Yesterday, US President George W. Bush met with President and Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo.

After an hour meeting behind closed doors, leaders of both nations gave a brief press conference.

President Bush stated that he is honored to welcome the president and prime minister of an independent Kosovo to the Oval Office. "I am a strong supporter of Kosovo's independence. I'm against any partition of Kosovo. I believe strongly that the United Nations mission must be handed over to the EU as quickly as possible. I am proud of Kosovo nation and your support of minority rights, the full implementation of the Ahtisaari plan," said US President.

President Bush stressed that during the meeting they discussed various issues, problems that Kosovo faces. "I pledged that the United States would continue to work with those nations that have not recognized an independent Kosovo to convince them to do so as quickly as possible. We also talked about economics, education and Kosovo's transatlantic aspirations to join NATO and become a member of the European Union,” added Bush.

"I mentioned to both these leaders that they were sitting right below the portrait of George Washington, the founder of a free United States. I appreciate your courage. I appreciate your leadership. And I commit the United States to help you realize your dreams," concluded Bush.

The President of the Republic of Kosovo, Fatmir Sejdiu, said: "It's an extraordinary occasion for us to be received by President Bush, to convey to him all of the aspirations and all the thanks of the Kosovar people. The Kosovo people have been following democracy… the principles of democracy and freedom. We guaranteed President Bush that we will continue on this road towards building a strong democratic country for all citizens, and at the same time to implement the Ahtisaari document. We will have excellent relations with all our neighbors, including Serbia. Our progress will be with the integration into NATO and the EU."

Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Hashim Thaçi, said: "Today's meeting with President Bush not only reiterates the fact that we are closely connected with the United States, but will always be their trustful friend, forever. We have always trusted the United States and trusted the development of our country and that it will be to the benefit of the international development. The Kosovo government and the Kosovo people will always bow in deep respect for the United States. [Kosovo] is a joint success story. We are building a democratic Kosovo… affirmative action for the minorities. We'll develop economic… Kosovo economically. We'll have excellent relations with all our neighbors, and in the future with Serbia. As a sovereign and democratic country we want to be part of NATO and part of the EU and have excellent relations with the United States. This is our pledge, this is our responsibility, and this is our vision. "

"Events are more important than the words which accompany them"

You have made the same alligations time after time, and none of those times have you brought credible sources; evidence. If he had been half the man that Serbia claims him to be, he wouldn't be where he is today. There would have been international indictments or warrants from interpol by this time.

You just want to deceive yourself, and perhaps persuade someone on this forum that "the Snake" Thaci, wanted by Interpol, sentenced to 20 years of jail for attacking and killing police officers, the leader of the Drenica group and the mafia kingpin of Kosovo is not a criminal?

Keep living in a myth.

The nick name ' Snake' was given to him by the Serbs.

You keep mentioning that he is wanted by Interpol...well Amused, where's the warrants from Interpol? Where's the international indictments?

If he is wanted, they can catch him any time they want. I don't see him hiding and running, like some Santa Clause in disguise( unlike various Serbs ).

I leave that to Serbia; doing what she does best.

When Thaci was arrested in Budapest in 2003, it needed a Xavier Solana to persuade the authorities in Hungary to set the scumbag free.

The bastard is protected by Uncle Sam and his arse lickers in Europe. That's why he is free. Still.

KLA rebels train in terrorist camps

By Jerry Seper

THE WASHINGTON TIMES

May 4, 1999

Some members of the Kosovo Liberation Army [headed by the current Kosovo Prime minister Hashim Thaci] , which has financed its war effort through the sale of heroin, were trained in terrorist camps run by international fugitive Osama bin Laden -- who is wanted in the 1998 bombing of two U.S. embassies in Africa that killed 224 persons, including 12 Americans.

The KLA members, embraced by the Clinton administration in NATO's 41-day bombing campaign to bring Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic to the bargaining table, were trained in secret camps in Afghanistan, Bosnia-Herzegovina and elsewhere, according to newly obtained intelligence reports.

The reports also show that the KLA has enlisted Islamic terrorists -- members of the Mujahideen --as soldiers in its ongoing conflict against Serbia, and that many already have been smuggled into Kosovo to join the fight.

Known to its countrymen as the Ushtria Clirimatare e Kosoves, the KLA has as many as 30,000 members, a number reportedly on the rise as a result of NATO's continuing bombing campaign. The group's leadership, including Agim Ceku, a former Croatian army brigadier general, has rapidly become a political and military force in the Balkans.

The intelligence reports document what is described as a "link" between bin Laden, the fugitive Saudi millionaire, and the KLA --including a common staging area in Tropoje, Albania, a center for Islamic terrorists. The reports said bin Laden's organization, known as al-Qaeda, has both trained and financially supported the KLA.

Many border crossings into Kosovo by "foreign fighters" also have been documented and include veterans of the militant group Islamic Jihad from Bosnia, Chechnya and Afghanistan. Many of the crossings originated in neighboring Albania and, according to the reports, included parties of up to 50 men.

Jane's International Defense Review, a highly respected British Journal, reported in February that documents found last year on the body of a KLA member showed that he had escorted several volunteers into Kosovo, including more than a dozen Saudi Arabians. Each volunteer carried a passport identifying him as a Macedonian Albanian.

Bin Laden and his military commander, Mohammed Atef, were named in a federal indictment handed up in November in New York for the simultaneous explosions Aug. 7 at the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The indictment accused the two men of directing the attacks, which injured more than 5,000 people.

The indictment said bin Laden, working through al-Qaeda, forged alliances with government officials in Iran, the National Islamic Front in the Sudan and an Iranian terrorist organization known as Hezbollah. He was indicted earlier this year by a federal grand jury in New York for his suspected terrorist activities.

The al-Qaeda is believed to have targeted U.S. embassies and American soldiers stationed in Saudi Arabia and Somalia. The organization also is accused of housing and training terrorists, and of raising money to support their causes.

The State Department, along with other federal agencies, offered a $5 million reward last year for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the two men. Mr. Clinton ordered a retaliatory attack on training bases controlled by bin Laden in Afghanistan and a chemical factory near Khartoum, Sudan, after the bombings.

Last year, while State Department officials labeled the KLA a terrorist organization, saying it bankrolled its operations with proceeds from the heroin trade and from loans from known terrorists like bin Laden, the department listed the group as an "insurgency" organization in its official reports. The officials charged that the KLA used terrorist tactics to assault Serbian and ethnic Albanian civilians in a campaign to achieve independence.

The KLA's involvement in drug smuggling as a means of raising funds for weapons is long-standing. Intelligence documents show it has aligned itself with an extensive organized crime network in Albania that smuggles heroin to buyers throughout Western Europe and the United States. Drug agents in five countries believe the cartel is one of the most powerful heroin smuggling organizations in the world.

The documents show heroin and some cocaine is moved over land and sea from Turkey through Bulgaria, Greece and Yugoslavia to Western Europe and elsewhere. The circuit has become known as the "Balkan Route."

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration said in a recent report that drug smuggling organizations composed of Kosovo's ethnic Albanians were considered "second only to Turkish gangs as the predominant heroin smugglers along the Balkan Route."

Greek Interpol representatives have called Kosovo's ethnic Albanians "the primary sources of supply for cocaine and heroin in that country."

France's Geopolitical Observatory of Drugs said the KLA was a key player in the rapidly expanding drugs-for-arms business and helped transport $2 billion in drugs a year into Western Europe.

German drug agents said $1.5 billion in drug profits is laundered annually by Kosovo smugglers, through as many as 200 private banks or currency-exchange offices.

Jane's Intelligence Review estimated in March that drug sales could have netted the KLA profits in the "high tens of millions of dollars." It said the KLA had rearmed itself for a spring offensive with the aid of drug money, along with donations from Albanians in Western Europe and the United States.

The KLA were identified as a terrorist organization by US special envoy Robert Gelbard.

That's all about your credibility. And please stop insulting mine and everyone else's intelligence.

Jumping to personal attacks won't help your arguments Amused.

Jerry Seper doesn't hold it, you have to do better than that. Where's the warrants from Interpol? Where's the international indictments? Where are these so called documents this guy is referring to?

We all know who the leader of the KLA terrorist organization is, don't we? The very guy Dubya shakes hands with.

TrueAlbo2006 · #20 (**permalink**) 07-23-2008, 10:13 PM

ahahahahahahahah

And the warrant was issued by Milosevic.hahhahahahah..I knew you still adore him...

It its irrelevant. It's similar to as issuing a warrant back in 1770 against George Washington who is the father of the American Nation.

Thaci is the father of Kosovar Nation.

Come on dude...I like LDP's quote yesterday. "Media in Serbia is still controlled by Communists and Fascists. People are so brainwashed that they still believe that we're in 19 century. "
