Remember why the USA started to isult its allies ? Why do you think (SNIP remaining democrappy propaganda) I think she meant before the demorats got mad about Bush kicking Gore's lying ass and decided that attacking Bush was more important than stopping mass murder, rape, etc. When did we adopt stopping mass murder and rape as a national policy? Seems to me that Clinton took a lot of heat for involving us in what used to be called Yugoslavia, when the Serbs decided that killing their Muslim neighbors and raping their womenfolk would be good sport. AIR, the only Repug who thought we ought to be doing something about it at the time was Bob Dole, and he had precious little support from his own party in his views. George Z. |

Our intervention in Bosnia took place in early December of 1995. Do you recall who was our President back then? Perhaps you confused it with the Gulf War, when Sadaam invaded Kuwait and we were afraid he was going to keep on going into the rest of Saudi Arabia. Apart from the fairy tales we were sold about pre-natal babies being evicted from their incubators, or whatever they call those things, that one was pretty much all about oil, and that was the one that George H. W. Bush started but didn't quite finish. George Z. |

Neither of the Bushes had anything to do with either of them.....they happened on Clinton's watch, Bosnia in December 1995 and Kosovo in March 1999. George Z. -- FF |

NATO began fighting in Bosnia in earnest in September, 1995. The Bush policy was continued and expanded under Clinton. The following was dated December 18, 1995. I wonder why they had their dates so screwed up way back then. U.S. Troops Begin Bosnia Intervention BY MAURICE WILLIAMS U.S. president Bill Clinton is moving at full steam to implement Washington's decision to send 20,000 troops to Bosnia as part of a 60,000-strong NATO occupation force. "This task force is ready to roll," he told U.S. soldiers in Germany December 2. They will be among the first of the NATO units in Bosnia. Gearing up for war, Clinton told the GIs they would be heavily armed and could respond "immediately and with decisive force" to hostilities. The White House is deploying such a massive force in a workers state for the first time in decades. The State Department's official goal is to enforce the partition of Bosnia, agreed to by the warring regimes in the former Yugoslav republics in a deal brokered by Washington on a military base in Dayton, Ohio, November 21. The masters of the U.S. empire are trying to boost their military and economic domination of the region, get one up on their European competitors, particularly Paris and Bonn, and take a stab at re-establishing capitalism in the former Yugoslavia. The first NATO unit composed of 28 soldiers landed in Sarajevo December 4 and included two GIs. Some 3,000 U.S. soldiers are imminently expected to arrive in Kaposvar, Hungary, for a brief stopover on the way to Bosnia by train. Overall, 32,000 U.S. military personnel will be involved in the action, including the 20,000 GIs in Bosnia, 5,000 in Croatia, and 7,000 support troops in Hungary and Italy. The parliament in Germany voted December 6 to approve sending 4,000 German soldiers to the Balkans - Bonn's largest military mission abroad since World War II. Judging from the words of our own Secretary of State in addressing the NATO foreign and defense ministers in Brussels, Belgium on December 5, 1995, he seems to have been under the impression that NATO was not yet involved. Take a look: "Mr. Acting Secretary-General, distinguished colleagues: It is a great privilege for Secretary Perry and me to speak with you today on behalf of the United States and President Clinton. For the first time in NATO's history, all 16 of our foreign ministers and all 16 of our defense ministers are meeting together. As we prepare to launch this historic mission in Bosnia, our Alliance has never been more united." I think I'll stick with my 1995 starting date. At least I can produce some evidence that backs it up. George Z. |

NATO first began considering enforcement of it late in 1992: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=na...uic.edu&rnum=2 The above cite was a link to an editorial from the NY Times. While the UN may have declared a no-fly zone over Bosnia, it apparently wasn't enforced by anybody, and certainly not by NATO. Here's how the editorial put it: "in defiance of a no-fly order declared by the U.N. When will the West bestir itself long enough to enforce this order?" http://groups.google.com/groups?q=na...m=1&fil ter=0 NATO airstrikes in Bosnia were reported on Nightline, Sept 12,1995: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=ai...num=1&filter=0 And here's the cruz of what is applicable from the above link: "The United States and its NATO allies formally agreed to give the United Nations military plans for enforcing a no-fly zone over Bosnia that includes shooting down Serbian warplanes." So, if that happened in 1992 and it took 3 years to get around to having NATO actually do something about it, I think I'll still stick with 1995 as the starting date. Clinton was president. My point exactly. George Z. |
