We ought to start in some small may to roll back the nonsense of seeing interests where they do not exist. <br /><br />Let's try this: For any country that 80% of the US population cannot find on a map, our interests do not meet the threshold of involvement."<br /><br />Your statement is inaccurate, unrealistic and contradictory. You would do yourself a great deal to at least learn something, anything about a topic prior to declaring yourself judge jury and executioner. <br /><br />To say that there is absolutely NO interest in Kosovo is absolutely absurd. What exactly gives you the authority to declare that? Are you well read and or informed about Kosovo's issues over the last century? Does your government give you truthful information on the region, the culture, the subject of Kosovo's war for independence? <br /><br />I vividly remember the coverage of the Serbian "attack" on Kosovo. Who wouldn't? Just like any other preposterous lie they forcefeed us on the news it's jammed down the throats of the entire world like it's the end of the world. All day and all night they feed the obsession that they have created within us by telling us over and over about all the bad things that are happening (which are more often than not either blatant lies, or strange manipulations of THEIR policy being blamed on others). Yes, I remember very clearly the Serbian "attack" on Kosovo and the NATO bombings that ensued. But, hmm... I don't seem to remember hearing too much about the CIA funding and training terrorist organizations there prior to that. I don't remember hearing about all the attacks on Serbian police and government offices in early 1998. I don't remember coverage of Serbian churches and other cultural artifacts (most of which were older than US, ALBANIA and NATO) being desecrated while UN troops stand by and "protect". What exactly is being protected there? All of the oldest artifacts in the place are Serbian, which means that it's history is Serbian which means IT is Serbian! And we are standing by while our governments support terrorist organizations to take control of it and then allow it's citizens to destroy all of it's history? So that we can re-write with our pen, and in the manner which is acceptable to us? <br /><br />If there was no interest in Kosovo, why were CIA and BND agents funding and training the KLA prior to the 1998 escalation in attacks on Serbian police and government offices throughout Kosovo? Why is US spending $350 M to build, and $50 M/yr to run a military base (Camp Bondsteel), which oddly enough resides next to a proposed Caspian Sea Oil Pipeline? <br /><br />Also, <br /><br />According to your proposal the US has NO interests anywhere. 80% of Americans could not find any other country other than their own on a map, therefore your theory has no bearing. This is not meant to be a slander or insult, this is sadly true. If it really pisses you off (or anyone else who is reading this) that much, grab a fucking map and go to the busiest place in your city and start asking people to find countries on a map for you trying to get 80% success. Good luck. <br /><br />Stop beleiving garbage news that are full of lies. Just because the next country that's on CNN is a place that Americans have never heard of and know nothing about doesn't mean that the CIA hasn't been planting their dirty seeds there for years. And it definately does not mean that there is no US interests there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-39923690474129743212009-12-10T03:33:27.617-05:002009-12-10T03:33:27.617-05:00Good Afternoon!!! 2164th.blogspot.com is one of th...Good Afternoon!!! 2164th.blogspot.com is one of the most outstanding resourceful websites of its kind.
