Serbia Wants Its Troops Back in Kosovo in Case of Iraq War

VOA News

02 Feb 2003, 20:24 UTC The Serbian government has asked NATO for permission to send its troops back to Kosovo in case of a war in Iraq.

Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic says Serb troops would fill any security vacuum in the province if NATO withdraws its soldiers for military action against Iraq, although there are no immediate plans to do so.

Kosovo has been administered by the United Nations since 1999, after a NATO-led air campaign ended then Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic's crackdown on the region's ethnic Albanian majority.

A senior advisor to Kosovo's Prime Minister Bajram Rexhepi criticized Mr. Djindjic's request. He said that any tendency to return Serbian forces to Kosovo would be an attempt to destabilize the province and the whole region.

Someone has to keep Muslim terrorists in line.

I'm sure the Macedonians can vouch for what a good job the UN has done!

What an ideal opportunity for NATO to squirm out of this mess without admitting how utterly stupid it was to favor KLA muslim terrorist invaders over Serbian initiatives to maintain their territory.

If Serbian forces can provide some sanity to this area, more power to them!

But Islam is a religon of peace!

Wonder how much the Islamo-fascists contributed to the Klintoon campaign fund?

Two good forces to keep the peace are the Serbian Security Forces (Red Berets, Tigers) and the French Foreign Legion. The FFL, in my opinion, were balanced in Bosnia.

Please note that crime has risen nearly 1,000 percent (includes drugs, church desecration, ethnic cleansing, arms running, murders, arson human trafficking etc..) since the KLA were empowered by NATO in the fall of 1999.

"Sanity" would consist of levelling every mosque from a start line drawn roughly from Venice to Vienna, all the way to the Greek-Turkish border.

I'm done with "tolerance".

That is what was said about India, Hong Kong, Ireland, Scotland and other countries, right? "That will never happen". Your country imploded like the Roman Empire and it is continuing to dwindle. Maybe my offspring will roll back the muslim hordes like my grandfather did and I did. What great honor it is to defend against muslim hordes, or you would not know what it is to provide onsite security, do you?

Even after the events of 9-11, NATO continues to support al-Qaeda friendly terrorists in Albania, Kosovo, and Bosnia.

What the recent dispute between European countries over the war with Iraq shows us is that NATO is morally and politically bankrupt as a security organization, and must recognize its involvement on behalf of Muslim terrorists in the Balkans as a failure - if not for what it actually is, a criminal undertaking, of the most base form.

Given the Serbian fertility rate, the only thing that will be rolling back is itself. What is my country by the way?

The Empire of Greater Albania will never permit the return of Yugoslav troops to the sovereign Albanian province of Kosovo. Should Belgrade be so foolish as to attempt such an illegal invasion then the descendents of Ancient Illyria -- landed free men in the finest Western tradition -- will once more crush the overrated VJ as happened in 1999.

Slavic forces unable to stand toe to toe with the Albanian stosstruppen that now rule the Balkans. From Tirana to Prishtina to the Tetovo Republic, Kosovo Liberation Army veterans stand ready to once more defend Albanian women and children from the savage Serbian rape squads. Should such incendiary verbiage continue from Belgrade it will be necessary for KLA/UCK cadres to once again go on the offensive in the Presevo Valley and suburbs of Skopje.

Belgrade must understand that Kosovo province has been liberated from a millenium of Slavic horror and madness as part of an overriding US foreign policy designed to protect 21st century pipeline routes and secure strategic cooperation with Albania. The illegitimate Serbian government would be much wiser to focus on the coming Muslim push through Europe that will destroy Yugoslavia once and for all later this decade instead of wistfully dreaming of an impossible return to Kosovo polje.

Millions will die in the Third World War. Nothing could have been worse for the West than the space shuttle tragedy. Around the globe Islamic entente extremists read this as a sign that Allah favours the bold -- and they prepare to strike an unsuspecting and unprepared West with a fury that dwarfs 9/11.

President Bush must accelerate the timetable for the American attack on Iraq or all will be lost. Already it appears the Islamic entente will strike Great Britain before the end of the month...

The forces of freedom on the move. Europe trembles.
