Carlotta Gall, NYT: How Kosovo Was Turned Into Fertile Ground for ISIS
Extremist clerics and secretive associations funded by Saudis and others have transformed a once-tolerant Muslim society into a font of extremism.
PRISTINA, Kosovo — Every Friday, just yards from a statue of Bill Clinton with arm aloft in a cheery wave, hundreds of young bearded men make a show of kneeling to pray on the sidewalk outside an improvised mosque in a former furniture store.
The mosque is one of scores built here with Saudi government money and blamed for spreading Wahhabism — the conservative ideology dominant in Saudi Arabia — in the 17 years since an American-led intervention wrested tiny Kosovo from Serbian oppression.
Since then — much of that time under the watch of American officials — Saudi money and influence have transformed this once-tolerant Muslim society at the hem of Europe into a font of Islamic extremism and a pipeline for jihadists.

The CIA importing foreign Muj and Saudi sponsorship in 1992 in Bosnia, of course, had no "blowback",

We know that.
Again "the West" create his own monsters.
Democrat, Republican. What's the difference? About as much as Liberal, NDP, Conservative.
There is no "left-wing media". Unless you mean the left wing of the reactionary right that infests the press throughout "the west". So what it they support gay marriage and cheer on bearded transvestite contestants at Eurovision? When it comes to running cover for international gangsterism and spinning narratives, the partisanship is just part of the show.

From the Wikipedia link:
"The U.S. government has been criticized for allowing Pakistan to channel a disproportionate amount of its funding to controversial Afghan resistance leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar,[32] who Pakistani officials believed was "their man".[33] Hekmatyar has been criticized for killing other mujahideen and attacking civilian populations, including shelling Kabul with American-supplied weapons, causing 2,000 casualties. Hekmatyar was said to be friendly with Osama bin Laden, founder of al-Qaeda, who was running an operation for assisting "Afghan Arab" volunteers fighting in Afghanistan, called Maktab al-Khadamat."
"In the late 1980s, Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto, concerned about the growing strength of the Islamist movement, told President George H. W. Bush, "You are creating a Frankenstein."[35]"
And now, this very day, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar is being vetted by our Afghan bum buddies and is coming back to Mama as part of a "peace deal". The SOB should hang. Instead, we get this from the gangsters in Kabul and their Godfather in Washington:
"But Afghan Chief Executive Officer Abdullah Abdullah, while welcoming the peace agreement, said he is prepared to have a meal with Hekmatyar to serve the national interest of the country."
“The United States is prepared to work with the government of Afghanistan and members of the United Nations Security Council in considering sanctions relief in the event that an agreement is concluded that provides for fulfilment of the necessary conditions,” a State Department official told the Voice of America recently.
“The United States does not have any pre-conditions for supporting an Afghan-led, Afghan-owned reconciliation process,” the official said.
Bullshit. The United States Republicrat foreign policy establishment loves it's fascist prodigal sons. The Canadians are even worse.
I said then and I'll say it now. Afghanistan should have been left to the Soviets. Revisionists or not.
