Does anyone remember what we did to stop their mad advance?

Anyone?

Anyone at all?

Lessee; there was high-altitude "precision" bombing that proved to be ineffective (because the Norden bombsight couldn't cope with the jetstream), then Curtis E. LeMay introduced low-level firebombing, but that also left Japan unbowed. Finally, the 2nd and 3rd nuclear devices detonated broke the Japanese back so severely that a good part of the population still doesn't want the Self-Defense forces to venture beyond the 12-mile nautical limit.

No one should burn any mosque or do any harm to someone just because they are a Moslem.

No islam, no terror.

You have my full support.

The only solution is to kill the killers before they kill again.

What do you do if you're locked in a room with Osama, Saddam, and a lawyer - but your gun has only two bullets left.

Question; are any of the 3 armed? If not, I wouldn't waste the bullets I had left, but all 3 would still be room temperature.

Kinda reminds me of the joke...

My thoughts exactly. It is hard to be charitable with these people.

BELGRADE, March 18 (Itar-Tass) - “We strongly condemn the instigators of the current riots in Kosovo and want them to be stopped immediately, since they may explode the situation both within the territory and in the entire region,” Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Razov stated here on Thursday, commenting on the current situation in Kosovo. “The Russian side is ready to take part in the search for ways to settle this problem by means of the instruments it possesses,” Razov stated. The Russian deputy foreign minister had planned to visit Kosovo in the course of his three-day visit to Serbia and Montenegro. However, in reply to a request from Head of the U.N. Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo Harry Holkeri, the visit had to be put off due to the dangerous situation there.

The situation in Kosovo is still very tense – Albanian extremists are attacking the Serbs, the U.N. police and International KFOR units. Dozens of houses in the predominantly Serbian villages were burned down. The U.N. police and KFOR soldiers are waging real battles against throngs of Albanians. At least fifteen men were killed and not less than three hundred others were wounded during the Wednesday clashes of Albanian extremists with Serbs, KFOR soldiers, and U.N. policemen. These figures were released by the Crisis HQ of the Clinical Centre of Pristina University.

The most dangerous situation is in the village of Chaglavica, not far from Pristina, where approximately one thousand Serbs had lived. The Albanians broke through the U.N. police cordons into the village forcing Serbian women and children to flee to the neighbouring Serbian village of Laple-Selo. About ten U.N. police vehicles are aflame on the road into Chaglavica. About thirty armoured cars of the American KFOR contingent were moved into the village. The Americans were able to save the lives of at least ten wounded servicemen of the international force. Serbian houses are aflame in the village.

Albanians attacked on Wednesday afternoon the several dozens of Serbians, still remaining in Pristina. Their apartments were stoned and incendiary bombs were hurled into them. A curfew was clamped down on the city on Wednesday. However, according to a report of the Serbian BETA News Agency, about two thousand armed Albanians were moved towards the city from other districts of Kosovo.

Albanian extremists have set fire to the Holy Archangel Orthodox Monastery near the town of Prizren. The Monastery had celebrated the 650th anniversary of its foundation two years ago. The St. George Church in Prizren is also on fire. The Albanians ransacked a Serbian Orthodox Church in Djakovica, where five women had sought asylum. The fate of about two hundred Serbs from Gnilan in eastern Kosovo is still unknown. All the Serbian houses there were burned down. The population of Gnilan tried to flee to Serbia, but only five burned automobiles were so far found on the Bujanovac-Gnilan road with no bodies inside. The Albanians had most likely captured them all.

The Belgrade television describes the Kosovo events as an “ethnic purge”. There are about two million Albanians and 70-100 thousand Serbians and people of other nationalities living in Kosovo today. Increasing numbers of Serbian politicians believe Kosovo will shortly be “ethnically clean” due to the Wednesday massive exodus of Serbians from their lands, which can be expected to continue in the next few days. After that the Albanians will be able to declare their independence from Serbia.

Head of the Serbian Government’s Coordination Committee on Kosovo Affairs Neboija Chovic has accused the U.N. police in Kosovo and KFOR for “guarding only themselves”. For his part, Head of the Interim U.N. Administration Mission in Kosovo Harry Holkeri described Wednesday as “a black day for Kosovo”. He called on the population to keep the peace and to give the U.N. police and KFOR soldiers a chance to guarantee “safety for every citizen”.

It was learned that an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council on the situation in Kosovo would be held in New York on Thursday.

If this isn't reined in, it could get out of control quickly.

Promise?

"Albanian extremists have set fire to the Holy Archangel Orthodox Monastery near the town of Prizren. " -itar-tass


It seems your muzli friends did it first earlier this week.
they deserve to have their wicked, murderous cult; posing as a legitimate religion, uprooted and expelled from the region.

enough is enough... call nato forces to withdraw, free milosevech and greenlight the Ruskies to go in and finish the problem... we should have never sided against the orthodox christians (serbs) against the christian jew hating murderors.

this whole dang kosovo mess is Clinton's Lewinsky cover up.
I am tired of us paying for his placating terrorists.

I guess we are too nuanced and sophisticated in modern times to learn the lessons of history.

Perhaps we Americans should conduct a survey.

Query nations around the world to determine which hates us most.

Publicize results widely.

Then destroy the winner with extreme prejudice. Call it the 'prize'.

Repeat annually.

"No, no, no, this is so wrong... No one should burn any mosque or do any harm to someone just because they are a Moslem."

Ahem...Not that I'm advocating such a thing, but could this be a preemptive or defensive reaction to Islam's literal commandment to kill all non-Moslems.

What stopped the Nips? USMC. God Bless them. It wasn't 'Little-boy' or 'Fatman'. It was the USMC. Leathernecks took a beating and destroyed those bastards. One-on-one, in your face ass-stomping.
