Albanians Turn on NATO ‘Liberators,’ as War Explodes in Kosovo Posted on Thursday, March 18 @ 11:40:00 EST by CDeliso

The seemingly spontaneous street war that erupted yesterday between Albanians and Serbs in Kosovo confirms exactly what kind of a ‘success’ the West has created in Kosovo. At least 22 people, including a French KFOR peacekeeper reported dead and hundreds more wounded; machine gunners firing at will, churches and mosques ablaze, whole populations chafing at the bit, programmed to seek and destroy.

has france surrendered?

[Gringo1]

The French government has not been heard from as they are still setting up their government-in-exile in Britain.


That is why they built the chunnel.....so the French government could escape faster(they keep a copy of the surrender documents there too, just fill in the date and name of conquering country)

[etcetera]

Good! NATO can now side with the Serbs and correct the big mistake Clinton made.

[TexasRepublic]

I used to not understand what the fighting in the Balkans was all about. Now I do - BLOODY ISLAM!

[Vinnie]

Clinton assured us that we would be out of there in 6 months.

[jocko12]

I HOPE THIS IS ONE CLINTON MESS THAT BUSH DOSE HAVE TO CLEAN UP.

>>>I used to not understand what the fighting in the Balkans was all about. Now I do - BLOODY ISLAM!

'fraid you still don't.

[Robert_Paulson2]

you are spot on.

[GeraldP]

If we could only squeeze all of the world's problems into a bottle, then all we would have to do is put a cap on the bottle.

Arab Islam is a big problem as a civilization and a culture, however to put the same stamp on the Muslims of the Balkans is a mistake.

according to the russians at itar-tass:

BELGRADE, March 18 (Itar-Tass) - “We strongly condemn the instigators of the current riots in Kosovo and want them to be stopped immediately, since they may explode the situation both within the territory and in the entire region,” Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Razov stated here on Thursday, commenting on the current situation in Kosovo. “The Russian side is ready to take part in the search for ways to settle this problem by means of the instruments it possesses,” Razov stated. The Russian deputy foreign minister had planned to visit Kosovo in the course of his three-day visit to Serbia and Montenegro. However, in reply to a request from Head of the U.N. Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo Harry Holkeri, the visit had to be put off due to the dangerous situation there.

The situation in Kosovo is still very tense – Albanian extremists are attacking the Serbs, the U.N. police and International KFOR units. Dozens of houses in the predominantly Serbian villages were burned down. The U.N. police and KFOR soldiers are waging real battles against throngs of Albanians. At least fifteen men were killed and not less than three hundred others were wounded during the Wednesday clashes of Albanian extremists with Serbs, KFOR soldiers, and U.N. policemen. These figures were released by the Crisis HQ of the Clinical Centre of Pristina University.

The most dangerous situation is in the village of Chaglavica, not far from Pristina, where approximately one thousand Serbs had lived. The Albanians broke through the U.N. police cordons into the village forcing Serbian women and children to flee to the neighbouring Serbian village of Laple-Selo. About ten U.N. police vehicles are aflame on the road into Chaglavica. About thirty armoured cars of the American KFOR contingent were moved into the village. The Americans were able to save the lives of at least ten wounded servicemen of the international force. Serbian houses are aflame in the village.

Albanians attacked on Wednesday afternoon the several dozens of Serbians, still remaining in Pristina. Their apartments were stoned and incendiary bombs were hurled into them. A curfew was clamped down on the city on Wednesday. However, according to a report of the Serbian BETA News Agency, about two thousand armed Albanians were moved towards the city from other districts of Kosovo.

Albanian extremists have set fire to the Holy Archangel Orthodox Monastery near the town of Prizren. The Monastery had celebrated the 650th anniversary of its foundation two years ago. The St. George Church in Prizren is also on fire. The Albanians ransacked a Serbian Orthodox Church in Djakovica, where five women had sought asylum. The fate of about two hundred Serbs from Gnilan in eastern Kosovo is still unknown. All the Serbian houses there were burned down. The population of Gnilan tried to flee to Serbia, but only five burned automobiles were so far found on the Bujanovac-Gnilan road with no bodies inside. The Albanians had most likely captured them all.

The Belgrade television describes the Kosovo events as an “ethnic purge”. There are about two million Albanians and 70-100 thousand Serbians and people of other nationalities living in Kosovo today. Increasing numbers of Serbian politicians believe Kosovo will shortly be “ethnically clean” due to the Wednesday massive exodus of Serbians from their lands, which can be expected to continue in the next few days. After that the Albanians will be able to declare their independence from Serbia.

Head of the Serbian Government’s Coordination Committee on Kosovo Affairs Neboija Chovic has accused the U.N. police in Kosovo and KFOR for “guarding only themselves”. For his part, Head of the Interim U.N. Administration Mission in Kosovo Harry Holkeri described Wednesday as “a black day for Kosovo”. He called on the population to keep the peace and to give the U.N. police and KFOR soldiers a chance to guarantee “safety for every citizen”.

It was learned that an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council on the situation in Kosovo would be held in New York on Thursday.

Serbian news reports a Danish peacekeeper killed.

[Paul C. Jesup]

'fraid he DOES. It's the same problem all over the world: a satanic death cult that cannot abide human civilization.

Are we talking about Muslims or Socialists? Or both?

[GeraldP]

No, not just Arab Islam, fundamentalist Islam in general, of the Wahabbi style that has originated in Saudi Arabia and spread to southeastern Asia and northern Africa. This fundamentalist Islam has not taken root in the Balkans and specifically among Albanians. Radical Islam must be eradicated by any means, however the answer to radical Islam is not radical anti-Islamism.

[Paul C. Jesup]

Sometimes socialists can ACT like civilized human beings.

The doesn't mean that socialists ARE civilized human beings.

Besides socialism has killed more people than islam.
