Three weeks into the U.S.-NATO war on Serbia, I still haven’t heard a
single explanation of this conflict that makes sense.
Why would Clinton do it? Why would NATO allies go along with the
plan? What can be gained from these attacks?
The so-called “humanitarian” rationalization doesn’t compute. As
reported in WorldNetDaily,
the CIA warned prior to the bombing raids that the Albanian refugee
crisis would only worsen as a result of such attacks.
I strongly suspect that the Serb war was intended, in part, as a
smokescreen for the growing Chinagate scandal. But even that explanation
is inadequate for entering a game as dangerous as the Balkans quagmire.
What do I mean? Well, Russian military maneuvers signal that this
conflict, with one more misstep, could easily ignite World War III. Then
there was the report in the Washington Times last Friday by Bill Gertz
suggesting the Serbs possess enough nuclear materials to manufacture
primitive strategic weapons of mass destruction.
A retired explosive ordnance disposal technician for the U.S. Air
Force tells me that such “radioactive dispersal devices” are “the
government’s worst nightmare for domestic and international terrorism
threats.”
“Thorium is used in the manufacture of lantern mantles for companies
like Coleman,” he reports. “Thorium is a very high ‘alpha emitter.’ You
take a case of lantern mantles and add a dispersal device such as a
sprayer or stick of explosive or even make a 6th grade science class
soda pop bomb from dry ice and water. Add the lantern mantles to the mix
and when it explodes, it will contaminate the area with alpha radiation.
When you consider that such items as smoke detectors have radioactive
sources such as Americium and old x-ray machines are dumped with at
least a pound of Cesium scrap left in them, then you get an idea of how
easy the devices are to build. A skyscraper in New York City would be a
perfect launch point for using one of these because it would cover a
greater area and denser population.”
But our expert adds: “I don’t think the Serbs are willing to waste
weapons grade material for such a small potential target or limited use
when they actually have the amount they are reported to have.”
In other words, the Serbs could do much more than build a few “dirty
nukes.”
But, could they deliver them to a strategic target? You bet.
In fact, recently, a high-placed source tells me, members of Congress
received a classified briefing strongly suggesting the Serbs have
inter-continental ballistic missiles capable of hitting the United
States. I will repeat that: The Serbs have ICBMs capable of hitting the
U.S.
U.S. intelligence agencies assume Belgrade has this capability thanks
to technology left behind from the old Soviet Union. In other words, the
U.S. and NATO are tangling with a rogue nation that might just be able
to wipe out a U.S. city or two if they really get angry enough.
Are you beginning to see why this illegal, immoral war is more than a
little misguided? Each day this criminal action proceeds it becomes more
obvious that Woodstock was better planned than the conflict in Serbia.
Clinton is literally gambling with the lives of millions in a senseless
escalation of hostilities in a land that has seldom known real peace in
the last 600-plus years.
This is the 33rd foreign military adventure Clinton has engaged in
since taking office in 1993. Serbia is the fourth nation he has bombed
in the last seven months. Bill Clinton is rapidly becoming the mad
bomber. Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, now Serbia. Who’s next?
In Serbia, Clinton has substantially ratcheted up the risks for the
U.S. There was little chance of getting our butts kicked in Afghanistan,
Sudan or Iraq. But Serbia is tough, well-armed and backed by some
powerful friends.
Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., says the deployment of ground troops has
already begun. Some 4,800 soldiers are being dispatched to staging areas
in Albania in support of Apache helicopters. Up to 33,000 guard and
reserve troops are being activated. Meanwhile, Clinton is warning this
is going to be a long and bloody conflict.
The question remains: Why?
It’s time for Congress to put aside its reflexive instinct to support
presidential military initiatives wherever and whenever they occur. It’s
time for some thought, some analysis, some reflection, some backbone,
some decisiveness.
This is madness. Clinton must be stopped. Now.
