Kosovo debate reaches U.S. Senate

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Senate will this week start discussions "over a Kosovo status resolution.

Senator Joseph Lieberman (FoNet)

The draft resolution, submitted by senators Joseph Lieberman, Joseph Biden, John McCain and Gordon Smith, backs UN special envoy Martti Ahtisaari’s proposal, stating that a supervised independence would be the only possible solution to the province’s status.

The resolution also urges President George Bush to increase U.S. pressure in the UN Security Council in order to have Kosovo declared an independent state, “without redrawing borders.”

The senators also advocate swift establishment of diplomatic ties with Kosovo after its independence, warning however that Priština must approach fulfillment of democratic standards “seriously“, as well as provide security for the Serbs in the province.

Obrad Kesić, a political analyst based in Washington, told B92 the Albanian lobby has already managed to influence the Senate, and confirmed the resolution was ready. Kesić also stressed the senators behind the document, Lieberman in particular, were the leading figures in the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.

“I expect a difficult debate on the subject after the holidays. It is hard to predict whether the resolution will pass,” Kesić said, adding that Senate resolutions were not legally binding and therefore had no direct influence on U.S. foreign policy.

With a 4 year head start, it’s ok that Kosova hasn’t been resolved yet.
but it’s not ok that Iraq isn’t resolved yet ?

The draft resolution, submitted by senators Joseph Lieberman, Joseph Biden, John McCain and Gordon Smith, backs UN special envoy Martti Ahtisaari’s proposal [...] The resolution also urges President George Bush to increase U.S. pressure in the UN Security Council in order to have Kosovo declared an independent state, “without redrawing borders.”

So let us carve up Serbia, redraw Serbia's borders in such a way that many Serbs will be trapped in a new Muslim state.

I would love to see the look on Joe Lieberman's face when someone tells him that there are no Jews left in Kosovo because the KLA kicked them out.

To see if either him or the ADL would care to comment on the KLA's involvement with ethnically cleansing all the Kosovo Jews would certainly be worth seeing.

“supervised independence”

What does that mean in everyday language? Let the dogs loose?

These idiots have no regard for the rule of law. Another reason why they shame America. Separating a state that even has a SERBIAN name and giving it to Muslim Albanians is unprecedented. Mark my words. All the enemies are taking notes. This is their ticket to a free state as long as they can out breed you they will take control in a matter of time.

Lieberman as Jew surprises me. He is the biggest hypocrite of all. He supported the war against Islamic terror and yet he supports it in the Balkans. Amazing.

From Pattriarch Pavle's Message for Easter:

"New Sanhedrin Fights Against Good in This World Just as at that time the old Sanhedrin (the chief priests and leaders of the people) was against Christ the Savior and aroused many people against Christ, so in our time, the “new Sanhedrin” fights against Christ and His Church. This new Sanhedrin fights against Good in this world. It is doing everything it can to make this world its sinful fiefdom and to conquer everything under its authority, by any and all methods and means. This is why it is imperative that all Christians carry on a spiritual warfare for this world and for the dominion of Good in it. The Good that the God-Man has brought and granted to the world by His Resurrection will not be conquered. “Do not fear!” said the Savior. Let us therefore rejoice and be glad as did the chosen people after they crossed the Red Sea exclaiming: Christ is Risen — Gloriously has the Lord been glorified!

Unfortunately, we are witnesses of great sins being committed daily in the world. From conception, the innocent child in its mother’s womb fears for its life. Millions of ordinary people are victims of poverty and hunger, while a few live in unlimited riches and carnal pleasures. Many nations are defending their freedom, earned with blood and suffering, from the aggression of globalization. In the name of false freedom and democracy, preplanned solutions (packaged in advanced) are being imposed. We are witnesses of the newest drama — again, the drama of us Orthodox Serbs — in Kosovo and Metohija. Our people are also afflicted with many tribulations in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in Croatia, and sadly, in Montenegro.

Shouts Can Still be Heard: Crucify, Crucify the Serbian People! We cannot go without mentioning this Pascha the Golgotha and Great Friday of our Kosovo and Metohija; and the darkened conscience of all those who give themselves the right, trampling upon the world’s legal order, to cold-bloodedly pass sentence not only on imposed changes in the status of Kosovo and Metohija, but upon our whole history and culture, and the sovereignty of Serbia! In Kosovo and Metohija the Golgotha of the Serbian people has been taking place for centuries. This is seen by all and known by all except by those who are blind to seeing the truth and deaf for hearing justice. We hear “blacksmiths” speedily forging new nails and new spears with the intention to repeat and prolong the Golgotha of the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija. All this they do with the ‘blessing’ of those who swear upon justice, freedom, and democracy, but only for themselves! However, we still believe in the conscience of objective mankind, which was recently confirmed by the international Tribunal of Justice in the Hague. Even though the highest Court of justice decided this after having reviewed all the documents for and against, the shouts can still be heard: crucify, crucify the Serbian people!

We Cannot Give Up, We Cannot Fear But we, dear spiritual children, cannot give up, cannot fear, because of injustice. Rather, let us commend our whole life to Christ our God! Christ did not commit sin, nor was there deceit in His mouth, and yet He was condemned and crucified. But, He also gloriously resurrected. If, God forbid, the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija undergo one more crucifixion, more terrible than the others, let us remain with Christ: do not slander, do not think evil; rather let us pray, and from the Cross let us witness to God’s love for all and everybody. Let us witness to Christ, the Victor over death, sin and all injustice. Those who do evil to others, do even worse to themselves. Sooner or later, if they do not repent, they will weep bitterly.

Celebrating the Resurrection of Christ with all the world’s Christians, today we rejoice and are glad with them and with all of God’s creation, and joyously exclaim to one and all:

Christ Is Risen! Given at the Serbian Patriarchate in Belgrade at Pascha 2007

"Kosova" is the bastardized version of the province's name, which is [b]Kosovo and Metokhia[b] (Kosovo i Metohija or Kosmet, since the province is made up of the two regions). "Kosova" is something that has no meaning in the Albanian language, whereas Kosovo - in Serbian - does.

Other than being a linguistic anomaly, "Kosova" is used by those who support the Albanian Islamofascist terrorists and ethnic cleansers.

Joseph Lieberman, Joseph Biden, John McCain and Gordon Smith

I don't know anything about Gordon Smith. But Joseph Lieberman, Joseph Biden, and John McCain are charter members of the Senate's Serbophobic rogue's gallery!!!! They are a SHAME on all of us!!!!

However, now something new has been added. The stealth Presidential candidate, Barak "Osama" Hussein Obama, is a good pal of Lieberman, and associated with the Democratic Leadership Council. The DLC is the American branch of the Third Way "liberal" arm of the New World Order.

Obama is a dangerous NWO Manchurian candidate, who hides his sinister nature behind a slick facade and speeches composed of feel-good platitudes. And people are falling for his fakey web of lies. Both he and Hillary Rodham Izetbegovic Khomeini are very dangerous NWO operatives with strong muslim connections.

We would all do well to read and heed Patriarch Pavle's Pascha message. Those Western nations who are persecuting the Serbs "want democracy and freedom only for themselves". But in the 2008 election (among other things), we are in grave danger of losing both here at home to the same NWO monster that is crucifying the Serbian people. We'd do a lot better by doing the right thing, and supporting the Serbs while saying a big NO to NWO politicians like Lieberman, Obama, and Shillary!!!!

Biden & Lieberman are nothing if not predictable -- still loyal to their Albanian Mafia paymasters and unwilling to admit that they are really still in bed with friends of bin Laden. And from what I have read, Smith is a junior senator who is Republican in name only, so this not a suprise.

But McCain is the one who really pisses me off. He was a POW in Vietnam with Lance Sijan , only Sijan never made out. Sijan must be rolling over in his grave now and wouldn't spit on the better part of McCain today if he were still alive. McCain is snake in the grass -- a closet fascist.

Yeah, those “ethnics” that moved in by the thousands and had a gazillion babies in the last few years while the Serbs were forced to move out of their own country. Whatever you say, chief. If you live in S. Texas, be ready for when those “ethnics” take over. Having 7 kids per family and moving your population to another, better off country, until you outnumber the local population does not constitute making that land yours. Period. If Kosovo is given to Albania, it will create a huge precedent. Muslims will know they can do this anywhere. It will not stop at Kosovo, I assure you.

that is going to reassuring to native Americans.

this world is whacked out.
i’m never going to be flippant again (well, almost never, ok sometimes never...oh the heck with it)

check this out....

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=hr110-36

the “sense of the house” house bill is spelling kosovo as kosova...

congress is about to debate this soon.

I’m guessing if the Albanians get what they want, (looks like they will) they will also change the spelling.
