Somewhere Otto von Bismarck is turning in his grave.


I'm sure he's spinning, albeit for other reasons:

"The whole of the Balkans is not worth the bones of a single Pomeranian grenadier."

What exactly have they done?

There was a plastic shopping bag, with fingerprints on it, containing 7 detonators and an Islamic tape, in Arabic.

Perhaps the shopping bag was from Rexhep's Pristina Quickie Mart?

Here are the suspects. Perhaps one or more of them were in Kosovo at some time - who knows?

None of them are Kosovar Albanians, but it will still be interesting to see what the connection is once it is explained.

It sure ain't the Wermacht your grand daddy fought...
Actually it is.

These present day Germans did the same as their grandfathers.

Stood by as the local Albanians or Croats did their dirty work.

The FBI analysts also found indications that whoever left the fingerprint on the bag involved in the Madrid bombings had some connection to the Yugoslav province of Kosovo, where international Islamic extremists have been active.

For authorities to link finger prints to Kosovo means a record existed of said prints in relation to Kosovo-unless they fingerprint baggers in Kosovo supermarkets. Just like the UN's ICTY had files on a jihadist or two who carried out 9/11 - ICTY files that existed before 9/11.

COuld it be those Muslims "tourists" arrested and released in Kosovo (Algerians? Morrocans?) in the aftermath of 9/11 - you know the ones that hung outside NATO military bases snapping "tourist" pictures.

Hoppy just upset because he knows the US will correct the errors made by Kaiser Willie in Kosovo and the KLA will last about 10 minutes after the Serb Army returns.

You are free to speculate, as is your wont.

The last paragraph says that the Defense Ministry wants the ROE to be changed. It all depends on the da-ned ROE!!
