TERRORIST THUG BOASTS: 
"THANKS TO UNCLE SAM, 
MACEDONIANS ARE NO MATCH FOR US!"

Eyewitness report by Scott Taylor, retired Canadian 
military man, author of 'Inat' and 'Tested Mettle' 
(http://emperors-clothes.com/reviews/INAT.htm) 
and editor of Esprit de Corps Magazine [21 August 2001]


TETOVO, Macedonia -

Last Monday, international envoys and government officials 
in Macedonia hammered out a last-minute peace accord.
However, this 11th-hour attempt to avoid yet another Balkans 
civil war may yet prove to be a case of too little, too late, as 
the fighting here continues to escalate.

Under the terms of the agreement, once a solid ceasefire can 
be established, a NATO force of some 3,000 peacekeepers,
including a whopping three Canadian officers, will be 
deployed in Macedonia.
The major task of these troops will be to disarm the ethnic 
Albanian guerrillas who have established control of nearly 
30 per cent of Macedonia's territory.

For the battered Macedonian security forces that have fought 
the guerrillas over the past six months, the arrival of the NATO 
force will be a bitter pill to swallow.

"If NATO hadn't been arming and equipping the (guerrillas) in 
Kosovo there would be no need for them to disarm these 
guerrillas now in Macedonia," said Goran Stevanovic, a 
sergeant with the elite Macedonian police Wolves.

At the diplomatic level, the provision of military aid to the 
guerrillas is vehemently denounced, but on the ground in 
Macedonia, there is no denying the massive amount of 
materiel and expertise supplied by NATO to the guerrillas. 
Their commanders welcomed me with a shout of "God 
bless America, and Canada, too, for all that they have 
provided to us!"

In the well-built guerrilla bunkers overlooking the besieged 
city of Tetovo, there is ample evidence of U.S. military 
hardware. Everything from sidearms and sniper rifles to 
menacing-looking grenade launchers is emblazoned Made 
in the USA.

An abundant stock of sophisticated night-vision goggles 
provide the guerrillas with a tremendous tactical advantage 
over the Macedonian security forces. By nightfall, the 
Macedonians are compelled to hole up in their bunkers 
while the guerrillas roam with impunity throughout the 
Tetovo streets.

Snake Arifaj, a 22-year-old guerrilla platoon commander, 
proudly displayed his unit's impressive arsenal and said, 
"Thanks to Uncle Sam, the Macedonians are no match 
for us."

Two weeks ago, there was a flurry of diplomatic protests filed 
by the Macedonian government when two U.S. helicopters 
were observed delivering supplies to an Albanian village in 
the mountains above Tetovo. Officially, the U.S. claimed their 
aircraft were only transporting humanitarian aid.

However, the local guerrilla commander, Commander "Mouse," 
a 47-year-old UCK officer in the Tetovo sector contradicted 
this statement and confirmed that two US Chinook Heavy 
Transport Helicopters had in fact delivered "heavy mortars and 
ammunition" to the guerrillas. 
As proof of Mouse's claim, on Thursday the guerrillas began 
bombarding Tetovo with 120-mm and 82-mm mortars. 
Judging from the duration and intensity of the bombardment 
that I witnessed, ammunition supply is not a problem for the 
guerrillas.

"We have all the equipment and men we need to capture 
Skopje in 24 hours," said Commander "Jimmy", a 22-year-old 
Albanian guerrilla who is already a veteran of Chechnya, 
Kosovo, and south Serbia. "Militarily, the Macedonians are 
no match for our soldiers."

The U.S. also frequently used their tactical helicopters to 
gather intelligence inside Macedonia, without authorization 
from the Macedonian government. The sight of the U.S. 
choppers prompted the ethnic Albanian villagers to cheer 
wildly, waving their arms to encourage "their" air force.

Further illustration of this Albanian sentiment toward U.S. 
aircraft can be found at the guerrilla brigade headquarters, 
just outside Tetovo. Here the security platoon wear T-shirts 
emblazoned with a Nike logo and the words: 
"NATO Air - Just Do It!"

On the other side of this conflict, the woefully equipped 
Macedonian forces have been hard pressed to field a 
credible fighting force. In order to obtain a peaceful 
secession from Yugoslavia in 1992, the fledgling Republic 
of Macedonia agreed to turn over all the federal military 
assets to Serbia / Montenegro. As a result of their bankrupt 
treasury and slumping economy, Macedonia did not put a 
priority on re-equipping an army. However, once the 
Albanian guerrillas began their insurgency in March of this 
year, the Macedonians had no choice but to rapidly 
enhance their tiny security forces.

Over the past six months, there has been a tremendous 
infusion of modern weaponry (and mercenary "advisers") 
into Macedonia, with the bulk of support coming from 
Ukraine.

At the height of last week's fighting, both George Robertson 
and Javier Solana - respectively the NATO and European 
Union secretary generals - made personal entreaties to 
Ukraine to cut off this vital military aid.

Given such interference, it's little wonder that the 
Macedonian majority have staged violent anti-NATO riots, 
attacking embassies and McDonald's restaurants over the 
past several weeks.

In the past, Canadian soldiers serving as peacekeepers 
in the Balkans have won a hard-earned reputation from all 
factions for their fairness and impartiality. However, after 
the 1999 bombing campaign against Yugoslavia, and now 
through the provision of illicit aid to the guerrillas, Canada's 
foreign ministry is steadily eroding that trust. When, or if, 
those three Canadians deploy into wartorn Macedonia, it 
will no doubt dishearten them to know that the death and 
destruction that they encounter was aided and abetted 
by their own government.
