Kosovo, l'Ue pensa all'indipendenza senza l'Onu
euronews
Un Kosovo indipendente anche senza una risoluzione delle Nazioni Unite. E'
l'ipotesi avanzata dall'Unione europea. L'intesa all'interno del Consiglio
di sicurezza stenta ad arrivare e la diplomazia europea spinge
sull'accelleratore dietro le pressioni dei kosovari che minacciano di
proclamare unilateralemnte la loro indipendneza: "Sosteniamo il piano
Ahthisaari ha dichiarato l'alto rappresentante dell'Unione europea Javier
Solana in un incontro con il presidente e il premeir kosovari - il
Consiglio europeo va in questa direzione. Vogliamo arrivare a una
soluzione".
La proposta dell'inviato Onu Marti Ahtisaari prevede l'indipendenza della
provincia serba, a maggioranza albanese, sotto il controllo
internazionale. Ma la Russia, con potere di veto in Consiglio, non ha
intenzione di sostenere il piano senza il consenso di Belgrado. E proprio
a Belgrado si recherà nei prossimi giorni il ministro degli esteri
francese Kouchner per spingere i serbi verso un accordo. 
--------------------------------------------------
se la UE adotterà un passo simile creerà un precedente che non so fino a
che punto si puo' ritenere positivo.

Cosa pensa del Kosovo G. Mill famosa rivista militare americana
Pensa che i demokratici di Klinton sono come i Repubblikani di Bush.
Hanno supportato dei terroristi islamici, per i loro fini.
Hanno mentito tramite i media alla opinione pubblica.
Hanno violato gli accordi internazionali in modo plateale.
Hanno venduto proprieta' del governo Serbo come dei ladri.
Hanno espanso il loro impero con la base di Bondsteel.
Adesso se ne stanno nella loro bella base e lasciano il lavoro di merda alla
NATO che non sa come venirne fuori.
Succedera' lo stesso in Afghanistan.
Looting Kosovo
 
By Carlton Meyer
Jun/29/2007
Most Americans are quick to blame President George Bush for America's
imperial ambitions in the post-Cold War world. They assume that electing a
Democrat President will return the USA to its traditional role as leader of
the world, not ruler of the world. However, Americans should recall that a
Democrat administration under President Clinton had already begun expanding
the empire. They organized an unprovoked attack on Serbia until it ceded
control of its southern province of Kosovo. As soon as U.S. troops arrived,
they began to build large, permanent military bases while Serbian government
property was looted. This was an effective demonstration of American power,
yet it may soon devolve into a disaster.
Kosovo has been a province of Serbia for hundreds of years and the
historical home of the Serbs. After World War II, nearby Albania was run by
an inept communist government, which ensured Albanians were the poorest in
Europe. This led to mass emigration and nearby Kosovo was favored. Yugoslav
dictator Tito allowed their immigration because he promoted the idea of
multi-culturalism. Albanian immigrants eventually became the majority in
Kosovo, and by 1990 they represented 80% of the population.
The local Christian Serbs disliked the invasion of these desperate Muslim
refugees, and many moved to other parts of Serbia. Since jobs were scarce,
many Albanians formed criminal gangs and engaged in illicit businesses. This
led to conflicts with local police and an increased presence of heavily
armed federal police. These Albanian gangs portrayed themselves as
"revolutionaries" to justify their activities to the local Albanians. They
eventually formed the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) and wore the insignia
found on the Albanian flag. This symbol was also worn by Albanian Muslims of
the Nazi SS Division "Skanderberg" that hunted down Serbian partisans during
World War II. It is currently worn by Kosovo's new police force.
In the mid-1990s, the plight of Kosovo's poor Muslim majority attracted the
attention of wealthy Arab charities with connections to al Qaeda, a
revolutionary group that helped expel the Soviets from Afghanistan. Kosovo
had been a frequent battleground between Christians and Muslims in past
centuries, so it was attractive to Islamic fundamentalists. Kosovo seemed
ripe for a Muslim revolution, so hundreds of well-funded Arab fighters
arrived. This caused violence to escalate, so Serbia sent more regular army
units into Kosovo to fight these foreigners.
Meanwhile, the Cold war had ended and every communist regime collapsed.
Yugoslavia broke apart after years of bloody fighting among ethnic groups.
Communism was defeated everywhere, except for Serbia, which refused "free
market reforms" and denied market access to international banks and
corporations. Around this time, the CIA began shipping arms to Islamic
terrorists in Albania. This seems unbelievable today, but recall this was
before 9-11 and the CIA had supplied arms and training to al Qaeda in
Afghanistan in the 1980s to fight Soviet-led communism.
This led to larger clashes between Muslim insurgents and the Serb army.
Firefights often erupted in villages, causing civilian casualties. The
Clinton administration began to spread misinformation that Serbian police
and military units had begun ethnic cleansing and thousands of Albanians had
been killed or routed from their homes. President Clinton and NATO demanded
that Serbian troops and federal police leave Kosovo to allow an
international peacekeeping force. The UN never supported or sanctioned any
actions since Russian intelligence knew those claims were false.
Motives for seizing Kosovo were numerous. Western banks and corporations
were upset that Serbia refused to "open up" so they wanted change. The NATO
bureaucracy and their military contractors supported action since their
budgets and very existence were threatened after the break-up of the Warsaw
pact. Some think Clinton favored action as a "wag the dog" distraction from
his impeachment proceedings. There was also friction with Arab nations as
the USA bombed Iraq frequently. Killing Serbs in support of Muslims could
demonstrate that the U.S. military also slaughtered Christians.
Serbia rejected intervention in its internal affairs, especially since
foreign terrorists fueled the violence. As a result, NATO built up airpower
in the region as a threat during negotiations. The Serbs eventually agreed
that NATO troops could enter Kosovo as temporary peacekeepers, but that
Serbia would retain sovereignty over Kosovo. This refusal to bow down to the
world's superpower was not tolerated. NATO unleashed a massive aerial
bombardment of Serbia. It was directed not only at Kosovo and the Serb
military. NATO warplanes destroyed all eight bridges over the Danube River,
television stations, factories, trains, and trucks hundreds of miles from
Kosovo.
The bombing campaign was led by American General Wesley Clark, who is now
running for President as an anti-war candidate. Since he was unsure if the
bombing would force the Serbs to agree, he tried to organize a ground
offensive, but that was too difficult on such short notice. After three
weeks of bombing, aircrews were exhausted, the bomb inventory was low, and
reports of the 2000 civilian deaths were causing political problems. Clinton
decided the best course was to accept the original Serbian offer and declare
victory. Amid the war fervor, the corporate media failed to inform Americans
that airpower had failed and their Generals and President were lying to them
about victory.
Serbia retained sovereignty over Kosovo as Serbian troops and federal police
withdrew and NATO peacekeepers arrived to find Kosovo in disarray. The heavy
bombings had terrorized the locals, and many had fled. KLA groups went on
rampages, threatening and killing Serbian Christians while burning many
churches. This was explained as "revenge" in the Western corporate press,
ignoring the fact that local Serbians had no control over the Serbian
military or government. Over 200,000 Serbs have fled Kosovo since NATO
troops arrived to ensure peace.
NATO forces managed to maintain some order while the UN was dragged in to
administer Kosovo. Meanwhile, it became clear that the conquest of Kosovo
had two hidden objectives. The first was the establishment of permanent
American military bases. The centerpiece was a huge, new American military
base called "Camp Bondsteel."[1] This base now has the best hospital in
Kosovo, the largest shopping mall in southeastern Europe, a movie theater,
three gyms, and two recreation buildings with phones, computers, pool
tables, and video games. It has two chapels, two large dining facilities, a
fire station, a military police station, the Laura Bush education center
where college classes are offered, two cappuccino bars, a Burger King, a
Taco Bell, an Anthony's pizzeria, two barber shops, two laundry facilities,
two dry cleaners, a sewing shop, and two massage parlors.[2] This base
certainly raises questions about the motives behind "liberating" Kosovo, and
proof that the U.S. military never intends to leave.
 
The second priority was to seize Serbian government land and businesses and
put it up for sale. The UN formed the "Kosovo Trust Agency," which soon
identified 350 properties, factories, and businesses that it wanted to
"privatize." It has its own website as part of a continual effort to sell
off assets belonging to the Serbian government.[3] Obviously, this was never
part of the 1999 agreement with the Serbs to allow temporary NATO
peacekeepers to deal with the KLA terrorists and protect civilian life.
The establishment of permanent U.S. military bases and the looting of Kosovo
angered some NATO nations. The lies about Serbian atrocities have become
well known outside the USA, as well as new atrocities committed by the KLA.
Canadian Major General Lewis MacKenzie, now retired, commanded UN troops
during the Bosnian civil war of 1992. He followed these events closely and
in 2004 penned an article, "We Bombed the Wrong Side in Kosovo" where he
surmised:
__________________________
"NATO sprung into action and, in spite of the fact no member nation of the
alliance was threatened, commenced bombing not only Kosovo, but the
infrastructure and population of Serbia itself -- without the authorizing
United Nations resolution so revered by Canadian leadership, past and
present.
Those of us who warned that the West was being sucked in on the side of an
extremist, militant, Kosovo-Albanian independence movement were dismissed as
appeasers. The fact that the lead organization spearheading the fight for
independence, the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), was universally designated a
terrorist organization and known to be receiving support from Osama bin
Laden's al-Qaeda was conveniently ignored. …
They were successful in turning Milosevic's heavy-handed response into
worldwide sympathy for their cause. There was no genocide as claimed by the
West -- the 100,000 allegedly buried in mass graves turned out to be around
2,000, of all ethnic origins, including those killed in combat during the
war itself."[4]
_________________________
Kosovo remains part of Serbia as recognized by every nation on Earth,
including the United States. Serbia's President and its largest political
party remain firm that Kosovo is part of Serbia. The USA and its NATO allies
hoped the UN Security Council would endorse Kosovo independence, thus
violating the agreement with the Serbs. Russia has refused to support the
idea, as it dislikes the idea of granting independence to ethnic groups that
succeed through violence. Russia has restless Muslim minorities to its south
that often rebel.
Other nations must realize that allowing a minority group to violently gain
independence sets a bad precedent. Spain has its troublesome Basque
minority; Holland now has a large Muslim population, while Turkey fights its
Kurds. Britain must recall its troubles in Northern Ireland, along with
growing independence movements in Scotland and Wales. Even the United States
may have problems, as Mexicans become the majority in some border states.
Meanwhile, the Kosovo parliament has demanded that the UN grant
independence. It has threatened to declare independence itself and order the
17,000 NATO troops to leave. If NATO forces remain, they may face attacks
from both KLA terrorists and Serbian nationalist guerillas from the north.
NATO nations will be reluctant to commit more troops to this expensive and
pointless endeavor, especially the USA whose troops are tied up in Iraq.
Attacks by Albanians against the remaining Serbs are likely to increase
while Russia demands that NATO forces withdraw, with hints that some natural
gas pipelines from Russia may shut down "for repairs."
As a result, NATO is stuck in quagmire. If NATO forces withdraw, Serbian
forces will reoccupy their own territory. However, Serbia will not recognize
the illegal "privatization" of their land, buildings, and industry so
investments made by international carpetbaggers will be lost. In addition,
the U.S. military may be forced to abandon its new multi-billion strategic
base at Camp Bondsteel, while Haliburton loses millions of dollars it earns
each year for running the base complex.
Some have suggested a compromise to partition Kosovo, allowing the northern
half to revert to Serbian control and the southern half to become an
independent Kosovo. Otherwise, violence may escalate with unpredictable
outcomes. The Serbian military could easily invade and capture the lightly
armed NATO troops. The U.S. military is fully tied up in Iraq and
Afghanistan, and NATO has no practical method of deploying forces to
recapture remote Kosovo. While bombing Serbia and looting Kosovo was great
fun, it may become an embarrassing disaster for NATO.
