Which explains all those Balkan muslim names on the lists of Gitmo prisoners or held locally by our forces in Afghanistan or Iraq.
Well, it would were there any Balkan muslims in Gitmo or showing up in Iraq or Afghanistan, but they're not, Tom, because you're simply FOS and making your "facts" up as you go along.
To wit: List of Individuals Detained by the DoD at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, through May 15, 2006
0 Bosnians, 0 Albanians, 0 Macedonians.
And in Iraq? The Balkan muslims are so underrepresented they don't even rate mention in the various analyses of foreign fighters killed or captured that appear every now and then in the news or from groups tracking the issue.
Just as an example, the CSIS report "Iraq's Evolving Insurgency and the Risk of Civil War" 4/20/06
Number and National Origin of Foreign Volunteers
No one knows where most of the foreign volunteers present in Iraq at any given time have come from. The mix seems to vary constantly, and estimates differ from source to source. For example, the US military reported 375 foreigners so far had been detained in Iraq in 2005 as of late October. The percentage of foreign detainees was only a little over 4% in early 2005, and had actually dropped by the end of 2005. Among those detained were: 78 Egyptians; 66 Syrians; 41 Sudanese; 32 Saudis; 17 Jordanians; 13 Iranians; 2 Britons; and one each from France, Israel, Ireland, and the United States. p 198
In summary, you, and your posts, are nothing but a source of inane disinformation.

******Nope, everything I say is either in an official report I have sent to HQ or a timeline I was keeping, and I will search for it and post it here. It's been a few years but you will be surprised. Everything I say is documented or I wouldn't say it.....100% legit. I didn't say any of the Albanians or Macedonians signed up...I said they were recruiting, you know.....soliciting......You made an assumption that there were takers, they don't have the gonads to do that. Besides, they made up mostly the NLA, UCPMB, TMK, KPC, Black Eagles and about 6 other rebel groups formed from 1999 to 2003.........There were probably no takers that went to Iraq or Afghanistan. Recruiting or soliciting is different than signing up. I've also got it documented from KFOR reports, of the....oh excuse me......"Attempts to recruit" fighters for Iraq........let me be more specific for you.....:)
