'Independent' Kosovo: A threat, not a country
www.worldnetdaily.com ^ | February 20, 2008 | James George Jatras

Abraham Lincoln was fond of asking the rhetorical question: "If you call a tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have? Five? No, calling a tail a leg don't make it a leg." That pretty much sums up the recent unilateral declaration of independence by Albanian Muslims in the Serbian province of Kosovo. Several countries, disgracefully led by the United States, have recognized Kosovo. Major media have hailed creation of the "world's newest country." But calling Kosovo a country doesn't make it one. Serbia has denounced the move as the illegal creation of a "separatist entity" on its sovereign territory and has handed down criminal indictments against several of the top Albanian Muslim leaders. Now under way is a sharp global competition to see which governments will recognize Kosovo and which will not. Under heavy pressure from the U.S. State Department, most European countries will meekly comply. Some, like Cyprus with its Turkish-occupied north and Spain with its Basque separatist movement, will not. In short, an action State Department bureaucrats touted as "settling Kosovo's status" has resulted in anything but. Outside of Europe, the picture is even fuzzier. Russia will reject Kosovo's independence, and expected to take the same line are China, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, South Africa, Brazil and many others. Russia will veto any effort to extend Kosovo membership in the United Nations. Any sovereign state with restive ethnic or religious minorities would recognize Kosovo at its own peril.

It’s good to see WND at least post a commentary about the start of WWIII. Drudge still isn’t mentioning it.

It is half the size of most counties but it represents another major foothold in the drug delivery route from Asia through Turkey to the west.

Worse, it also is another foothold for jihadis to have a safe haven in Europe...is this abomination is what we have sacrificed our sons and daughters for???!!!!

Russia would be the last place they would go. Putin would most likely send them packing!

They would go directly to the UN and NATO...after all it is NATO, the EU, and the NWO that has followed orders and let this terror statelet come into being.
