(But let’s watch us spurn it and hand it back to the jihadists on a silver platter): “BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) Independent observers say Serbian voters have approved a new constitution that reasserts Serbia’s claim over the breakaway Kosovo province.”
I can hear it already: “Serbian nationalism!” “Serbia’s gone Milosevic again!” “Serbian Intransigence!” (referring to the fact that the Serbs have mustered a testicle to protect their country’s border integrity because they don’t want what’s left of their 13th Century monasteries to be reduced to the rubble that any church or synagogue or Buddhist temple is reduced to under the stewardship of Muslims. (150 churches and monasteries in Kosovo already are rubble; see below an Albanian urinating on a destroyed church while his pal snaps a picture with his cell phone. Was Bush mispronouncing “Religion of Piss”?)
(UCK is the Albanian acronym for KLA.)
Serbs also don’t see how giving Kosovo independence will help reduce the slave- and drug-trafficking, terrorism planning, weapons smuggling and ethnic purification that runs rampant there as it is.
So let’s see if the Free World links up with the jihadists again to pummel the Christian Serbs. Can’t wait!
In a post last week, I quoted an article that read (emphasis added), “Serbs claim a radical Islamist wahabi movement, financed with Saudi money, has been active in the region lately, contributing to ethnic tension there. Serbs say that Saudis have been paying Muslim women to wear Islamic robes and veil in public - contrary to the region’s traditions.”
But you don’t have to be a Serb to observe the takeover. You can be a Scotsman, a Jew, a Brit or a Muslim — and you could have done it a decade ago:
Hell, you can even be al-Jazeera, which was the only news organization to carry this Reuters report last year: “Daily Violence in Kosovo Rattles UN”:
A series of bombings and beatings in Kosovo may be part of a drive to put pressure on the United Nations to grant independence to the ethnic Albanian majority this year, UN officials and diplomats say…a pattern of almost daily acts of violence this month — some aimed at international officials — is worrying Kosovo’s UN overseers and the 18,500-strong NATO-led peace force.
…”There’s been an increase to almost one per day,” Kai Vittrup, the Danish head of the 3000-strong UN police force, said…The more serious attacks included a bomb blast targeting President Ibrahim Rugova’s convoy on 15 March, which he escaped from unhurt, and a vicious attack on two elderly Serbs on Monday, for which there have as yet been no arrests.
Or you can be an Albanian-American KLA fundraiser and weapons smuggler who admits in a Dutch filmmaker’s PBS documentary that he accepted help from al Qaeda, saying “I would have taken help from the devil.” (Note: the devil’s got nothing on the KLA.)
Some more fun progress in our Kosovo “Mission Accomplished” Nation-building project:
“Kosovo drug baron among terrorists”
“Kosovo Albanian drug-boss admits friendship with al Qaeda leader”
“Kosovo Albanian implicated in Norway terror”
But look on the bright side. At least Bosnia is a success: “‘Bosnian leaders ignore testimonies on mujahidin crimes’ –ex-Al-Qa’idah officer” (from BBC Monitoring, but forgive the URL for it).
