In 1999, the Clinton administration launched a 78-day bombing campaign that killed up to 1500 civilians in Serbia and Kosovo in what the American media proudly portrayed as a crusade against ethnic bias. That war, like most of the pretenses of U.S. foreign policy, was always a sham.<\/p>\n<p>Kosovo President Hashim Thaci was charged with ten counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity by an international tribunal in The Hague in the Netherlands. It charged Thaci and nine other men with \u201cwar crimes, including murder, enforced disappearance of persons, persecution, and torture.\u201d Thaci and the other charged suspects were accused of being \u201ccriminally responsible for nearly 100 murders\u201d and the indictment involved \u201chundreds of known victims of Kosovo Albanian, Serb, Roma, and other ethnicities and include political opponents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hashim Thaci\u2019s tawdry career illustrates how anti-terrorism is a flag of convenience for Washington policymakers. Prior to becoming Kosovo\u2019s president, Thaci was the head of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), fighting to force Serbs out of Kosovo. In 1999, the Clinton administration designated the KLA as \u201cfreedom fighters\u201d despite their horrific past and gave them massive aid. The previous year, the State Department condemned \u201cterrorist action by the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army.\u201d The KLA was heavily involved in drug trafficking and had close to ties to Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n<p>But arming the KLA and bombing Serbia helped Clinton portray himself as a crusader against injustice and shift public attention after his impeachment trial. Clinton was aided by many shameless members of Congress anxious to sanctify U.S. killing. Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CN) whooped that the United States and the KLA \u201cstand for the same values and principles. Fighting for the KLA is fighting for human rights and American values.\u201d And since Clinton administration officials publicly compared Serb leader Slobodan Milo\u0161evi\u0107 to Hitler, every decent person was obliged to applaud the bombing campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Both the Serbs and ethnic Albanians committed atrocities in the bitter strife in Kosovo. But to sanctify its bombing campaign, the Clinton administration waved a magic wand and made the KLA\u2019s atrocities disappear. British professor Philip Hammond noted that the 78-day bombing campaign \u201cwas not a purely military operation: NATO also destroyed what it called \u2018dual-use\u2019 targets, such as factories, city bridges, and even the main television building in downtown Belgrade, in an attempt to terrorize the country into surrender.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NATO repeatedly dropped cluster bombs into marketplaces, hospitals, and other civilian areas. Cluster bombs are anti-personnel devices designed to be scattered across enemy troop formations. NATO dropped more than 1,300 cluster bombs on Serbia and Kosovo and each bomb contained 208 separate bomblets that floated to earth by parachute. Bomb experts estimated that more than 10,000 unexploded bomblets were scattered around the landscape when the bombing ended and maimed children long after the ceasefire.<\/p>\n<p>In the final days of the bombing campaign, the <em>Washington Post <\/em>reported that \u201csome presidential aides and friends are describing Kosovo in Churchillian tones, as Clinton\u2019s \u2018finest hour.\u2019\u201d The <em>Post <\/em>also reported that according to one Clinton friend \u201cwhat Clinton believes were the unambiguously moral motives for NATO\u2019s intervention represented a chance to soothe regrets harbored in Clinton\u2019s own conscience\u2026The friend said Clinton has at times lamented that the generation before him was able to serve in a war with a plainly noble purpose, and he feels \u2018almost cheated\u2019 that \u2018when it was his turn he didn\u2019t have the chance to be part of a moral cause.\u2019\u201d By Clinton\u2019s standard, slaughtering Serbs was \u201cclose enough for government work\u201d to a \u201cmoral cause.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after the end of the 1999 bombing campaign, Clinton enunciated what his aides labeled the Clinton doctrine: \u201cWhether within or beyond the borders of a country, if the world community has the power to stop it, we ought to stop genocide and ethnic cleansing.\u201d In reality, the Clinton doctrine was that presidents are entitled to commence bombing foreign lands based on any brazen lie that the American media will regurgitate. In reality, the lesson from bombing Serbia is that American politicians merely need to publicly recite the word \u201cgenocide\u201d to get a license to kill.<\/p>\n<p>After the bombing ended, Clinton assured the Serbian people that the United States and NATO agreed to be peacekeepers only \u201cwith the understanding that they would protect Serbs as well as ethnic Albanians and that they would leave when peace took hold.\u201d In the subsequent months and years, American and NATO forces stood by as the KLA resumed its ethnic cleansing, slaughtering Serb civilians, bombing Serbian churches and oppressing any non-Muslims. Almost a quarter-million Serbs, Gypsies, Jews, and other minorities fled Kosovo after Mr. Clinton promised to protect them. By 2003, almost 70 percent of the Serbs living in Kosovo in 1999 had fled, and Kosovo was 95 percent ethnic Albanian.<\/p>\n<p>But Thaci remained useful for U.S. policymakers. Even though he was widely condemned for oppression and corruption after taking power in Kosovo, Vice President Joe Biden hailed Thaci in 2010 as the \u201cGeorge Washington of Kosovo.\u201d A few months later, a Council of Europe report accused Thaci and KLA operatives of human organ trafficking. <em>The Guardian<\/em> noted that the report alleged that Thaci\u2019s inner circle \u201ctook captives across the border into Albania after the war, where a number of Serbs are said to have been murdered for their kidneys, which were sold on the black market.\u201d The report stated that when \u201ctransplant surgeons\u201d were \u201cready to operate, the [Serbian] captives were brought out of the \u2018safe house\u2019 individually, summarily executed by a KLA gunman, and their corpses transported swiftly to the operating clinic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the body trafficking charge, Thaci was a star attendee at the annual Global Initiative conference by the Clinton Foundation in 2011, 2012, and 2013, where he posed for photos with Bill Clinton. Maybe that was a perk from the $50,000 a month lobbying contract that Thaci\u2019s regime signed with The Podesta Group, co-managed by future Hillary Clinton campaign manager John Podesta, as the <em>Daily Caller <\/em>reported.<\/p>\n<p>Clinton remains a hero in Kosovo where a statue of him was erected in the capital, Pristina. The <em>Guardian <\/em>newspaper noted that the statue showed Clinton \u201cwith a left hand raised, a typical gesture of a leader greeting the masses. In his right hand he is holding documents engraved with the date when NATO started the bombardment of Serbia, 24 March 1999.\u201d It would have been a more accurate representation to depict Clinton standing on a pile of corpses of the women, children, and others killed in the U.S. bombing campaign.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, Bill Clinton and his fanatically pro-bombing former Secretary of State, Madeline Albright, visited Pristina, where they were \u201ctreated like rock stars\u201d as they posed for photos with Thaci. Clinton declared, \u201cI love this country and it will always be one of the greatest honors of my life to have stood with you against ethnic cleansing (by Serbian forces) and for freedom.\u201d Thaci awarded Clinton and Albright medals of freedom \u201cfor the liberty he brought to us and the peace to entire region.\u201d Albright has reinvented herself as a visionary warning against fascism in the Trump era. Actually, the only honorific that Albright deserves is \u201cButcher of Belgrade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clinton\u2019s war on Serbia was a Pandora\u2019s box from which the world still suffers.<\/strong> Because politicians and most of the media portrayed the war against Serbia as a moral triumph, it was easier for the Bush administration to justify attacking Iraq, for the Obama administration to bomb Libya, and for the Trump administration to repeatedly bomb Syria. All of those interventions sowed chaos that continues cursing the purported beneficiaries.<\/p>\n<p>Bill Clinton\u2019s 1999 bombing of Serbia was as big a fraud as George W. Bush\u2019s conning this nation into attacking Iraq. The fact that Clinton and other top U.S. government officials continued to glorify Hashim Thaci despite accusations of mass murder, torture, and body trafficking is another reminder of the venality of much of America\u2019s political elite. Will Americans again be gullible the next time that Washington policymakers and their media allies concoct bullshit pretexts to blow the hell out of some hapless foreign land?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Libertarian Institute, June 26, 2020 Kosovo Indictment Proves Bill Clinton\u2019s Serbian War Atrocities by James Bovard President Bill Clinton\u2019s favorite freedom fighter just got indicted for mass murder, torture, kidnapping, and other crimes against humanity.
