The Balkan Problem, Part 2b.
Who are the KLA?

Please see part 1, and part 2a

Time line for the Yugoslav Wars

“Ten years ago we were arming and equipping the worst elements of the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan – drug traffickers, arms smugglers, anti-American terrorists… Now we’re doing the same thing with the KLA, which is tied in with every known middle and far eastern drug cartel. Interpol, Europol, and nearly every European intelligence and counter-narcotics agency has files open on drug syndicates that lead right to the KLA, and right to Albanian gangs in this country.”

DEA agent and author Michael Levine
Quoted in the New American Magazine, May 24, 1999

[The] United States of America and the Kosovo Liberation Army stand for the same human values and principles … Fighting for the KLA is fighting for human rights and American values.”

Senator Jo. Lieberman, quoted in the ‘Washington Post’, 28 April 1999

“American intelligence agents have admitted they helped to train the Kosovo Liberation Army before NATO’s bombing of Yugoslavia”.

Tom Walker and Aiden Laverty, ‘CIA Aided Kosovo Guerrilla Army’, Sunday Times, 12 March 2000

In this part we will continue to explore the question of Did the US and NATO pick the wrong side in the Yugoslavian Wars, from part 2a? The last installment set up the large geopolitical framework to begin to answer the above question and attempted to bring forth reasons why the West got involved in what could have been seen as yet another Balkan fist fight. The main players in the Kosovo war were the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) and the Serbs. We have explored the Serbs in part 1, now we shall explore the KLA.

The caterwauling Western press gets the whole Kosovo/Serbia story wrong, just like in parts 1 and 2. They would have you believe the the Muslims and the KLA were oh so pure and being murdered in droves by the evil Serbs. The networks carried the same stories over and over again, the Clinton machine had the press in their pocket. The independent press lied to the American public yet again, they carried water for radical Muslims.

The Kosovo War ends after the US lead Nato bombing campaign cripples Serbia. President Clinton claimed it was to prevent genocide and ethnic cleansing. The Clinton Administration persuaded NATO, Germany and the UK to follow its lead in Yugoslavia. The West, pushed by Clinton sided with Expansionist Islamist over Christian Orthodox Serbs for political and Clinton Doctrine-place-in-history reasons. The West chose to support the KLA which was backed by the Muslim Ummah because the West did not want to deal with the possibility of Albanian Muslim refugees on their borders, and was naïve of the Islamic threat, especially the Americans do not realize that Islam had already declared war on them in the 1990’s. We did not realize this because we had set up radical Muslim networks to fight the Soviets. This is most evident in Afghanistan in the 1980′s. This support for the KLA is simply a continuation of established networks. The networks don’t necessarily fight the Soviets in the 1990′s, they are brought into the fight for the reasons stated above.

So who was it that we were supporting? Who are the KLA? The KLA, or the Ushtria Clirimtare E Kosoves (UCK), first appeared in Macedonia in 1992. Many members of KLA units are professionally trained, and include former Yugoslav army soldiers. The group functions very professionally underground, due in part to fact that some of its leaders are former members of UDBA [Internal State Security Service. Some are Muslims of mostly Albanian descent that were trained under the unified, pre-war Yugoslavian military, intelligence, and police services. Some come from the the Albanian Communist Party under Enver Hoxa and tend toward Maoism.
