A western lackey? Good thing you don't live in the west! Heaven forbid that anyone who is somewhat friendly to the west ever leads a nation!

Good lord, what is wrong with you people?

[foreign policy wonk]

His latest anti-mafia measures are what did him in.

[mhking]

Didn't WWI start with an assassination? (tongue only partly in cheek)

[Indy Pendance]

You're right. The day planes flew into the World Trade Center, into the Pentagon and into a field in Pennsylvania, we should have waited for an official story with a link.

From where I sit, it appears that we moderators are on the same page. Occasionally we disagree, but those tend to be on specific articles rather than in general in philosophy. Thanks, AM

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!! You owe me a new keyboard!

[William McKinley]

I said it before, and I will say it again. Don't even go there.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Because it is a birthday in dog years?

[Destro]

imply is not the same as propose. Oh by the way assasinations of Prime Ministers are usually conspiracies..unless it's a lone gunman.

"Steiner's order arrived on Tuesday and already today 40 administative employees in the old legislature started to move out. They will continue to extend to Strpce citizens all kinds of services concerning the state of Serbia, but in other premises," Ilic said.

One can propose something by implying it. As a matter of fact, that is the preferred way for propagandists and cowards to propose things.

[Destro]

On paper they were antiimafia measures from what I read. But it's possible.

[ohioman]

The main thing I know is that Djindjic gave up his country's sovereignty and Milo, for his personal power. Payback's a bitch.

[William McKinley]

By the way, I did NOT just propose that you are either a propagandist or a coward, or both.

Cheers.

Do not post personal information on Free Republic. Even if the guy did so himself on another thread. Thanks, AM

UNMIK's evication notice to the Serb authority Djindjic set up in defiance of NATO comes just in time when authority in Belgrade is decapitated. Coincidence I am sure. Thank U Fitz for that timely post.
