Albania stands with U.S. in Iraq

The announcement several days ago Albania -- a small country with limited resources -- was sending an additional 50 well-trained troops to Iraq came as a surprise to some observers. But it really should not have surprised anyone. Albania was one of only four countries to send combat troops during the operation "Iraqi Freedom." Albania is probably the most pro-American country on Earth. It showed its support of the United States early, when it initially sent 70 commandos to join the Coalition of the Willing's effort to bring peace, stability and free elections to Iraq.

Thanks for the warning. I was quickly coming to realize that he wasn't exactly an intellectual heavyweight.

The you really need a hobby.

Do please continue to use those smily faces.

Pictures are still worth a thousand words and these just express our opinion of you, pre-ban and post-ban, Bonly-boy!

A master of understatement, aren't you? ;-)

Lets not get too hasty with the word "genocide", the definition of the word has been so twisted in its use with in the recent decade that its becoming a ubiquitous synonym for propaganda.

There was enough death on both sides of the Drina to make everyone in the region accountable, it was a tri-fecta of blame. A good portion of that blame can be pinned squarely on the shoulders of the outside powers, under dubious pretenses, who felt it that this was more of an opportunity to exert influence rather than help solve the problem, the US included.

Hey everyone, Ronly Bonly bin Laden is back and vomiting forth his narrow-minded, anti-Orthodox Christian/anti-Serb blather as if he'd never been banned.

Stop by and laugh at him with us!

[Destro]

It makes sense for a small country like Albania to curry favor with Amerca - 50 troops is a small price to pay for favortisim - FYROMacedonia has also sent troops to Iraq in an attempt to gain American favors.

[FormerLib]

And we shouldn't group all Albanians in with the narco-terrorist thugs that have run their ethnic-cleansing campaign through Kosovo.

[FormerLib]

LOL!

Yeah, so much so that you have to post to every one of them, Bonly-boy! LOL!

This is the truth of Kosovo and UN/NATO "protection":

The couple were attacked early Monday morning by assailants wielding an axe and blunt objects outside their home in Crkolez village in northwestern Kosovo. Woman in pink sweater is unidentified.

This is today's truth of the "democracy" NATO "peacekeepers" ensure for the politically incorrect people. The Serb elderly who do not leave get an EAR CUT OFF for their stubborness as they step out of their doorway:

Can you give the example of the other land which was destroyed and where its inhabitants were massacred or expelled like in Serbian Kraina? This is the ONLY example of the genocide (according to the accepted definition) there.

This was done by cooperation of NATO, Croats and Muslims with the joyful support by Westerm mass media. One key military leader was Albanian general who later persecuted Serbs in Kosovo.

[FormerLib]

Pot, meet kettle.

Yep, he's back to using his patented and nonsensical Ronly Bonly bin Laden-isms when you pin him in a corner.

He accuses you of not posting pictures that he himself cannot find (since all the Muhammedans have are those faked shots provided by CNN and such). What a pathetic little man ol' Bonly-boy is!

[FormerLib]

Can you say R-E-P-U-B-L-I-K-A S-R-P-S-K-A?

As a refresher, that's the place that Bonly-boy wanted to see "crushed like a bug," knowing full well that doing so would result in deaths of thousands, if not tens of thousands, of innocent Serb civilians.

Not that he sees anything wrong with that, mind you.

You don't know half of what when on there, you have to quit looking at it from such a high level within the context of the conflict. As in all of the Balkans, little fiefdoms among "big daddy gangster wannabes" are a dime a dozen in Bosnia, Serb, Croat and Muslims all included. Much, not all, of the senseless brutality sprouted from these criminals, no doubt, criminals on all sides. Many used the war as an opportunity to establish their control over a local level.

I agree with you that what happened in Krajina was a crime; the butchery at the Medak Pocket was horrendous and the thousands ethnically cleansed form Krajina is completely inexcusable. Croatian pilots strafing civilians was absolutely deplorable, no sane person would claim otherwise.

My comment regarding the word 'genocide" doesn't apply in Bosnia 1992 - 1995, I would agree Bosnia WWII does though.

[montyspython]

Stupid reply.
