"Hashim Thaci....leader of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) advocates a speedy independence of Kosovo."

Translation "Hashim Thaci, leader of sex-slaving , Albanian narco-terrorists has been chosen as the Albanian version of capo-di-tutti-capi so that he can play the US off against Osama bin Laden and -- with Western approval-- secure the illegal transfer of stolen Serbian property."

Sick.
