NATO Suspends Training of Kosovo Security Force After KLA Dedication Event
Getting their wish with the help of the US and NATO:Mustafa Kruja, the Prime Minister of Albania, was in Kosovo in June 1942, and at a meeting with the Albanian leaders of Kosovo, he said: "We should endeavour to ensure that the Serb population of Kosovo be – the area be cleansed of them and all Serbs who had been living there for centuries should be termed colonialists and sent to concentration camps in Albania. The Serb settlers should be killed."[50][51]KFOR (NATO) Commander Gen. Markus Bentler has decided to suspend the training of the Kosovo Security Force (KSF) until further notice. More rotten fruit from Clinton's dangerous and wrongheaded war for the Albanian Muslims against the Christians.
And now the US is insisting upon creating Kosovo as a sovereign state, a militant Islamic state in the heart of Europe. And now this.
The Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) was a Kosovar Albanian (Muslim) terrorist, secessionist and irredentist jihadist organization which violently agitated for the separation of Kosovo from Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the 1990s.
NATO suspends training of Kosovo Security Force after KLA dedication event
PRIŠTINA -- KFOR Commander Gen. Markus Bentler has decided to suspend the training of the Kosovo Security Force (KSF) until further notice.
This was announced on Sunday evening in Priština by the NATO-led force's HQ in Kosovo.
The statement said that the measure was taken after "KSF's guard of honor" on March 5 in Priština "appeared in the form of an armed formation during an event dedicated to the former KLA".
"This is not in line with the position of the KSF, which does not have a military status. Besides, the NATO flag was displayed during the festivities, which is unacceptable, as KFOR is status-neutral," Beta news agency quoted the statement as saying.
Bentler yesterday met with the Kosovo Albanian leadership, including Fatmir Sejdiu and Hashim Thaci, and the minister and chief of KSF, Fehmi Mujota and Sulejman Selimi.
Earlier today, reports from Priština quoted Sejdiu as saying that he believed a previous announcement by a KFOR spokesman, who said the force's relations with KSF were "frozen", was in fact misinterpreted.
"KFOR is an important investor in the enlargement of KSF and you know that all the steps thus far were undertaken in agreement and partnership and I believe that in the future (it) will contribute to our NATO membership," Sejdiu was quoted.
Hashim Thaci's deputy, Hajredin Kuci, said that the situation "should be clarified", but added that "nobody should expect Kosovo not to behave like a sovereign state".KSF is trained under NATO's command, and its mandate is to deal with elementary disasters. The formation is expected to be operational in several years' time
Julia Gorin in Thursday's Washington Times:
Something happened after President Clinton's 1999 war in Kosovo: It never ended. Its continuation was characterized by anti-Serb arson, kidnappings, bombings of NATO-escorted civilian buses and efforts to kill everyone from schoolgirls to octogenarians, plus the rare peacekeeper who tried to prevent any of this.
Toward the end of 1999, several major newspapers reported on findings that mass graves such as the infamous Trepca zinc mine turned up empty, as did the stadium we were told was being used as a concentration camp. Anyone reading this one-time follow-up also would have learned that the "cleansing" of 800,000 Albanians had more to do with NATO bombs and Kosovo Liberation Army orders than with the outrageous claim that Serbia was trying to empty the province of 90 percent of its population.
But the bombshell postwar story had no legs. No media outlet, human rights organization or congressional subcommittee launched an investigation, and the press moved on, taking the public with it. So Americans don't know that within months of our serving as the Kosovo Liberation Army's (KLA) air force, the Albanian insurgents also tried to seize the Presevo Valley area in southern Serbia and by early 2001 started a civil war in Macedonia, which had sheltered 400,000 refugees during the Kosovo war.
At the same time, the Albanian fighters started to engage NATO troops openly. In February 2000, the U.N. and NATO in Kosovo issued a joint statement that "two young French soldiers, who came here as peacekeepers, are lying in hospital beds suffering from gunshot wounds inflicted on them by the very people that they came here to protect," the CATO Institute's Gary Dempsey reported. He added, "As a candid intelligence officer with the U.N. Mission in Kosovo [UNMIK] explained to me in November, 'We are their tool, and when we stop being useful to them, they will turn against us.'"
In March 2000, The Washington Post reported, "A senior Pentagon official warned yesterday that U.S. troops in Kosovo this spring may have to fight their former allies, ethnic Albanian guerrillas who are rearming themselves and threatening cross-border attacks against Serbia. 'This has got to cease and desist, and if not, ultimately it is going to lead to confrontation between the Albanians and KFOR [NATO Kosovo Force].' "
[....]
We didn't want Albanians to start killing us, so we let them keep killing Serbs. Rather than see what would happen if we tried saying "no" to Albanian demands and designs, and risk Americans discerning the real nature of their new best friends - which of course would compound the domestic terror threat - we guaranteed ourselves a bigger, more entrenched and more global problem.
When Kosovo re-entered the headlines in 2008, some started catching on. In March 2008, Northwestern University law professor Eugene Kontorovich wrote in the New York Sun, "An important ingredient of Kosovo's success in achieving self-determination seems to be their constant threats of violence. The Kosovar prime minister ... often warned of 'dangers' and 'unforeseeable consequences' if the province were not allowed to secede. ... As a result, NATO and America have become parties to the carve-up of a sovereign state that they subdued by force. ... For international law, the entire process is a string of humiliations ... peacekeepers are hostages; and sovereignty is trumped by the threat of terror."
"Hostages" precisely describes the West in Kosovo. If anyone wonders why the George W. Bush administration joined the Clintonites in the belief that "independence is the only viable option" and "there can be no compromise," it's because in the gangster's paradise of Kosovo, the United States alternates between hostage and gangster. The Albanians give us ultimatums, and we give the Serbs ultimatums. Our government toes the Albanian line, and our press toes the government line. United Press International's Robert M. Hayden gave a glimpse of it in March 2008: "The problem is not that 'Serb nationalists' are resisting 'the West,' as it is put by those U.S. journalists who honor the First Amendment by parroting the State Department. ... [A political solution] could have been reached with Serbia, but neither the Clinton administration nor that of George W. Bush wanted one."
A clearer picture emerges of the "failed" negotiations between Belgrade and Pristina, to which the Serbian delegation would come with lists of various broad compromises, and the Albanian delegation would look at their watches. Sabotaging the "negotiations" before each round - and redefining the term - Mr. Bush or Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice would announce that the end result would be independence.
An excerpt from a 1999 Q&A in Time magazine illuminates how far we swerved from our original goals: "The alliance wants Kosovo to be given autonomy within the Yugoslav federation, but opposes the full independence that the KLA is fighting for, fearing that creating a new Kosovar-Albanian state would further destabilize an already volatile region."
Today, however, even the language is reversed: that which we knew would destabilize the region is now promoted as what is needed to "stabilize" the region. And so our military is being used to enforce KLA directives and make the last of the resisting Serbs comply with the new reality.
Most of the last resisting Serbs are in the only remaining part of Kosovo where it is still safe to be Serbian, Northern Kosovska Mitrovica, along the boundary with Serbia. The Serbs there have been open to a partition that would allow them to stay within the internationally recognized borders of their country, Serbia. But we were informed by our Albanian "partners" that a partition was out of the question, ironically invoking "territorial integrity" - which our leaders then repeated.
Rather than Kosovo's diabolical path to statehood, our bureaucrats and media point to Belgrade as the problem, because it backs Northern Mitrovica, where Serbian institutions are still in place. We are warned that the real threat is Belgrade's refusal to recognize the land grab, its turning to Moscow for support and its creation of "parallel institutions." A rich admonition indeed, given that Kosovo's parallel Albanian institutions within the host society were what brought us to the hailed secession itself.
NATO troops have been amassing around Northern Mitrovica, and in a few months, with or without Belgrade finally selling out the Kosovo Serbs (always a looming possibility), we will witness the next act of war by U.S.-led NATO against an ally that has never been a threat to America. We will be enforcing borders that only one-third of U.N. member states even recognize to deliver nothing less than the full territory that our masters demand.
This time, when Americans watch our military "contain" the Serbs, they should recognize it for what it is. The troops themselves would do well to understand what is being enforced with their hands. And when the images gracing American TVs are again exclusively of the "wild" Serbian reaction, meant to depict Serbs as violent and therefore justifying the aggression that caused it, Americans should ask themselves how they might react if coerced to secede from their country by an ethnic group that reached majority status in their area.
In February 2007, Jim Jatras, a former senior analyst for the Senate Republican Foreign Policy Committee, asked a Hungarian member of the European Parliament, "Why are you rewarding Albanian violence with state power?" The member replied, "Because we're afraid of them."
Superlative article! Where else can we go to find out the truth!
The most stupid thing the West is doing is training our enemies how to fight. In Afghanistan, all the trining techniques are transferred to the Taliban, and the same in Iraq with Al-Qaeda. So now our enemies know exactly how our armed forces respond to any given situation.
The lesson here is simple, and straight forward to understand. Islamic wars, such as the Ottoman's in the Balkans NEVER end. Serbia attempted to finish it, however, the United States under dumbo Klintoon and not so Albright had to interfere, hence now, the partitioning of a sovereign nation in favor of Islamic thuggery and genocide... smack in the middle of Europe. How left overs from the Ottoman wars can claim lands that never were theirs is beyond comprehension.
The only way to win an Islamic wars, are to totally crush, then to 100% expel every last mother, child, and person back where they came from. There's NO other way. WHY? Because there's NO such thing, or term as a moderate Muslim.

Serbs Had to Battle Islamic Jihad
Part II to this post:Serbs had to battle an Islamist threat, too Stella Jatras, Washington Times
I am not defending Radovan Karadzic ("Karadzic blames Islamic militants for war," Web, Monday, and "Karadzic blames Muslims for killing," Geopolitics, Tuesday). However, there is a basis for his claim that Osama bin Laden's Muslim militants were active in the Balkan war. Instead of being honest brokers in what was a civil war, the Clinton administration, along with a willing media, successfully portrayed Serbian forces, including the Serbian people collectively, as the only villains.
In 1993, the government of Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic issued a passport to bin Laden at the Bosnian Embassy in Vienna, thereby enabling themaster terrorist to visi tboth Bosnia and Kosovo on several occasions. In his book "Unholy Terror: Bosnia, Al-Qa'ida, and the Rise of Global Jihad," professor John R. Schindler, formerly with the National Security Agency, made the following points: The Bosnian conflict has been misrepresented by the mainstream media, which has covered up the large role played by radical Islam and al Qaeda; bin Laden used Bosnia as a base for terrorist operations worldwide; and the Clinton administration, in collaboration with Iran, secretly supplied Bosnia's mujahideen, including al Qaeda, with weapons and supplies.
At the urging of President Clinton, NATO forces bombed the Bosnian Serbs in 1995. Yossef Bodansky, in his book "Offensive in the Balkans," wrote that the mortar used to bomb Sarajevo's main marketplace was designed and built with the help of Hezbollah. Mr. Bodansky wrote, "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 [militarily]."
In a 1995 interview with the Dutch publication De Standaard, Mr. Karadzic said, "This war is an example of what modern media and governments can do. They can arrange anything. Put on a show so that their people believe anything. While watching their television pictures or their radios sometimes I myself almost came to the conclusion: We Serbs, we are real swine. They could put their stories together that well."
It is hypocritical for our administrations to blame Islamic militants for the atrocities committed against us but not for the atrocities the Islamists committed against Bosnia's Christian Serbs.

Christiana Amanpour and the news networks were responsible for fanning the flames of war by constantly referring to Serbia 'war crimes' and 'genocide' when they, in fact, were the victims. Since guaranteeing America would declare the war on the victims instead of the aggressor (the Albanan KLA) in (Serbian) Kosovo I notice Amanpour has been made a CBE, and an honourary citizen of Sarajevo. She also favoured the 'Muslim version' of the facts in Bosnia.
Here's a short take on Amanpour from Wiki:
Her emotional delivery from Sarajevo during the Siege of Sarajevo led some viewers and critics to question her professional objectivity, claiming that many of her reports were unjustified and favoured the Bosnian Muslims, to which she replied, "There are some situations one simply cannot be neutral about, because when you are neutral you are an accomplice. Objectivity doesn't mean treating all sides equally. It means giving each side a hearing."
And the left dare to call Bush a war monger!
