Bolton: US Kosovo Recognition a Serious Mistake

John Bolton, former US Undersecretary of State and Ambassador to the United Nations, told Russian news agency Interfax on Thursday that the US recognition of severed Kosovo province was a serious mistake, leading to an escalation of tensions, instead of calming down the situation in the Balkans.

“American public has no specific stand regarding Kosovo status. This was done by the US State Department, while others paid no attention”, Bolton said in response to the question why have United States supported severing of the southern Serbian province, adding that “support to the independence of Kosovo is an atavism that might have made sense 15 years ago, but makes no sense today.”

Yeah, There’s a “Consensus” Alright — Nobody Knows Where Kosovo is

To the journalist’s remark that, in contrast to Europe, no one talks about this issue in US and that he was told in State Department that “there is a consensus in American public” about recognizing unilateral declaration of independence by the Pristina separatists, Bolton noted that diaspora Serbs who are living in States are trying to draw public attention to this issue, and that the so-called “consensus boils down to the fact that nobody knows where Kosovo is”.

“This is a clear example of the State Department policy from the beginning to the end”, American diplomat said.

He explained that the US policy toward Serbia was on an automatic pilot since the time Slobodan Milosevic had been in power, when the US supported everyone who was against him, but the situation had significantly changed when a democratic government came to power in Belgrade.

Because of Kosovo province problem, the democratic forces in Serbia are under a great pressure and the unnecessary risk of an escalation of violence in the region is growing, Bolton said.

“Serbs in Bosnia will say: If Kosovo can break off from Serbia, why can’t we break off from Bosnia, and the democrats will say: What is going on here — we are striving towards Europe, we are defending the democratic values and this is the kind of reward we get in return!”, said Bolton, a member of the American Enterprise Institute, a Republican Party think-tank.

Poor KLosovars

Albanian Krenar Lusha, first an illegal immigrant in Serbia (Kosovo-Metohija province), then in UK, where he arrived smuggled by an Albanian gang on a back of a truck, has been jailed for seven years by the British authorities for terrorism.

According to the police sources, his claim for asylum on the grounds that he was a "Kosovan in fear of persecution by the Serbian authorities", was rejected by the UK authorities, but Britain has provided him with a 100% mortgage for a £93,000 home, UK driving licence and a cushy £30,000-a-year job, allowing him to spend his free time learning how to turn a mobile phone into a bomb trigger, where to place the landmines, how to field-strip an AK-47 automatic rifle and, in general, to muse about killing Jews and Americans.

Srebrenica: Muslim Commander

Srebrenica: Victims of execution or fighters killed in battle?

In my battalion, out of 320 soldiers, 280 died during the war. What did we fight for? I know that they are now trying to humiliate people from Srebrenica and spread rumors that we supposedly did not fight and were slain while running away from Srebrenica. No one can deny that in the Srebrenica municipality there are 2,000 buried fighters. No one can deny that we set up a large free territory. However, without assistance from outside we could not hold out for long surrounded by the enemy. You can write that I absolutely support the statement by Hakija Meholjic that we were betrayed.

All the lies and fabrications

The trial of Radovan Karadzic in The Hague, which has been stalled by the former Bosnian Serb leader's refusal to show up in court, is likely to be used by the West to justify NATO's current policy of "humanitarian intervention."

At a time when the NATO-led operation in Afghanistan is becoming increasingly unpopular in countries which have committed troops to this theatre of war, Western officials are likely to propagate the generally accepted notion - created by Western governments to cover up the real, geo-political motives for their involvement in the Yugoslav civil war - that it was NATO intervention which ended the Bosnian war and put an end to Karadzic's "genocidal policies."

However, as the case of Iraq has shown, the West has no compunction in fabricating a story for its own self-gain.

Orwell’s Century

It took 25 years longer than George Orwell thought for the slogans of 1984 to become reality.

“War is Peace,” “Freedom is Slavery,” “Ignorance is Strength.”

I would add, “Lie is Truth.”

The Nobel Committee has awarded the 2009 Peace Prize to President Obama, the person who started a new war in Pakistan, upped the war in Afghanistan, and continues to threaten Iran with attack unless Iran does what the US government demands and relinquishes its rights as a signatory to the non-proliferation treaty.
