First it came loudly and clearly through the State Department when on May 15 in Moscow, after meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said, "Kosovo will never again be a part of Serbia." Then, in late May, George Bush himself came out in favor of the so-called Ahtisaari Plan for the Serbian province of Kosovo, named after its creator, Martti Ahtisaari, the former president of Finland, by which that province is to gain independence under "international supervision," a view he has now restated at the G-8 Summit of the world's leading industrial states in Germany.
Since the U.S.-led bombing of Yugoslavia in spring of 1999 and the subsequent deployment of 50,000 NATO troops in Kosovo, 151 Christian Orthodox churches and/or monasteries in the Kosovo province (its full name is "Kosovo and Metohia," with "Metohia" coming from the Greek word "metoh," meaning "church holding") have been burned down by Albanian terrorists or mobs, scores of Christian cemeteries have been desecrated, their monuments broken and even bodies dug up, and some 250,000 Serbs and other non-Albanians have been driven from their homes. Many of Kosovo's remaining Christians live in concentration camp-style ghettos, without any freedom of movement outside strictly confined areas. All attempts to initiate large-scale refugee return have been obstructed by both the U.N. civil administration as well as the NATO military presence, which has stood by as the anti-Christian terror in the province has continued almost unabated.

It’s Bush............nuff said.
We are getting to know the real Bush. Pretty soon he will be the darling of the MSM and the anti-Christian crowd.
who would you rather him please the russian puppets in belgrade?
The man has become a loose cannon in his pursuit of one world government.
Correct!
What “Russian puppets”? I’m no fan of Putin’s, but you seem like one of those Cold Warriors.
My opinion is that if independence for Kosovo is indeed foregone, then what should be done is to divide the place. Let Serbia keep the ethnic Serb majority areas, the towns of Gracanica and Decani, and the Serbian Orthodox Religious and Cultural sites, and let the Albanians have the rest.
Michael Savage once referred to Bush as “Clinton-lite”. I’m no Savage fan, but it seems to me that he was right in that case.
Bush betrays _______________.
And it just keeps getting worse and worse... This move is bound to irk the Russians big time as they consider the Serbs to be their younger cousins and the Serbs attach great cultural significance to Kosovo.
It makes me wonder just what the heck Bush IS using for brains these days.
Deja vu.
Bomb Christians for the Al Qaeda backed KLA drug runners and give them a Christian Country!
Jail Border Patrol for shooting a Mexican drug runner and
have open borders for Mexico!
INSANE!
How politically correct.
Why am I not surprised.
Somehow or other I’m probably not going to cry much when the rats finally impeach this guy.
