October 27, 2007 SERBIANNA
US Ambassador to Bosnia, Charles English, has issued a threat to the democratically elected President of Serb entity in Bosnia insisting that the elected Serb lawmakers must accept laws international administrator is making otherwise American response on Bosnian Serbs will be "swift and powerful".
"Conflict with the High Representative is the conflict with USA. The safety and stability of Bosnia Herzegovina is in the interest of United States and we are prepared to defend it," said English in an interview to Bosnian news agencies.

"[I]f the path of the conflict continues, the reaction of United States will be swift and powerful," English warned Bosnian Serbs.
The Slovak international administrator of Bosnia, Miroslav Lajcak, has enacted a law on October 19 that bans voting procedures established by the international peace treaty for Bosnia reached in 1995 in Dayton arguing that the Annex 10 of that agreement makes the administrator the final arbiter of any Bosnian laws and not the people who have elected lawmakers.
As a result, the dominant Bosnian Serb party has threatened to leave the parliament while Serbia's Prime Minister stated that Belgrade will offer any and every support to the Bosnian Serbs seeking to preserve the spirit of the law of the Dayton Accords. Bosnian Muslims, who have long sought to abolish the Serb entity and establish Islamic domination over Serbs, have accused Serbian premier of meddling in Bosnia.

Ping!
The US Department of State has been taken over by arabists - such a waste of a good organization ...
US Foreign Policy since the end of the Cold War has been terrible.
What kind of flag is that?
Somehow I believe that US lost cold war by its failed foreign policy...
Clinton lost what Raegan won...
I’m a bit confused.
We’re fighting islamic extremists in Iraq, and perhaps soon Iran. Islamic extremists attacked NYC.
Russia is fighting islamic extremists in Chechnia. Islamic extremists attacked that school in Moscow.
When allies of Russia fight against people who seem very much like people America is being attacked by — that’s a bad thing?
Why?
Am I just not understanding something?
seriously. Why are we taking this position?
a clinton legacy...another stain but not on a blue dress!!!!
when was it any good (in recent history)?
Two Bushes post-Reagan too.
The Serbs and the Russians had better be ready for this.
It’s shameful to see our government behave this way. No wonder no one trusts us.
Without them, it's a Muslim majority State.
So anyone who supports the Serbs in this is supporting the creation of a Muslim majority State.
Math is not, apparently, everybody's friend.
No matter - the Serbs already fought this war, and had their asses handed to them. Much like the case with Kosovo, present Serbian politicians are merely currying favor with the nationalist nutjob segment of the electorate, writing checks they have no intention of cashing when push comes to shove, as it will in the end.
Supporting the Serbs is supporting a Christian people in opposition to the Jihadists.
Only someone who likes bending over for the Muslims will say differently.
I believe it symbolizes the Serbian expat’s in USA, of which there are quite a number. The stars seems replaced with a cross with four cyrillic ‘S’, representing an age-old serbian solidarity slogan.
I thought those were firesteels, in reference to the ones on the last Byzantine Emperor’s banner....
The stench of hypocrisy so pervading it makes me sick and ashamed to be american.
Then the serbs must create a quagmire, and we would back down.
Bump!
