Eighteen KFOR soldiers have been wounded during an attack by extremist Albanians on the church of the Holy King Uros in Urosevac. A Greek soldier has sustained second degree burns and three KFOR vehicles have been burned, KFOR advised on Saturday evening.
In a detailed report of events in Urosevac on Wednesday afternoon, it is reported that a group of about 500 extremist Albanians attacked the observation checkpoint guarded by Greek soldiers in front of the church in Urosevac with rocks and Molotov cocktails.
According to a statement issued from the U.S. military base Bondsteel, during the course of the evening about 200 Molotov cocktails, 15 grenades and large quantity of rocks were thrown at the soldiers and the church. Three KFOR vehicles were set on fire and two were damaged.
The violent demonstrators, the report adds, attempted to break into the church but were stopped by the soldiers who withdrew into the church but the attackers continued to throw grenades and Molotov cocktails. The attack continued even after the commanding officer of the Greek forces ordered the soldiers to fire warning shots into the air to disperse the demonstrators, who numbered between 1,000 and 3,000.
The attacks continued even after a Greek rapid reaction force unit evacuated the soldiers from the church. The attackers continued to throw Molotov cocktails at the vehicles of the rapid reaction force unit and began to disperse only after U.S. forces began to drop tear gas from helicopters to ensure the evacuation of the soldiers, the KFOR statement says.

WWIII is a global civil war against Jews and Christians waged by an alliance of global socialists and Jihadists.

Announce that henceforth all riots will have "Shoot to Kill" orders.
Shoot to kill the rioters.

This is F'ing unaccetable.
The Albanians are attacking NATO troops and NATO is doing squat about it.

President Bill Clinton's administration was an active ally of the global socialists and tolerant of the Islamofascists. He had the same objective: to diminish the power and influence of Christianity and Judaism so it can be replaced by overt socialism.
This is why the Eurosocialists loved President Clinton, he was an ally.
This is why they are so vehemently opposed to President Bush. Bush has opposed Kyoto, the ICC, the reign of the UN etc etc. Bush has opposed growing the infrastructure of global socialism. Thus Bush is hated, absolutely hated, by these people.
It is WWIII. It is socialism/Jihadists versus Jews/Christians.
And the US government alliance is dependent upon whether Kerry or Bush is in office.

To: JackRyanCIA
Yep. Muslims. Causing trouble the world over. Bosnia, Serbia, Kosovo, Macedonia.....
To: JackRyanCIA
Yes. 90% of Albanians are Muslims. The militant Muslims are attempting to purge the region of Christians.

I would presume so. If it was extremist Christians, you'd see that fact reported in the headline, but extremists of any other religion (particularly the Religion of Peace) get a pass.
To: Mark Felton
Pull our troops out and leave it to the euro-wienies to sort out, that would make for some fine entertainment.

I have long tolled the warning bell about the islamo-fascist drive for global caliphate. It is only recently that I learned first hand what a close ally they have in the socialists.
About ten days ago I was out of the country on business. I had one of those impromptu conversations with strangers that often happen on trips like this. One of the conversants was a talented, educated Canadian woman. Her take on the bombings in Spain was, and I quote, "A beautiful thing happened in Spain last week". She said that she meant the results of the election but she acknowledged that the socialists won on the blood of over 200 innocents slaughtered by the terrorists. This was just fine with her, after all, the result was a "win".

What the heck is wrong with these Albanians?! We correctly saved them from Milosevic's genocide, and now they want to return the favor by these kind of hate crimes and human rights violations against Serbian Kosovars. What jerks!

>>>>>We correctly saved them from Milosevic's genocide<<<<<
What genocide? If you have proof, send it to ICTY because according to them, there was no genocide in Kosovo.
Also, you can show it to NATO general who said "we bombed the wrong side".
Kosovo campaign is the most shameful campaign of US Armed forces ever. No wonder, having in mind who was a Commander in Chief at the time.
Kosovo is lasting Clinton legacy, a gift that keeps on giving.
