FORT DIX, New Jersey (CNN) -- The sounds of Islamic calls to prayer echo across Fort Dix, temporary host to thousands of ethnic Albanians who fled war-ravaged Kosovo.

If they wish to go home, we will pay their way home," Shalala said.

Hmmmmm... I wonder if their's a connection ....

“Ethnic Albanians”, one of the worst euphemisms ever foisted upon this country in order to get people who despise it on the Welfare roles.

We damn near paid a very HIGH price to find their way home

Well, this is latest news from Kosovo/Serbia:

Serbian veterans to fight breakaway Kosovo

KRUSEVAC, Serbia, May 7 (UPI) — Serbian nationalists plan to form a paramilitary unit to prevent ethnic-Albanian Kosovo from gaining independence from Serbia, a report said Monday.

Zeljko Vasiljevic, president of the Serbian veterans organization, said the nationalists will create a “Christian militia” to fight Kosovo’s ethnic-Albanians, who are mostly Muslim, the Belgrade daily Danas reported.

About 200 people gathered Saturday outside a Serbian Christian Orthodox church at Krusevac, 120 miles south of Belgrade, to set up the Guard of Prince Lazar, named after the leader who lost the 1389 Kosovo battle to the Ottoman Empire. Serbia was under Turkish rule for 500 years.

Vasiljevic said police arrested 27 men dressed in black T-shirts with the insignia of the Serbian Red Berets special police unit, known for its activities in the 1990s Yugoslav ethnic wars.

Members of the disbanded Red Berets are currently on trial in Belgrade charged with the assassination of Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic in March 2003.

A United Nations plan giving independence to Kosovo, an idea strongly opposed by Serbia, is to be considered by the U.N. Security Council.

one of rare articles ACTUALLY calling Serbs Christians and Albanians Muslims...

I remember a general going through the barracks at Dix there in preparation for these refugees - and call ed them “UNFIT for humans” and orders a massive rehabilitation.

Of course, I had been using those barracks for the last ten years. Good enough for soldiers, not good enough for refugees...

It wasn’t “HIP” to protest Clinton’s wars.

And it was A-OK for the State Department to reclassify the KLA from being known as a terrorist organization to treating them as a partner in war management.

NO THIRD TERM.

This is the thanks the USA gets for helping the muslim Albanians take over a country! I hope the few Serbs left hate us forever.

Thanks kronos77, I worked on Fort Dix at the time and shuddered everytime they flew the Albanians into Maguire AFB which shares a fence line with Fort Dix.
