so well known.) This deal broker later had to fall on his sword for Caligula on the Potomac when he was nominated to run the CIA by Clinton and that deal he brokered came out. A new force was born in the region called the KLA. They were, in many cases, trained in ‘special’ camps in Afghanistan.
The KLA was a big supplier of heroin to both the western and eastern European nations. That was their source of funding. That and the numerous murders and assassination plots was why Milosovic got fed up with them. Bill Clinton allowed the Iranians to extend their influence into that region and the result was Yugoslavia running the troublemakers out.
Russia had actually started to fall apart for real and there had been a few interesting attempts internally to topple them. None of them amounted to much, but attempts they were. China was suffering from drought, and food problems were starting to emerge. In short both nations were in serious trouble. That was the case until Bill Clinton decided to get NATO to attack a Russian ally.
By the time it was over we had used a defensive force to attack a Russian ally and the people now had an external enemy causing them to unite. When we hit a Chinese Embassy during that same war the same phenomenon occurred in China. And we did all of this to help a bunch of drug dealers become legitimate leaders. This is the same war that liberals rave about with a wild-eyed ecstasy as they go on about how selfless it was. Before I continue with some of the fruit of his folly I would like to point out that they never did find the mass graves in that region. They did find a lot of them in Iraq however. The media won’t show that to you though.
The fruit of Bill’s Folly is as follows. During this time frame al-Qaeda developed some very strong ties to the Albanian Mafia, or KLA. Most of the funding for al-Qaeda is coming from opium and other types of drug sales. There are also rumblings that the Albanian Mafia has had a part in obtaining nukes for al-Qaeda. But this isn’t the only betrayal to come out of this region. It came out in an Agence France Presse release that there is a Russian defector who claims that al-Zawahari was trained by the FSB, or the new and improved KGB. I also read where al-Zawahari claimed pretty much the same thing in an Al Jazeera interview.
This is yet another example of Russia having fore knowledge and a hand in al-Qaeda’s activities. What is my point? We are at war with Russia and probably China as well. They are using third parties to do their dirty work like they always do. Russia’s KGB created Yassir Arafat and they created Osama’s second in command.
I think that we might want to handle the war on drugs in a more open and direct manner. Since drug smugglers are the primary source of funding for our enemies they should be sunk, shot down and otherwise dealt with as enemy combatants. It really is that simple. I’m tempted to add that maybe we should be treating drug users as collaborators while we’re at it, but before you go through the ceiling and cause another burn mark on your carpet don’t worry. We as a nation seem to be having a lot of difficulty seeing anything clearly any more.
Many people are inclined to blame the government for the ills we are experiencing. We elect them and we keep buying the leftist rags called newspapers, so the onus is on us, and those around us. It is time to clean up our schools while we still have the time to get a generation in this country that hasn’t been given an indoctrination instead of an education. I do see some hope though. There are a lot of volunteers in Iraq who are doing a darn good job in spite of the endless leftist attacks against them.
