Freedom Postponed for Kosovo
Time ^ | July 10, 2007 | Andrew Purvis

They have bought the fireworks to celebrate their first Independence Day, but Kosovar Albanians' dreams are once again being deferred. Repeated attempts to persuade Serbia, and its key ally Russia, to agree to a U.N. sponsored independence plan for the Balkan province have failed. Now, despite promises this spring that the plan would be approved in May, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs Dan Fried has told Kosovar leaders that they may now have to wait until 2008 before their dream is fulfilled. Nor is that a sure thing. Kosovo's Prime Minister and former rebel commander Agim Ceku barely contained his frustration. He demanded an "exact calendar, an exact date and a clear way forward" on the question. "We prefer a diplomatic road," he said earlier. "But if we do not see hope, certainty, any efforts, we will be forced to act." In a report delivered Monday to the U.N. Security Council, Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon warned that eight years of efforts to find a peacful solution in the province could "unravel" if the question is put off too long.

Kosovo will turn into Europe’s West Bank if it becomes independent. Europe, nor the US, needs a jihadist state in the middle of western civilization.

And Time is wrong about that "Freedom Postponed" title.

The Albanians have the complete "FREEDOM" to go back to where they came from (Albania), if they don't like it in where they are in Kosovo, SERBIA!

And what will the fine gentlemen behind Time Warner Inc. do about it? Put Ceku's picture as Man of the year on Time cover? Send Antichristiana Amanpour to Pristina to cry on Bill Clinton Bulevard? Try to off Monkey Moon?

All hoaxes of genocide are spent. So are the tall stories of poor innocent Kosovo Albanians. The worst America has to offer has come in the open. The theft of Kosovo seems to be commissioned by them. Freedom's just a word for nothing left to lose...".

They have lost billions in promoting Kosovo Albanian terrorists.

Been waiting for a chance to use this graphic and this particularly post seems appropriate.

It's the poster for a new American/Serbian film now in production.

“Freedom Postponed for Kosovo”

Freedom in Kosovo can be brought only by Serbian tanks!

The lamestream media and the U.N. will cheer when the Aztlaner’s take away our southwest and make the old white people into soup.

Albanians invading Serbia and carving off a slice is not freedom, no matter how many courageous Serbs, with targets painted on their Tee shirts, were murdered by Clinton, Allbright and NATO, as they stood resolutely on bridges and in hospital and schoolyards.

Sharia is not freedom.

The President still has time to invigorate our anachronistic foreign policy and develop our ties with the Slavic/Orthodox Christian nations...
