KOSOVSKA MITROVICA, Kosovo (AP) — Serbs protesting Kosovo's independence for a fifth straight day Friday attacked U.N. police guarding a key bridge in northern Kosovo with stones, glass bottles and firecrackers on Friday.

Serbia's prime minister appealed for calm as the European Union condemned rioting in the capital Belgrade overnight when demonstrators attacked the U.S. embassy and other Western mission. The United States and EU heavyweights Britain, France and Germany have formally recognized Kosovo.

Serbian President Boris Tadic called an emergency meeting of the national security council, saying the riots that engulfed the capital overnight must "never happen again."

In Serb-dominated northern Kosovo, demonstrators waved Serbian flags and chanted "Kosovo is ours!" Police tried to keep protesters off the Kosovska Mitrovica bridge over the Ibar River. The bridge, which divides Kosovo Serbs from ethnic Albanians, has long been a flashpoint of tensions in Kosovo's restive north

and one thing I have always known is it is very bad to upset a Serbian.

I'm glad to hear that.

What the hell is wrong with the SMALL minority of Freepers that show up on all these threads to support the jihadists????

Who are these guys??? what is motivating them???
Is it “My country right or wrong” thinking carried to absurd lengths???

I suppose when Obama becomes CIC and sends our boys to some hellhole to support commies and other assorted lowlife they will be waving flags and supporting that as well?

Serbs = longtime Christian friends and allies = the GOOD GUYS.

Albanians in Kosovo = Jihadi scum that want us all DEAD = the BAD GUYS.

Pretty much sums it up.

I wish I could agree with you there, wideawake ... but that Michael New case pretty much killed any initiative on the part of American soldiers over there ... Under UN Rule.

You’re wasting your time posting to one of quite a few people here who, believe it or not, support the burning of Christian churches by Kosovo Muslims.

Davoren has no authority over UN operations genius.

He has authority over his troops, and all commands from KFOR Commander Xavier de Marnhac go through him. If he believes his orders violate the UCMJ, he will stand down.

No one, especially not myself, has suggested that Davoren's force should attack the Serbs.

I simply pointed out that if the Serbs attacked the geography under Davoren's protection, his force would make short work of them.

If you believe that, then you sure as hell ain’t wideawake pal.

Says the man who attributes statements to me that I didn't make.

You must be the Ben Affleck version of Jack Ryan.

islamic appeasers and apologist are what they are. Those that make it dangerous for the rest of us.

Bob, nothing on FR shocks me any longer. Somewhere along the line they've drank the kool-aid. Can they be saved? I don't know but supporting or excusing jihadists bullies is not the way.

When the Kosovo Jihadists go after the Catholics, I hope the Serbs will stand by their fellow Christians more willingly than they’ve received support from them.

Michael New is regarded by most US soldiers who are even aware of his existence as a crackpot shirker, not a hero.

3,000 of those Blue Helmets are US soldiers. And they will wipe the floor with any force of Serbs that confronts them.

If they were allowed to follow US Rules Of Engagement, you'd be correct. Do you think that's the case? Whatever happened to that US soldier who got in trouble for refusing to serve under the Baby Blues?

I support any measure our troops consider necessary against terrorist thugs who firebomb US embassies.

What about terrorist thugs who attack U.S. mliitary bases on our own soil?

I guess my disdain for you and your incessant ramblings didn't come through in my post. Let there be no doubt now.

I support the DOJ's actions to round up and imprison such individuals.
