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.

Those Blue Helmet guys can run faster than the Serbs. When Blue Helmets retreat that is.

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

Uh-oh, the FR resident jihadist supporter has shown up. Careful now, you wouldn’t want to make him angry.

So if Serbs believe Kosovo is there historic homeland and the USA, Britain, France and Germany support the Muslims in their independence, what are we to believe will happen in the midEast? I don’t like the looks of this.

Go Serbs! .. Kick their butts.
Drive the jihadi scum from your land.

I’m so ashamed that the US is fighting the good guys yet again.

for the clueless;

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

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

LOL, yeah right. And who’s going to let them. Their commander General Abu Achmed from Iran?

The US component of KFOR, MNTF-E, is commanded by Brigadier General John Davoren, US Army out of Camp Bondsteel.

Well, my mother’s side of the family are from that area of Europe, and one thing I have always known is it is very bad to upset a Serbian.

I've come to the conclusion that our president and the SD have lost their marbles.

I and many others on FR have been asking just how much more damage this administration could do before leaving the WH, here's another fine example.

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

Amen to your post.

Pull our troops outta there before the SHTF. 3,000 American troops against 200,000 angry Serbs are not good survival odds. Not one American loss of life is worth defending a new islamic country in Europe.
