I know how and why clinton got us on the wrong side of this tragedy, what I don’t understand is why President Bush stayed there.

Pray for the Serbs of Kosovo. They’ll need it.

The only ones the Serbs have to fear is us. They could handle the muslim wetbacks if they were left to do so.

I hope Russia undermines this crime.

I have been hearing pleasant sounding news reports all day as though a persecuted country won it's hard fought for freedoms instead of another instance of muslim trash assaulting the west.

Regards

—A rather large part of me wishes that maybe Russia would do a little more than talk.—

Megadittos big time on this, my friend. If the Russians are feeling their oats militarily, now is the time for them to step up. Actually, they should have stepped up earlier back when Clinton/Blair began their unprovked war of aggression against Yugoslavia back in 1999. Introduction of Russian paratroopers to the Pristina airport was a good move, but too late. Introduction of a squadron or 2 of MiG-29s would have prevented the savage NATO bombing campaign before it ever got off the ground (pun intended). NATO behaved like a typical schoolyard bully, picking on weak Serbia, but was no doubt terrified of the Russian colossus, just as it was even more terrified of the Soviet colossus of years past.

Bush has repeatedly made clear that he thinks there is no threat in Muslim hegemony. He went to Turkey prior to the last round of EU admission talks and declared that "I don't believe in this clash of civilizations stuff". I watched him say it on TV in France; in Europe, people were shocked.

If there is any political calculation here, it is appeasement of the Sauds, and an effort to get them to agree to the legitimacy of Israel.

The two situations are not congruent, but you get the notion.

Bush has no problem with Islamic states. He just established one in Iraq. I think he actually believes they can be moderate and modern; maybe he thinks a Muslim Unitarianism will eventually come to pass. Outwardly, Attaturk Turkey looked like that, but the truth is that it is re-Muslimizing quickly and the secular protections will evaporate.

There's no such thing as a moderate Muslim. It's a belief system that does not tolerate that, and always leads to fanaticism. As such, it is a vehicle for political domination, which is what it was started for.

Thus it cannot ever be tolerated in the West.

As a poster on another thread said to me, "Islam is a political system in religious drag".

—Wrong. The Kosovo Parliament has already said it will protect the rights of the Serbian minority.—

If you believe anything those Muzzies have to say, I’ve got some oceanfront property in Manitoba I’ll sell you really cheap! Seriously, Kosovo is the wellspring of the Serbian people; the Albanians are basically johnny-come-lately squatters introduced there by the Turkish invader. For the Serbs to lose Kosovo is like Israeli Jews giving up Jerusalem to Hamas, or Texans giving the Alamo back to Mexico.

Some lies don't become true no many how often you repeat them.

It wasn't the Serbs who made Kosovo Judenfrei, Dhimmi.

I'd forgotten about Quebec. And are the metis still around??

My opinion here only, in an answer. From what I observe, the Metis trying very hard to sort out any problems within their people. To digress- for a chuckle, we had the Department of Fisheries charge two men locally. They had fished over the limit. They claimed Metis status. One was a 64th Metis and the other 128th Metis. They won.

It is the "First Nations" status for the Indian (no,no word) population that has caused some problems. In Southern Ontario, a whole nice little town-Caledonia, has been under siege for over a year. Land claims. Police stand by, haunted by an inquiry, over a man shot by police over 15 years ago, during native violence against military property. Citizens assaulted, bridge burned and power station vandalized.

A third of tobacco taxes lost to the government by smuggling cigarettes on to "First Nations" land. (By New York State). What a carry on! (wry chuckle).

Man up, Putin. Send in the troops. Do the right thing.

Send in the Russian troops to do what? Fight NATO and kill Americans?

Of course. He says it’s a religion of peace! LMAO

Keep in mind that John McNutty was a strong supporter of Clinton/Blair’s war of aggression in the Balkans back in 1999, not that anyone on these boards would be stupid enough to vote for the guy.

Amen to your comments.

It looks as though our State Department is trying to pacify the terrorists cult of Islam.

People should remember that it was the SS troops made up of Albania (Balkan) Muslims who operated the German Concentration camps and ovens during the waning years of WWII.

These monsters relished the murder of millions of Jews, Gypsys and Christians.

All their lies of freedom of religion is so much bunk in my opinion.

NATO will kick Putin's Russian ass back to Moscow if he tries anything.

You have the same opinion of the Russians that Hitler did. Why don’t you ask him how things turned out? Of course, you’ll have to yell awfully hard for him to hear you.

American troops shouldn’t be a mercenary force facilitating a muzzie takeover within a sovereign nation in the heart of Europe. If our leaders are that immoral, then it is their fault if Americans die as a result of it. And it is they who should be held accountable.
