Why is Biden so unpopular in Serbia?
My previous posts about Biden in Serbia got me thinking. Why exactly is Biden seemingly so unpopular in Serbia? I found this:
Among Serbs, however, Joe Biden is best known as the man who sponsored the March 23, 1999 Senate resolution authorizing Clinton to bomb Serbia and will remain permanently ingrained in our collective memory for characterizing Serbian nation as “...a bunch of illiterates, degenerates, baby killers, butchers and rapists” — a hateful outburst and a fascist tirade on CNN’s Larry King Live that was left without a comment, reprimand or any semblance of apology, to date.And Obama chose to send him to Belgrade? Hmmm ... maybe my conspiracy theory wasn't quite so ludicrous after all! After all, The One couldn't possibly be so ignorant of recent history to be unaware of events just ten years ago. It's not as if he's forgotten that New Yorkers might be a bit twitchy about low flying jet liners buzzing their city or anything.
[Update] Apparently Biden also said,
“[W]e should announce there’s going to be American casualties. We should go to Belgrade and we should have a Japanese-German style occupation of that country.”
