Another war on the way?
Sure looks like it.
The EU and UN pack their graft and flee. There’s a shocker.
Where this will end, nobody knows.
Iran?
The Euroweenies are surrendering again?
The sun will rise again tomorrow...
Get our troops out of this civil war and let them settle their own affairs.
Looks like France is leading the way once again...
Earth to Bush - STAY OUT OF THIS MESS!
Of course the EU pulls out.
Get our troops out of this abomination. What were the President and Rice thinking? Uphold UN resolution 1244.
This was the war that Hillary started to get Bill off the newspaper headlines about his screwing Monica Lewinsky.
This turned out well. Kosovo will become another failed Muslim state ripe for the pickings by al-Qaeda. The only way to prop it up will be with huge amounts of US money. The Kosovars may be waving American flags now, but I predict they will soon be burning them.
Spineless EU, and guess who gets to clean up the mess?
A little confusion from the article: So EU forces have withdrawn from nothern Kosovo and Serbian irregulars are in charge, but KFOR is still at the actual border between Kosovo and Serbia and not letting Serbs through th checkpoints. Is that correct?
“But Mr Ivanovic, is sceptical. “In case of real clashes KFOR will first protect themselves and then come to count the causalities.”
Talk about handwriting on the wall. There is no way the Serbs are going to turn over at the very least northern Kosovo with what 120,000 Serbs in that region. They’ve been through the 78 day NATO bombing campaign so they know exactly the worst they might POSSIBLY expect. But there are major differences between 99 and today. Right now we’re engaged on two other fronts and there is constant sceaming to bring the troops home and I don’t think our NATO allies are all that excited about Kosovo once real bullets start flying. Also, in 99 Russia was in absolute tatters owing the IMF something on the order of $200 billion with an economy on life support spiraling downward and no help in sight. Several years ago Russia paid off those external debts and now is running a huge trade surplus with $1 bln per day coming in from crude sales alone. Russia is slowly isolating Europe from an energy viewpoint so that’s another reason the Euro’s will think long and hard before any serious engagement.
There’s no doubt this is going to boil over, the only question is at this point how important is an independent Kosovo to the US?
