Ping!
after that last stupid bloodbath thread,
i don’t want to be on this ping any more.
thanks.
I worked with a ton of these people and on the whole, they acted rude and entitled and they were like tits on a boar with a couple exceptions.
Imagine that, Kosovo Serbs saving American lives in the front lines of the War on Terror. Don’t look for any of your beloved Albanian Jihadists on our side of the lines there!
Albania has troops in Iraq and has said they will say in Iraq as long as America does. They have troops in Afghanistan too. Serbia doesn’t.
Funny, so do Taliban troops.
But that does not make them good guys.
I’ve seen some of your posts, and your running feud with Diocletian...most entertaining. Can you offer me an explanation for current pro-Kosovar U.S. policy?
Btw, you are aware of Albania’s co-operation with Iran aren’t you?

LONDON, July 5 (IranMania) - Iran’s Ambassador to Tirana, Ali Beman Eqbali Zarech held a meet with the Albanian director of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Tirana Gjoke Uldedaj, MNA reported.
Referring to the sides’ potentials in trade, Uldedaj welcomed the expansion of ties between the sides’ private companies and investors.
He also called the countries’ chambers of commerce and industry to boost their ties through dispatching delegations and holding fairs.
Eqbali Zarech, for his part, welcomed the reinforcement of mutual economic relations, introducing Iran’s potentials in the fields of energy, construction, agriculture, and consumer good.
The Iranian diplomat voiced Iran’s enthusiasm on foreign investors’ presence in the country.”

From many of your previous posts you give the impression that you “hate” all that cooperate with Iran...seems your “beloved” Albanians are also working with Iran and have been for some time!

“Serbia Will Send Troops And Police to Afghanistan
By ELAINE SCIOLINO
Published: October 4, 2003
The United States has accepted an offer by Serbia and Montenegro to send up to 1,000 combat troops and police officers to Afghanistan to join American forces there, senior Serbian officials and foreign diplomats said today...”

Soldiers from Albania are far removed from the criminal and Jihadist element that have moved into Kosovo. They share a nationality and the similarities end there.
Beyond the initial need of the Clinton administration to get Monica off the headlines, the continuation of our policy in Kosovo appears to work against our self interest.
Economic involvement with Iran is one thing, but Serbia has a military security pact with Iran. That’s different.
You can either believe that the US government supports Kosovo because they support jihad and want to destroy Christianity, or you can believe that we don’t give a crap about Balkan ethnic squabbles and we are advancing our own national interests by extending our permanent military presence into Southeastern Europe, closer to the Middle East.
Supporting a Jihadist state where Christian churches are put to the torch does not advance our own national interests. Period.
“but Serbia has a military security pact with Iran.”
And your point is ???
Serbia has military/security pacts with several countries...including the US. The Serbian army even trains with Americans in Ohio (see: http://www.vojska.mod.gov.yu/eng/MVS/Ohajo/01.07.2007_bolja_komunikacija_sa_svetom.html)
Serbia also contributes to UN peacekeeping forces in Libera, Ivory Coast and DR Congo.
My point is that the protests by Serbs that the US supports “jihadists” ring hollow because the Serbs are military allies with the most evil jihadists on Earth.
Perhaps you can explain how retreating from the area is in our interest. (rather than in the interests of foreign powers)
