And I bet our State Dept will heartily approve.
And the Jihadists attacked our homeland on 9/11 so why the hell are we rewarding them with a new base of operations in Kosovo.
It is pure idiocy!
I can find you 1000 rioters in DC who will gladly attack a US embassy.
This says nothing about the Serbian people, particularly as the Serbian police move to arrest the rioters.
In a colloquial sense, I tend to think of “terrorists” as those who deliberately target innocent people for death and destruction to achieve some political purpose. You know, like Al Quaeda. (spelling?)
In this sense, I would call the attackers on the embassy rioters, looters, and arsonists. I haven’t heard that anybody in this specific group was deliberately targeting American embassy personnel for death/injury??? (Or did they?)
Why in the world did we borrow hundreds of billions of dollars from the Chinese, leaving us in hock to them, and why did we spill God knows how much American blood in the sands of Iraq and Afghanistan to keep out Al-Qai'da, if we're now going to create a bridgehead for them in Kosovo, straight into the very heart of Eastern Europe????
Beam me up, Scotty!
I never said the Serbian people as a whole did this but rather a group of terrorists. And I do not care about the terrorist’s religion while they burn an American Embassy to the ground.
Ya know, dude, brute nationalism may be the only thing standing between us and Greater Azatlan. I don't know about you but I don't want my children growing up in Mexico Norte.
“What must they do to get us to stomp them?”
Kosovo became a go-to place for jihadi before 9/11 and continued to be so and still is.
It’ll devolve its way into the usual pusspot and need a thorough draining before this war is over.
Sure they’ll demand, and they’ll get, for awhile. But it’s already known to produce nasties and that’s only going to get worse now. Something bad enough to demand the sternest sort of attention will come out of Kosovo. That’s a given.
Now, Serbia is seperated from all liability and any possible responsibility on that day. And, the Serbs will be in the position to say a real loud “We frickin TOLD YOU SO!!”
It’s not so hard to see what has been taken away by slow degrees over a century plus, to be returned after a good dose of having the dirt beat out of it.
If it is true that the Serbs have signed on with the Iranians for their “protection”, and with the Serbs seeming to work toward giving the Rus a reason to play the trouble maker, I’m really leaning toward a screw em all position.
Not that what I’ve got to say on this or any other issue matters to anyone but me. But, there it is.
What do you expect, we are supporting AQ there.
Pray for W and Our Troops
And George W. Bush thinks every illegal alien is a strong believer in family values.
Huh! and I was told it was the CIA setting up bin-Laden in Afghanistan that did it.
We made war on the Serbs and we should consider ourselves fortunate that they were helpless targets or we may have had to pay a price for our "bombs for peace" rampage.
re: #65.
Donno. Probably because our foreign policy magnates have always been a load of euro-wannabees who couldn’t provide a functional solution to any problem more complex than what to have for breakfast?
I’m not trying to say this is all a good thing, and what silver linings I may see I’m having to put a hella lot of creative effort into seeing... but.. its done.
Maybe we get lucky and it turns into a honey trap surrounded by the type of cultures that don’t play so nicey nice with barbarian scumbags once they get their fight on.
No, pray for our country and our troops...and pray to God that he keeps us safe from more of that inarticulate, half-witted patrician's idiocy.
Sounds like the excuse trotted out by the anti G-8 crew "we ae peaceful, It was just a small group not associated with us, don't even know who they are, But it's really the evtl of Capitalism that forced them to do it"
I actually hope you are correct. I just don’t have much faith in the ability of the West to act.
right.
Many more than I am comfortable with, from what I have been reading of the postings on this topic. I am suspecting some of being sleeper trolls.
I don’t condone it either. But I understand it.
