That is it so far.
He's fine - but they've captured his sons.
In the end he made too many enemies--the last enemy he made was NATO.
At least they can't blame Slobo for this one.
Monty Python's Pet Store clerk: "No, he's just sleeping."
OH, if ONLY it had said "Link" instead of "Source"! Then you'd be right, instead of so embarassingly wrong.
Al-Quaeda is not in a very good shape right now. Sheikh Mohammed was the mastermind not only of 9/11 but most of the other terror attacks starting with the '93 WTC bombing. If he's the only guy they had with enough brain cells to plan attacks, then we at least have no reason for pessimism now that he's been captured.
Didn't he have something to do with Vladislav Kostunica not getting to be President of Serbia even though he got 66% of the vote on two separate occasions?
PS: for whoever referred to 1914: Archduke Ferdinand (who was on the outs with the Austrian monarchy since he had married a "commoner" and whose death was seen by Austria NOT as a tragedy but as a very good pretext to start the war they had been hankering to have) was shot in the Serbian-majority province of Bosnia-Herzegovina, WHICH HAD BEEN ANNEXED BY AUSTRIA IN 1908, not in Serbia. It was precisely the fact that Austria had annexed B-H instead of letting it be part of Serbia which led to the radicalization of some of the native Serbs of the province. There was no good reason for Austria to declare war on Serbia, since that gov't had in fact agreed to every single Austrian demand. But, like MAD-elene Albright in 1999, those with power wanted a war.

As for being anti-American - what is US led NATO troops doing helping and protecting a known drug and terrorist haven like Kosovo for? And why do they get itchy when the Serbs want to re-assert Serbian authority as per agreement?
Only apatriot would pose such a question only an unthinking Serf would not think to ask. By the way the Republican majority congress during Clinton's term VETOED military authorization for Kosovo so supporting Kosovo is ANTI-American and anti-Republican in my book.
Funny how the Serb PM was killed just s he started to call for the re-assertion of Serbian authority in Kosovo?? In the end he made too many enemies--the last enemy he made was NATO.Not at all.
He just made too many enemies, and the last enemy was NATO. Now he's dead. But you weren't proposing or implying anything, no siree Bob.
I really, really hate people that don't even have the guts to say what they are saying.
