"You mean like Jed Clampett"

Yes, in the book , "Black Lamb, Grey Falcon" that is pretty much how Rebecca West described it. The entire book was about her travels as an English woman through pre-WWII Yugoslavia.

“Believe propaganda from Soros NGO’s all you want. Just don’t expect the rest of us to side with foreigners against our own country just because you and Soros say we should.”

Who funds John McCain’s Reform Institute?

Can you say “Soros”?

The Soros slime is coming out of your mouth, not the author's and not mine.

You can take out your prayer rug now.

You are the one who posted this article which uses Soros org propaganda.

Please stop promoting George Soros talking points at FR in defense of your anti-American foreign agenda.

While you're at it, please stop stinking up America with your treason. Put your money where your mouth is. Go to Serbia where your allegiance lies and don't come back.

Thanks for the link. I read all the key words that tell me the link is to an alarmist, Leftist, BS site. “Halliburton”, “Kellog etc.”, “Gunboat Diplomacy”, “War for Oil”, etc., yet when I visit site after site in random search pattern I cannot find any other information about this supposed camp being anything other than what it apparently is. A military camp.

I’ll keep looking around to see if I can find anymore information about this as it is truly interesting to me to know why in the “H” we got involved in fighting over there in the first place. I just don’t trust much of the opinion I see coming from the Left, or the Right. Somewhere, somehow I will find out the truth of WHY.

Once again the Bush administration is sacrificing its conservative principles to satisfy our nation’s seeming insatiable thirst for foreign oil.

Patently untrue leftist propaganda.

Not enough oil to worry about.

We never are in it for, or ever get, the oil of the left's standard Marxist accusation.

The Bush Administration, and Bush, is not conservative.

The Bush Administration sacrifices conservative principles for no reason, not horse manure like this.

Our economy will run just fine on any oil, only the leftie envirowackos insatiably thirst for FOREIGN oil.

"Put your money where your mouth is. Go to Serbia where your allegiance lies and don't come back."

I've never set foot in Serbia. I am an American and my family never came from Serbia. My allegiance lies with America & what she once stood for in the world --truth, decency & values that were worthy of respect. But she has been hijacked by some very ruthless global interests, and as American patriots, it is our job to point out where she has gone wrong to put her right. It's a messy thankless job, but we all bring what we have to the job. I have knowledge of the Balkans. I don't claim to know a rat's behind about Iraq or Afghanistan, so I don't talk about it. I talk about this because this is what I know because I have studied it from many sides.

Got a problem with that, take it up with the management.

Yes, Michael Savage has known that something has not been right about all of this for a long time. Guess that makes Michael Savage a "Soros commie" in TGJ's pro-Albanian book

I'd have to do some digging but IIRC the breakup of the Milosevic regime was in part due to globalists desire of oil/gas PIPELINE stability and privatization.

If there is oil there then my guess is that this is about keeping it OFF the market in order to keep prices high enough to fund our enemies.

I know that sounds weird, but that's how it works NWO.

I may find the whole thread revealing.

TGJ, IMO the plan for Kosovo independence is a bastard child of our communist infested DOS. Just because the Russians don't like it doesn't mean it's in our interest.

" Islam in Albania today is something less than radical."

Yet in the article it lists the "Greater Albanian" plan of swallowing up Kosovo and Macedonia.

Thanks for the post. I don’t buy into these oil/Saudi connections yet, maybe for lack of understanding. I do try to be on the right side of every matter. Until some information says otherwise, what’s happening to the Serbs is wrong. Nobody’s stepped up to articulate some justification for the gutting of Serbia.

Until I learn otherwise, I’ll follow my instincts, driven by the information available and common sense, and fight hard (within legal limits) for the Serbs.

You've been here for what -- two days? Use terms like "tribal monkeys" & "shovel heads", and start insulting people. Think that you might want to learn some manners when introducing yourself. Or is this your "best behavior" and highest level of contribution & it's downhill from here?

And they have destroyed over 150 Christian churches So if this is "less than radical", then what?
