Kosovo Kool-Aid a No-Brainer for Campaigning Candidates
This is a sad, sad commentary on how our three contenders for president compete with each other to endorse the independence of Kosovo. Such a position demonstrates either gross ignorance of the negative consequences of an independent Kosovo, or a cynical disregard for the future of Europe and Western society. Or maybe both.

Kosovo Kool-Aid a No-Brainer for Campaigning Candidates

There’s no disagreement even among the most bitter rivals, when it comes to taking an anti-Serb position. After all, we drank that poisoned Kool-Aid together way back in the previous century: Clinton, Obama and McCain Endorse Kosovo .
They may be busy on their respective campaign trails, but supporting an independent terror state — that’s a no-brainer! Even Hillary was able to answer that without first conferring with her staff:
Though caught up in two new nominating votes, which take place in Wisconsin and Hawaii [Tuesday], Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) and Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) both took a moment to endorse Kosovo’s declared independence from Serbia. Obama expressed hope that “Kosovo’s government and people act with urgency to ensure that Kosovo becomes a positive example of democratic governance and the rule of law.” He also said the reelection of Serbian President Boris Tadic was a “critical step in moving Serbia closer to the goal of full integration into the democratic West.” Clinton called Kosovo’s independence “a historic step,” and called on the international community to press for full protection of minority rights in Kosovo. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) also welcomed Kosovo’s independence and said the United States and international community should “help solidify these gains by quickly recognizing Kosovo’s independence.”
Between a machine Democrat (Hillary), a stealth Democrat (McCain) and a Hezbollah Democrat (Obam-duh!), they can all agree that Kosovo should be independent. After all, Hillary ordered Bill to bomb the Serbs; McCain was purchased by the Albanians before Hillary heard of Serbs; and Obama, well, how could he resist the creation of yet another Muslim state? That’s one more invitee to his Muslim summit.
