NATO Imperial Bombing (1999)
Today's Golden Oldie is from March 29, 1999. On March 24, 1999, 5 days earlier, NATO planes had began bombing Yugoslavia. The attacks continued until June 10, 1999.It seemed to me that the American President (Clinton) was acting like an emperor. And he didn't even need the "fig leaf" of a UN resolution. So I drew the President as an imperial Roman statue, with a sword in one hand and the media in the other. The nude statue, it was implied, wore no "fig leaf".Today, in another March, another American President has chosen to intervene in another civil war by again using NATO to bomb another government into submission! . . . but today's President is trying to cover his imperial decision with the flimsy and phony fig leaves of both the UN and the Arab League.Labels: America, Clinton, Gaddafi, Libya, NATO, Obama, UN, United Nations, Yugoslavia

He is skipping the "fig leaf" of congressional approval.
The bombing of Serbia was a big mistake.
The Serbs rightfully owned that land. Kosovo was filled with Albanians by the Commies who wanted to redistribute the population, stop ethnic nationalism and all that.
And they spilled their guts stopping the Ottomans in 1389 to save Europe at Kosovo.
Ahh, Obama. He'll send Americans to bomb Libya's leadership to "protect innocent civilians" yet the same person takes no action in the Sudan where "innocent civilians" have been massacred for years. Will he send in Americans to bomb Syria's leadership? How about Yemen, whose president is on the US payroll? The incumbent at 1600 Pennsylvania has more faces than a Hydra.
I think your most correct point is that the news decided who the bad guys were....

The Palestinians rightfully owned that land. Palestine was filled with Jews by the Europeans who wanted to relocate the Jewish population outside of Europe.
The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism.
For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.
Zahir Muhsein, PLO.
The Fraud that is Palestine.
