The United States is failing dismally in its efforts to oust the governments of Yugoslavia and its republic of Serbia and to subjugate them by setting up its puppets there, Serbian television said in a commentary late on Wednesday.
The commentary quoted Robert Gelbard as saying in the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee some days ago that he would rather not insist too strongly on the likelihood of the Yugoslav government toppling in the near future.
Serbia can be democratised, which is the U.S. euphemism for subjugated, only from the inside, through the operation of the opposition, according to Gelbard.
But even united, the opposition would find it hard to surmount all the obstacles in its way. And unfortunately, Gelbard deplored, the opposition in Serbia is far from uniting, the commentary said.
Gelbard's woes are easy to understand because, naturally, his proteges cannot gratify NATO's expectations when the people in Serbia have long realised that they are no more than NATO's lackeys and stooges.
Gelbard is obviously getting to be an increasingly demanding and unpleasant boss for his minions in Serbia, the commentary said.
The position is the most intolerable for Serbian Renewal Movement (SPO) leader Vuk Draskovic, who does not hide that he has become a hostage of the so-called Alliance for Change, i.e., an Alliance for NATO, since this alliance has no support in the Serbian people.
Draskovic makes no bones about the fact that the "alliance" is nothing but an outpost of NATO and the U.S. State Department and under Gelbard's direct orders.
This is beginning to irk, too, the Democratic Party's Zoran Djindjic, and he and his partners are becoming increasingly panicked and confused by the fact that their NATO masters' demands are becoming too heavy for them to carry on their puny shoulders.
This is causing increasing friction among the leaders in the Alliance for Change, alias Alliance for NATO, ahead of the planned celebration of Clinton's birthday outside the Yugoslav Parliament in Belgrade on Aug. 19, the Serbian television commentary said.
