ACTION:

Please contact national media outlets and ask why they did not cover the June 5 march on the Pentagon, and why they have sidelined
anti-war activists since the start of the bombing.

WE NEED TO MOBILIZE TO PREVENT A
NEW ATTACK ON YUGOSLAVIA
– THIS ONE ON CAPITOL HILL
ECAW (Emergency Committee Against the War in Yugoslavia)


Tuesday night anti-war lobbyists Joe Cafasso and Dave Vorich
learned that a Serb-punishing amendment had been tacked onto
the Senate Defense Appropriations bill. The NICKLES
AMENDMENT NO. 551 states:

None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made
available by this or any other act may be made
available for reconstruction activities in the
Republic of Serbia (excluding the province of
Kosovo) as long as Slobodan Milosevic remains
the President of the Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia.

Mobilized through the Internet, today an army of people,
opposed to what the NATO has done to Yugoslavia, got to
work. Congress was inundated with calls against this
amendment. Lobbyist Cofasso said he never saw anything like
it.
Now we need to do more. The House votes on its own
Defense Appropriations Bill, probably Friday. We need to
make sure:

1) Nothing like the Nickles amendment gets attached;
2) The Nickles Amendment is removed when the House and
Senate bills are reconciled (that is, made the same) in
Conference.

The U.S. Government is conducting an illegal and savage war
against a country which attacked no one. Let's mobilize
EVERYONE who hates this war to call his or her Congressmen
and make ourselves clear:

The U.S. has created and continues to create humanitarian
catastrophes by its bombing throughout Yugoslavia. Pres.
Clinton admitted in his NY Times op ed piece that civilian
targets were hit deliberately to pressure the population to get
the government to accede to U.S. demands.

Having set no limits on the destruction of civil life how can this
government now set civil limits on reconstruction? Tell them
we want this attack STOPPED and we want NO LIMITS on
money to repay this terrible debt. Therefore ALL language
limiting money for reconstruction of Yugoslavia MUST be kept
out of the House bill and eliminated from the final, joint
House-Senate bill.

We had a battalion of callers today. Let's make it an army
tomorrow.

KOSOVO: Post-peace plan


Just as the Vietnam War was an albatross around the neck of Lyndon
Johnson, the Yugoslav bombing campaign is taking its toll on Bill Clinton. If
the elusive peace agreement finally is final, it may not get any better.

Over the weekend, thousands of protesters marched on the Pentagon,
calling for the abolition of NATO and an end to the war. President Clinton
was branded a war criminal and urged to send his daughter to fight.

A series of protests are scheduled across the nation tomorrow, meanwhile.

As a young war protester, Clinton criticized LBJ. Now he is LBJ.

The polls bear more bad news.

A Washington Post survey, taken over the weekend, shows fewer than half
of all Americans think the United States should have gotten involved in the
war, and a plurality says American ''peacekeepers'' should stay out.

Of course, the latest breakthrough may make war protests a moot point.
But, for Clinton, peace will mean trading one set of problems for another.

First and foremost, he must decide whether to reinvent his goal in Kosovo.

Originally, he sought autonomy. But his allies, the Kosovo Liberation Army,
still demand independence.

Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, addressing the issue while
accompanied by a group of ethnic Albanians on Monday, said, ''We are not
here to take anyone's dreams away.''

If the president grants Kosovo independence, U.S. troops will have to be
there indefinitely to defend the new state's borders against the Serbs - who
have claimed Kosovo for centuries.

But if not, he will have to come to grips with his promise to disarm the KLA.
That won't be easy. The KLA is brimming with weapons, bought with profits
from a lucrative prostitution and international narcotics smuggling racket, and
it wants to keep them.

If faced with a NATO ultimatum to give them up, a KLA spokesman said
Monday, the guerrillas probably would hide them in Albania.

Guess what might happen later, if the KLA isn't happy with NATO rule?

Clinton also will be asked to explain why he chose to ally himself, in effect,
with terrorist Osama bin Laden.

Bin Laden has been indicted for the U.S. Embassy bombings that killed
more than 200 people in Africa. He is on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list.
While Clinton has given the KLA air cover, he has provided training and
outside soldiers dedicated to establishing a radical Islamic state in Kosovo.

The president also will be asked whether NATO was vicious or merely inept
when it bombed hospitals, health centers, schools, apartment complexes and
retirement homes, killing perhaps 1,300 innocent Yugoslav citizens.

If the United States itself was in danger, no one would object to killing
civilians. But that was not the case. Yugoslavia did not threaten any other
country, even after it was attacked.

The president also will need to address the problem of ethnic Serbs in
Kosovo. After enduring many years of ethnic cleansing by the KLA -
bombings, beatings and shootings - few are left. What will happen when the
KLA resumes its brutal ways against those who remain behind?

In his farewell address, George Washington warned against involvement in
European wars. Astute advice.

War Ends! All Hell Breaks Loose!

Now that there's peace in the Balkans, foreign leaders are panic-stricken over who Bill Clinton will bomb next. As George
Stephanopoulos numbly announced in his weepy confessional, All Too Human, "Bombing polled well. Ground troops didn't."
So no more peaceful sleeps for Saddam. No more happy-go-lucky night shifts at aspirin factories. Time to tune-up our
remaining cruise missiles, 'cuz Slick Willey has some front pages to fill.

No way Chinagate will get any coverage. Wind-up Hillary and send her off to New York. Blast away anywhere in Iraq, Iran,
New Jersey, wherever. Hey, if it helps the effort, our boy will have another affair or three. But he'll be damned if Bill Gertz or
Jeff Gerth get an article above the fold before Al Gore slithers back in to the White House.

These are the marching orders. It's going to be tough. There's much to push off the front pages. Just wait until the pictures in
Kosovo start streaming in. No where to live. No running water, no food, no nothing. Those pictures cannot be the lead on the
evening news. Nor can Hillary's sinking poll numbers, or Al's for that matter. Better get crackin'!

Web Hubbell's trial is on the horizon. The cost of the war to social security is being tabulated. Senate hearings on Renogate are
about to get underway. Senate Republicans are gonna get medeival on Sandy Berger's butt.

I can hear the clanking of the armor. James Carville and friends are putting back on their gear. The war against the Serbs may
have ended, but the assault on the adversarial press has just begun.

DEFANG THE KLA TODAY OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES TOMORROW

Some of the same Whiz Kids who helped put our country into the Serbian frying pan are continuing to spin out harebrained
schemes, trying to improve on their burnt offering. Sources say these Ivy college airheads are now chewing on the idea that the
United States should quietly train, arm and equip the Kosovo Liberation Army.

Arming the KLA would be like providing Special Forces demolition training to any remaining members of Oklahoma bomber
Timothy McVeigh's terrorist gang. In February 1998, Robert Gelbard, Clinton's envoy for Kosovo, said that the KLA "is,
without any questions, a terrorist group." Intelligence folks say Gelbard's assessment is dead on the money. The KLA's
leadership and ranks are filled with radicals, Islamic crazies and heavy haters who are as responsible as Milosevic's worst thugs
for thecatastrophe visited on the tormented people of Yugoslavia.

International cops say the KLA includes global drug dealers and arms smugglers who've been in bed with the Albanian Mafia
for years. The lawmen report that profits from these shady deals armed the KLA and financed their guerrilla attacks on the
Serbian police, military and the residents of Kosovo - terrorist assaults that along with Serbian brutality certainly helped trigger
the shootout in Yugoslavia in the first place.

Intelligence reports that some KLA members were trained by international bomber Osama bin Laden's outfit and that radical
members of the KLA, which is now trying to pose as a legitimate army, have sworn they'll go down shooting rather than give up
their guns.

Recently Croatian General Agim Ceku became the head of the KLA. While with the Croatian Army, his killing skills were
spiffed up by the U.S. mercenary group Military Professional Resources Inc. - a rent-an-American-soldier enterprise led by a
cash-starved retired U.S. Army four-star general.

In 1995, Gen. Ceku was a player in Operation Storm, a covert Clinton-backed and MPRI-trained Croatian military operation
that ethnically cleansed 200,000 Serbs from their homes in Croatia, killing thousands of civilians.

Since taking over the KLA, Ceku has purged all of its moderates. If a KLA member was a supporter of Ibrahim Rugova, the
exiled "president" of Kosovo who for the past decade has pursued a Gandhi-like nonviolence policy in the troubled province,
he was toast. Rugova's peaceful approach is not welcomed by a KLA that's into violently overthrowing the Serbia regime in
Kosovo.

On the Kosovo battlefield, the KLA has been clobbered by the more heavily armed Serbs in every major fight - even though
NATO functioned as its dedicated air force.

During the latter phase of the war, the KLA's operations have been reduced to small teams operating as snipers, conducting
ambushes and spotting for NATO bombers. These fumbling greenhorns aren't capable of more complex tasks because the
KLA is more of a mob than a trained fighting unit. While they have a lot of warm bodies, perhaps as many as 17,000, they
have few savvy leaders and their ranks are filled mainly with recruits. Untrained recruits augmented with cutthroats don't make
an army. Only well-led, well- trained, well-equipped and well-disciplined soldiers can be molded into effective fighting teams.
And this is not done with a wave of a magic wand. It takes about ten years of sweat and hard work to organize, train and field
an effective Army from the get-go.

Contrary to the Whiz Kids' schemes and dreams, there's no such thing as an instant army.

Short-term solutions frequently backfire. U.S. Marines and U.S. Army soldiers who'll walk the dangerous peacekeeping beat in
Kosovo shouldn't have American-trained-and-armed terrorists attacking them from the shadows.

Once again, as with the 1990s Afghanistan War, we may find ourselves relearning the hard lesson that yesterday's freedom
fighters can easily become tomorrow's terrorists. America has a long history of training and arming the Manuel Noriegas and
Saddam Husseins only to have their soldiers kill ours when they're no longer our favorite thugs.

So the civilian lap top commandos must stop playing Oliver North and give up on the wrongheaded idea of supporting the
KLA on the sly.

Secret armies composed of wild-eyed thugs and idealistic kids don't work. The KLA must be disarmed, or American
peacekeepers will pay a price in the minefields of Kosovo.

MAJA,
Do you even read what you post? Or do you just glance at it and see it is anti-NATO and post it?
You have already posted it once, here was my comments on it.

The lawmen report that profits from these shady deals armed the KLA and financed their guerrilla attacks on the Serbian police, military and the residents of Kosovo - terrorist assaults that along with Serbian brutality[BOTH SIDES ARE EQUALLY GUILTY OF CRIMES.] certainly helped trigger the shootout in Yugoslavia in the first place.

Intelligence[WHOSE MAJA? YOURS? LOL!] reports that some KLA members were trained by international bomber Osama bin Laden's outfit and that radical members of the KLA, which is now trying to pose as a legitimate army, have sworn they'll go down shooting rather than give up
their guns.

Recently Croatian General Agim Ceku became the head of the KLA. While with the Croatian Army, his killing skills were spiffed up by the U.S. mercenary group Military Professional Resources Inc. - a rent-an-American-soldier enterprise led by a cash-starved retired U.S. Army four-star general.

In 1995, Gen. Ceku was a player in Operation Storm, a covert Clinton-backed[WHO SAID THIS? WHERE IS THE REFERENCE MAJA?] and MPRI-trained Croatian military operation that ethnically cleansed 200,000 Serbs from their homes in Croatia, killing thousands of civilians.

Since taking over the KLA, Ceku has purged all of its moderates. If a KLA member was a supporter of Ibrahim Rugova, the exiled "president" of Kosovo who for the past decade has pursued a Gandhi-like nonviolence policy in the troubled province,
he was toast. Rugova's peaceful approach is not welcomed by a KLA that's into violently Overthrowing the Serbia regime in Kosovo.

On the Kosovo battlefield, the KLA has been clobbered by the more heavily armed Serbs in every major fight - even though
NATO functioned as its dedicated air force.

During the latter phase of the war, the KLA's operations have been reduced to small teams operating as snipers, conducting
ambushes and spotting for NATO bombers[SURE, WHY NOT USE THEM AS SPOTTERS? THEY ARE THERE AND THEY WANT TO HELP NATO.IF YOU WANT TO SPOT FOR NATO MAJA, THEY WILL LET YOU.] These fumbling greenhorns aren't capable of more complex tasks because the KLA is more of a mob than a trained fighting unit. While they have a lot of warm bodies, perhaps as many as 17,000, they have few savvy leaders and their ranks are filled mainly with recruits. Untrained recruits[WHO ONLY WANT THE SERBS TO STOP KILLING THEIR FAMILIES.] augmented with cutthroats don't make
an army. Only well-led, well- trained, well-equipped and well-disciplined soldiers can be molded into effective fighting teams.
And this is not done with a wave of a magic wand. It takes about ten years of sweat and hard work to organize, train and field an effective Army from the get-go.[GIVE ME A BREAK MAJA. IT ONLY TAKES ABOUT 4-6 MONTHS TO CHANGE AN "UNTRAINED RECRUIT" INTO A WELL TRAINED SOLDIER.]

Contrary to the Whiz Kids' schemes and dreams, there's no such thing as an instant army. [SURE THERE IS. THEY ARE CALLED REVOLUTIONARY ARMYS.]

Short-term solutions frequently backfire. U.S. Marines and U.S. Army soldiers who'll walk the dangerous peacekeeping beat in Kosovo shouldn't have American-trained-and-armed terrorists [OR REVOLUTIONARIES] attacking them from the shadows.

Once again, as with the 1990s Afghanistan War, we may find ourselves relearning the hard lesson that yesterday's freedom fighters[GOOD TERM TO USE HERE MAJA.] can easily become tomorrow's terrorists. America has a long history of training and arming the Manuel Noriegas and
Saddam Husseins only to have their soldiers kill ours [OURS? ARE YOU AN AMERICAN NOW?]when they're no longer our[YOU ARE AN AMERICAN!] favorite thugs.[YES. WE DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT THEM. WE JUST USE THEM AND THROW THEM AWAY.]

So the civilian lap top commandos must stop playing Oliver North and give up on the wrongheaded idea of supporting the
KLA on the sly.[NOT SUPPORTING. USING.]

Secret armies composed of wild-eyed thugs and idealistic kids don't work.[DUH! RED HISTORY MAJA. GOVERNMENTS HAVE BEEN OVERTHROWN, OR BROUGHT TO THEIR KNEES BY GROUPS LIKE THESE MORE TIMES THAN CAN BE COUNTED.] The KLA must be disarmed,[READ THE ARTICLE I POSTED THE OTHER DAY, WHERE SOME KLA MEMBERS SAID THEY WOULD NOT GIVE UP THEIR ARMS, AND THE NATO REPRESENATIVES TOLD THE KLA THEY WOULD BE SHOT JUST LIKE ANY ARMED SERB WOULD BE.] or American peacekeepers will pay a price in the minefields of Kosovo.

P.S. Maja,please supply us with the references to support your claims. If this is not your writing, and it is from one of those opinion articles in a USA newspaper, then surely you must see they are opinions and not facts. They are sensationalized, like the "National Enquirer", in order to provoke a response from the readers, thereby insuring their notoriety or popularity {Same thing.} and continued publication. They are not based on facts, only speculations and opinions.
If this your writing, then you are a liar for telling us you are a Slovenian.

emina,


"covering" something on the 'net isn't the kind of "coverage" the lady was crticizing the lack of by the national media. in america, and i suppose everywhere else, one still needs access to the internet to begin with; i dont know the stats but most americans still dont have that access.


as opposed to, say, media coverage of vietnam-era protests, of which there was plenty on the nightly news and in the papers, this protest came and went with nary a peep. no accident there.

MONTENEGRO LEADER ATTACKS MILOSEVIC, WANTS
CHANGE
Posted Thursday, June 10, 1999 - 04:56 EDT by MNNews
COLOGNE, Germany (Reuters) - The president of
beleaguered Montenegro on Wednesday described
Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic as an anachronism
who followed ``quarrelsome and arrogant'' policies.
The mountain republic, dissident partner in the Yugoslav
federation, could give logistical support to a Kosovo peace
force with a U.N. mandate, President Milo Djukanovic also
told a news conference with U.S. Secretary of State
Madeleine Albright.

Djukanovic, a constant critic of Milosevic despite Serbian
pressure on his government during the Kosovo conflict, said
he expected the confrontation between the two
governments to continue while Milosevic stays in power.

``As long as Milosevic is present in the political life of
Yugoslavia, his pressures on the democratic government in
Montenegro will not cease,'' he said.

``Milosevic is a politician who belongs to the past ... I hope
that after all this agony he has put the Serbian people
through, they too have such an opinion of him.

``I hope that in the near future they will know how to elect
a democratic leader,'' he added.

Once the Kosovo conflict ends, Montenegro expects
Milosevic to cancel his declaration of a state of war in
Yugoslavia, reduce the Yugoslav presence to peace-time
levels and withdraw Yugoslav forces from the Montenegrin
port of Bar.

MONTENEGRO OPENS ITS ARMS TO PEACEKEEPERS
Posted Thursday, June 10, 1999 - 03:48 EDT by MNNews
Paris, Thursday, June 10, 1999
By Steven Mufson Washington Post Service

COLOGNE - Milo Djukanovic, the 37-year-old president
of the tiny Yugoslav republic of Montenegro, on Wednesday
offered his port and territory for international peacekeeping
forces to use to support operations in Kosovo.
Montenegro would give the international military forces an
easier route to Kosovo than the mountainous routes through
Albania
or Macedonia. The presence of international forces would
provide a
degree of protection for Mr. Djukanovic's multiethnic,
democratically elected coalition government, which has
refused to provide recruits for the Yugoslav army and has
provided a refuge for opponents of President Slobodan
Milosevic and the target of harassment by his Yugoslav
federal troops.
But one potential obstacle looms before international forces
taking up Mr. Djukanovic's offer: Yugoslav troops currently
occupy
the Montenegrin port of Bar and are blocking many of the
border crossings between Montenegro and the rest of
Yugoslavia.
But Mr. Djukanovic, a Serb, said at a news conference with
U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright in Cologne that
he
assumed that, with the end of the war in Kosovo, Yugoslav
forces would withdraw to their barracks and ''do the things
they are supposed to do under the constitution.''
Mr. Djukanovic's appearance with Mrs. Albright was just the
latest display of international support for the Montenegrin,
whom Mrs.
Albright called ''a shining example of what is possible'' in
Serbia. Mr.Djukanovic's republic has received about $40
million in U.S. aid.
He and Mrs. Albright spoke for more than an hour, focusing
especially on Mr. Djukanovic's analysis of the political
situation
in Yugoslavia, a U.S. official said.
A senior U.S. State Department official said Washington
would reopen in the Montenegrin capital a diplomatic office
that it had
moved to Dubrovnik after the war began.
But if Mr. Milosevic plans to hang on to power, his tangling
with Mr.
Djukanovic might not be over. Yugoslav troops have been
pressuring
Montenegrin police forces loyal to Mr. Djukanovic for many
weeks.
Mr. Djukanovic, who called Mr. Milosevic ''a politician who
belongs to the past,'' said he would not speak in terms of
''whether Yugoslavia has won or lost.'' Rather, he said,
''What has lost is a quarrelsome, arrogant policy personified
by Mr. Milosevic. I think that Yugoslavia will gain because
peace will be restored in our country.''
Despite differences between Montenegro and Belgrade,Mr.
Djukanovic reiterated that he did not seek to split off from
the Yugoslav Republic.

CROATIAN NEWSMAN HOME AFTER EVADING YUGO
CAPTORS
Posted Thursday, June 10, 1999 - 04:44 EDT by MNNews
ZAGREB, Croatia (Reuters) -- Croatian reporter Antun
Masle, who was detained by the Yugoslav army on
espionage charges in April, has arrived in Croatia after
escaping his guards, his magazine said on Wednesday.

"Masle has crossed into Croatia and is in a safe place now,"
an official at Globus weekly told Reuters in a first
confirmation of Masle's whereabouts since his escape on
Sunday. The official could not immediately give any more
details.

Masle, a seasoned war reporter, was seized by Yugoslav
soldiers on April 20 while crossing from Albania into
Montenegro. He was accused of spying and put in
preventive custody ahead of a possible trial before a military
court.

He faced at least 10 years in prison if found guilty.

While details of his escape remained sketchy, Montenegrin
independent daily Vijesti said Masle had managed to evade
two officers late on Sunday night and escape from
Podgorica's main hospital, where he had been taken after
complaining of severe stomach pains.

Would you people, tell us something from your own head or not. This is the main idea of this board. All you are doing is 'cut and paste' some articles from newspapers. This goes to all those who are able to think with own brains. (Not included are Maja,Nick and Daniela). Don't bother about them...they will never be 'wrong'. They are always 'right'. There is nothing to do...we can only laught and let them be happy in 'Serbian Victory'.
But there where not enough Serbs killed to stop the violence on Balkan....Next target is MonteNegro...then Vojvodina......at the end Serbia-self...First True civil war in former Yugoslavia.

Georg

Sorry Georg, but when I post my own ideas I wind up pissed off and degrade myself into name calling like Nick, Maja, etc.
I do have a question though.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why the Russians would move in early like they are doing?
