It is indeed good news that our valiant Albanian allies have joined the good fight against their Muslim brothers.

Soon these quaint and colorful tribesmen will control the heroin and hooker traffic in all of Iraq. The insurgents will find their vehicles and weapons stolen, their sisters in brothels from Oslo to Dubai, and their territory declared, as is most of the known world, part of The Greater Albania.

Get ready for the Pax Albanica.
