Reasons for Kosovo War

[gene_parrish]

I have been thinking about the article that Nonson posted about the Kosovo Mines.

From the following excerpt of that article I have thought about possibably the Yugosalvia is the only eastern country that has not been raped by the western companys and Mislovich is the only thing blocking them.
So I think the war was about defeating the last eastern country and removing their president. The victory is in progress now.

Sarah Flounders further emphasizes another important factor of the
events - western super power's despair over the fact that
Yugoslavia resists pressures for sale and division of its wealth,
both industrial and natural ones.

"In order to crush that resistance, western imperialistic countries
have played the key role in breaking up the former Yugoslavia".
"Industry, natural resources and infrastructure facilities in all
former Soviet republics, socialist countries of the Eastern Europe
and secessionist republic of the former Yugoslavia were subjected
to urgent process of privatization. Big corporations of western
countries began plundering", Flounders says.

The West is carrying out this process through IMF and the World
Bank which insist on breaking up all the industries in state
property.

Oil Wars
June 14, 1999

Like so many other foreign tours of duty, ours into Yugoslavia is without limit. Why? Because, in my opinion, maintaining control of territory critical to a Caspian Sea pipeline and stabilizing the Kosovo mines under NATO control is, after all, what NATO’s takeover of Yugoslavia is all about. In Sept. of 1997, the New York Times made the issue clear, "The most concentrated mass of untapped wealth known to exist anywhere is in the oil and gas fields beneath the Caspian Sea and lands around it. The strategic implications of this bonanza hypnotize Western security planners as completely as finances transfix oil executives."

One year later, Ariel Sharon of The Heritage Foundation stated that, the, "…huge oil reserves, estimated at over 25 billion barrels under the Caspian Sea and in the Central Asian republics of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan are similar to those in Kuwait and larger than those in Alaska's Northern Slope and the North Sea combined." Carl Limbacher of www.NewsMax.com put it simplest, "Almost all roads lead to Baku, Azerbaijan, the Caspian seaport believed to be sitting on trillions of dollars of untapped crude." Of the two routes in question, one is through Baku northwest to Chechnya and onto the Black Sea, and the alternative Mediterranean route goes from Baku west through Turkey, bypassing Iran. The latter offers NATO its allied strength, the Russian route less so. In addition, the latter route through Turkey has been the business deal of the DNC contributor Roger Tamaraz who got the backing of the Clinton Energy and State Departments. Yet the oil companies directly invested in the Azerbajani International Operating Company using the northwest route to Russia are opposed and include: Pennzoil, Unicoal, McDermott and Exxon/Amoco British Petroleum. It will be interesting to see just whose pipeline gains NATO's military backing. Look for a humanitarian invasion of Azerbajan next now that the route through Kosovo has been established.

In simple terms, the lives of a few Yugo's is nothing compared to the long term health and wealth of western europe.
Now then, knowing this I may have done the same as the Nato planners. I say may have. This is a plausible motive. The instinct to survive and prosper supercedes most fair minded motives. To help the murdering albainians is no motive. Who would want to help murders, and theives? Hmmm, maybe the same sorts.

Gene, it seems that your thought process is evolving in this matter. There are several other rather lengthy articles that might seal the truth for you. I will post them as they are dug out of the archives. Peace
