CLINTON'S SCHEME TO MAKE KOSOVO A SAFE HAVEN FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS FROM ALBANIA Say "NO!" To US Ground Troops In Kosovo, Congressmen Say By Mary Mostert, Analyst, Original Sources Original Source April 7, 1999 President Clinton and his spokespersons keep saying that he will not send American Ground Troops to Kosovo. However, it seems clear that ground troops ARE going to be sent by NATO. Clinton has just announced that he is sending up to 24 Apache helicopters along with 2,000 to 2,700 American troops as "air support Igor Ivanov, Russia's foreign minister, said yesterday that NATO is planning to send 100,000 ground troops to Kosovo in the next 15 days (mostly European), according to Agence France Presse (AFP). The goal of the operation would be to separate Kosovo from the rest of Serbia and set up a provisional government, AFP said, citing the deputy chief of staff of the Russian armed forces, Yuri Boluyevsky. President Clinton pledged to press on with "undiminished, unceasing and unrelenting" air strikes against Yugoslavia until Milosevic surrenders control over Kosovo, a State in Yugoslavia, to NATO. For the bombings to stop, Clinton said Milosevic must withdraw his troops from Kosovo, agree to allow NATO peacekeepers into the province, accept an interim peace deal that gives Kosovo autonomy and allow all the ethnic Albanians who have fled the region to return. In other words, only an unconditional surrender by Milosevic of his army and 10% of his country will stop the USAF from bombing Yugoslavia cities. . Clinton stated, "We are prepared to sustain this effort for the long haul. Our plan is to persist until we prevail," Vladislav Javonovic, the Yugoslav Charge d'Affaires to the U.N., told CNN's "Larry King Live" that Belgrade was ready to offer Kosovar Albanians "a very impressive, substantial autonomy ... and, of course, safe return." The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees said nearly 400,000 refugees have fled Kosovo since March 24, and that "An estimated 831,000 of the 1.8 million ethnic Albanian population of Kosovo, many of them still on the move inside the province, have been displaced from their homes." The figure of 1.8 million people being Albanian is consistently used by the Administration. Where did it come from? I called the State Department and asked how many of the refugees were illegal aliens and how many were citizens. They didn't know and were surprised I asked. The 1998 World Almanac says the population of Kosovo is 2,000,000 people. Ninety Percent of them, the State Department says, are Albanian, which would, indeed, mean an Albanian population of 1,800,000. Yet, World Almanacs show that in 1961 Kosovo had a total population of 963,565, of which only 642,000 were Albanian. By 1983, when Yugoslavia was still united, with a total population of 22,826,000 people, only 8% of the entire population was Albanian, a total of 1,826,080. Then four ethnic groups seceded, Croatia, Macedonia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, and Slovenia, leaving Yugoslavia with a population of less than 45% of the land, and 10,337,000 people. The 1993 World Almanac showed that Yugoslavia still had only 8% Albanian population, which would indicate that there were 826,960 Albanians in all of Yugoslavia. Somehow, the State Department claims, there are now, a mere 5-6 years later, 1,800,000 Albanians LIVING IN KOSOVO ALONE! That doesn't count the 100,000 Albanians that are living in Belgrade. In fact, the apartment houses NATO bombed yesterday were occupied by Albanians. There was a million MORE Albanians living in Kosovo and 112,000 FEWER Serbs living in Kosovo and were are told that Serbs were mistreating the Albanians? Why, then, did so many of them come into Kosovo illegally? Members of Congress need to pay close attention to what Bill Clinton and NATO plan in "escorting" what appears to be close to 1,000,000 illegal aliens from Albania back into Kosovo and forcing, at gunpoint, the Yugoslavians to give up a piece of real estate which contains the cradle of their Serbian Orthodox faith to a group of Albanian Muslims. If that happens, it will only be a matter of time before some ethnic group in America wants ITS own seat in the United Nations and goes after it with the same determination as the Albanian, Macedonian, Croatian, Bosnian and Slovene minorities. Should the Cubans have part of Florida as their autonomous nation, or should African-Americans have Mississippi or Hispanics be given San Bernadino County for their ticket to the United Nations? And, what about the Cherokees and the Apaches? Shouldn't they have their own country? Do we really want to set a precedent that would allow a United Nations or Chinese army at some future time to bomb Miami or San Diego or Washington, DC until we Americans agree to give every disgruntled minority in America their own nation-state and seat in the United Nations? Yugoslavia and Slobodan Milosevic have been very harshly judged by NATO, led by Bill Clinton and a vigorous propaganda campaign by people like Geraldo Rivera are working overtime to convince the American people that their judgment authorizes an incredibly harsh punishment - the destruction of their nation. At this Easter time of year, perhaps those who believe in Jesus Christ might want to remember that he finished the Sermon on the Mount by saying, "Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." For the non-Christians, that translates into: What Goes Around Comes Around. If we do what Clinton is planning, we better never, EVER try to get rid of California's 1,000,000 illegal aliens, if the State Department figures are correct - and not merely figures to later accuse the Serbs of slaughtering people who never existed in the first place. |
