Link to Fusion aka Greg Dority
Enjoy, and try hard not to laugh!
By the way this one is for you Fusion: "The Forces of Freedom are on the move, terrorists (like Baseyev and UBL) tremble!"
He took us to a restaurant called the Black Rooster, which has a courtyard with a thatched roof that was kept wet and dripped sheets of water into old stone runnels, and we ate trout from Lake Ohrid - a fish so rare, and from a lake so clear and deep that Enver Hoxha banned anyone but himself from fishing it, on penalty of thirty year's hard labor. the fish was interesting, but rather more so was the man Shaun brought as his guest - an American named Greg, who came from North Carolina, said he was a journalist working for George magazine in New York, and by his own admission paced the streets of Tirana at all hours of the night gathering, as he put it, "financial intelligence."
I never quite knew what to make of him. He was tall, languid, educated, he spoke with an elaborately courteous southern drawl and he dressed impeccably. He had a strange accent, an odd manner: He kept referring to "the province" which he claimed to visit regularly, when he was speaking of Kosovo, and on those few occasions he used the word he called it Koss-oh-vo, with a long second o. He referred to his present home as being in a nation called Alb-ah-nia.

He gave the impression, as I am sure he half-intended, that he was some kind of American spy - which, when I compared him with the handful of real spies I knew, he almost certainly was not - or else was an extremely inept one. His journalistic contacts were far fewer than he suggested at first, and when I pressed him he could cite only having done an occasional piece on local casinos for a Texas-based journal devoted to gambling. I was puzzled by him, and after spending half a day wandering the back streets fo the city with him and getting hopelessly lost, I concluded that he was probably one of those Walter Mittyish characters who are often thrown up by the atmospheres of strange cities like Tirana - sad men who attach themselves, limpetlike, to the journalists and other temporary figures who briefly settle during the crisis, who eke out an existence in a more drab and banal way than they pretend, and who then, and before they are discovered, pack up and move on somewhere else. I had seen such people before, in Kabul, in Beirut, in Buenos Aires, and he seemed to fit the modus operandi.
EXCELLENT question!! I'm afraid there are still enough hollywood-type liberals out there who have not been (personally) affected closely enough by the daily terrorism to get a grip on reality. It's gonna take an attack on Hollywood itself to get some of these pathetic "head-in-the-sand" types to wake up. THEN, maybe, we can start playing cowboys and muslims and end this thing!
Stay vigilent, stay armed, and NEVER trust a muslim!
In the Kremlin they know they are beat. Chechen Nationalism now reaching the gates of Moscow, where the capitol dwellers shake in fear. Like Adolf Hitler before him, Putin the only member of his staff still believing victory in the Chechen War possible...
Abandoned by the entire world -- save conservative American hawks -- in their epic battle to throw off the steel grip of Russian Federation hegemony, Chechen freedom fighters have indeed accepted limited help from the East as they are abandoned by the shattered economies of the West. Short sighted EU liberals seek to clump Chechnya into "New Markets" -- depressed economic zones to be raped and pillaged by the euro-starved economies of Paris and Berlin.
Thus they turn their backs on the Russian genocide in Chechnya. Pregnant Chechen women incinerated by Russian flamethrowers, teenage boys crushed beneath tank tracks, entire villages rounded up and shot down in cold blood...
This is life in Chechnya as the state sponsored Russian genocide increases its grisly toll of civilian deaths each month. The ex-KGB thug Putin has emptied the prisons of Russia and flooded Chechnya with armed convicts bent on rape and pillage...
Just as in 1836, when Texas freedom fighters stood tall at the Alamo, "fashionable Europe" seems to have sold out the Chechens to stand alone. One can almost hear the misguided rhetoric of today in the same London drawing rooms some century and a half ago...
"Those Texican terrorists should be crushed by Santa Anna..."
"Mexico has the right to destroy these terrorists. Mexico City is soveriegn in San Antonio...
"Crockett and Bowie are nothing but international terrorists financed by American zealots in Tennessee and Arkansas. We must show Santa Anna our support..."
Fortunately, just as Sam Houston did in 1836, the Chechen freedom fighters of today receive extensive financial and political support from high placed Texans. American foreign policy fears not two dollar a gallon gas in 2003 but instead seeks to embrace fifty cent a gallon gas by 2008.
The pipeline is as the pipeline does. Russia cannot be permitted to sustain any form of hegemonism South of the Terek River -- Putin already measured for the long drop by the West...
Russian propagandists seek to turn America's 9/11 tragedy into their own gain. Realising the American public's lack of sophistication concerning foreign policy matters, Moscow seeks to link Chechen Nationalists with Islamic Entente terrorists. The knee-jerk reaction of fear in America today makes the Chechens appear to be easy targets for these lies and mistruths...
Meanwhile US foreign policy hawks continue to supply the government of democratically elected president Maskhadov with weapons and funding. The Chechens must only hold their own until the Spring to realise the Russian withdrawl and final victory...
Thus the greatest fighter on the face of the earth -- Shamil Basayev -- continues to shift the battlefield North. Armed with the ultimate weapon and an unshakeable faith, he seeks to collapse the Russian Federation with one spectacular blow...
Moscow must yield or be destroyed...
The forces of freedom on the move. Europe trembles.
Your floundering political campaign sure could've used that Texas support, huh Greg?
However just know that soon even us few freepers who enjoy making fun of you will grow tired of poking fun at your silly posts, and when that eventually happens then you will then have absolutely no one who even pays attention to your asinine statements.
Until that time i will have a lot of fun laughing at your posts.
The sanity of Fusion is on the lose .....the whole world laughs!
P.S: By the way say hi to the Marines at Gitmo .....however i am shocked they let you lose yet again! Darn .....and i thought security there was tight!
I mean, after all.........when one wants a consultant (ahem) for issues regarding Bosnia, etc., obviously the first place you think to look is Washington, NC.
Hey........................stop laughing.............
