Kosovo honors Bill Clinton with statue

Large crowd of ethnic Albanians turn out to welcome ex-president

PRISTINA, Kosovo - Thousands of ethnic Albanians braved low temperatures and a cold wind in Kosovo's capital Pristina to welcome former President Bill Clinton on Sunday as he attended the unveiling of an 11-foot (3.5-meter) statue of himself on a key boulevard that also bears his name.

Clinton is celebrated as a hero by Kosovo's ethnic Albanian majority for launching NATO's bombing campaign against Yugoslavia in 1999 that stopped the brutal Serb forces' crackdown on independence-seeking ethnic Albanians.

This is his first visit to Kosovo since it declared independence from Serbia last year.

Wonder if the troops we still have stationed there attended?

I saw this earlier on Russia Today. And yet Abkhazia and S. Ossetia cannot be recognized as independent???
Despite the fact that there are 14000 NATO troops there, Kosovo is still a major drug distribution hub of drugs coming from Afghanistan and other points, Is still a sex slavery clearinghouse and brothels with underage sex slaves is still prevalent and even frequented by NATO troops.

So does anyone give a damn that thousands of innocent Serbs were killed during the indiscriminate bombing ordered by Clinton?

Of course leave to Kosovars to celebrate a man that should have been brought up on war crimes along with Wesley Clark in a "country" full of criminals.

I wonder if Monica was there to blow up and give some life to it????

If I remember correctly, Didnt Bill say we would be there for 18 months back 137 months ago?

Sure did, much like the Bush regime said we would be in Iraq 6 weeks, 6 months at the longest … but I digress. This has nothing to do with the actual topic.

Can you explain how our military employs "precision bombing" when they are sent to war by a Republican president, but engage in "indiscriminate bombing" when a Democrat is the CiC?

I don't recall Bush bombing the Chinese embassy in Baghdad ... I vaguely recall Clinton bombing the Chinese embassy in Belgrade. The former is what happens with precision bombing; the latter with indiscriminate bombing.

I hear they plan on openning a massage parlor across the street.

I strongly believe they should have honor the united states then just Clinton. As it was also Bush jr who supported there Independence.

Chinese embassy, refugee convoy, TV stations, hospital etc.

This is a decent organized link that describes the atrocities that NATO inflicted upon innocent civilians of Serbia. There was absolutely no reason for this to have happened. Today, discrimination still exists in Kosovo and all traces of the hundreds of years of history have been obliterated by Muslim Albanians while NATO soldiers watch and do nothing. The Organized crime syndicates in kosovo make the old Italian mobsters look like sissies. Even today, Eastern Eurpean parents long to find their children sold into sexual slavery in Kosovo. Ive been several times on these searches and have had to put up with NATO officials who still to this day dont give a damn about sexual slavery going on in this so called country. They would rather protect the criminals.

I'm sorry for any innocent lives lost in Kosovo, but there were far more innocent Iraqis killed as a result of Bush's war. And tell me...how many Americans did we lose in Kosovo? How about in any of the action in the Balkans?

Does anyone know whether the Iraqis and Afghans have any plans to erect statues to George Bush?

The plain fact is, the Clinton administration's Krulak-style "three block" war-fighting strategy in Kosovo ... "go `er done" ... at less than one percent the cost, in national treasure and heroes' blood ... of the Bush administration's disastrously ill-planned wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I do not think George Bush is a stupid man ... but his war-planning was crippled by a far-right ideology that sounded good on the radio ... and looked good on TV ... but failed horribly in the real world.

If NATO hadn't stopped Milosevic there probably wouldn't have been any Kosovar Albanians left to declare independence in 2008. Yes, Bush did recognize their independence, but so did most of the European Union. About the only European countries that did not recognize them were Serbia and Russia.

BS! The only thing he stopped was Serbs from chasing out terrorist and separatist from their country! Prior to NATO involvement there were approximately 200 violent deaths in Kosovo (including from terrorists attacks on police officers & civilians) …… some ethnic cleansing, huh…..

Milosevic was no angel, but in 98/99 he was doing what any sovereign/self respecting nation would do......kicking terrorist ass! There were no refugees coming out of Kosovo until AFTER the start of NATO bombing.

The only U.S. military action that outright violated the War Powers Act ...

It doesnt take alot of military strategy to kill civilians.

200,000 Serbs were forced from Kosovo, their homes burned down and any trace of hundreds of years of history burned down behind them.
Of course you chose to ignore the head chopping that went on there as well.

I was there, were you?
