Kosovo Unveils Statue Of Bill Clinton
By Wyatt Earp | November 2, 2009
A wise choice, since everyone knows that the former president eliminated war, hunger, and poverty in that region. Bawahahahahaha! I wonder what someone who served over there thinks about this?
PRISTINA, Kosovo – Thousands of ethnic Albanians braved low temperatures and a cold wind in Kosovo’s capital Pristina to welcome former President Bill Clinton on Sunday as he attended the unveiling of an 11-foot (3.5-meter) statue of himself on a key boulevard that also bears his name.
Clinton is celebrated as a hero by Kosovo’s ethnic Albanian majority for launching NATO’s bombing campaign against Yugoslavia in 1999 that stopped the brutal Serb forces’ crackdown on independence-seeking ethnic Albanians.
Many waved American, Albanian and Kosovo flags and chanted “USA!” as the former president climbed on top of a podium with his poster in the background reading “Kosovo honors a hero.” (LINK)
Kosovo eventually approved the statue of Clinton, only after their first choice – a tribute to his conduct in the Oval Office – was deemed “inappropriate.” You can see that choice under the fold.
Heh.

North Korea, Russia and Iran are probably having their own little race to see who erects (no pun intended) the first Obama statue. The monies are probably being funneled through ACORN.

And we still have troops there. But no mention of that ever by the media. Only about that evil Bush and Iraq and Afghanistan.

Smite – Give it time. Maybe Swaziland will create one in his honor.
MeToo – They could paint his face on their nukes!
Ingineer66 – And Obama still wants to eat his waffle. *sigh*
