U.S. army unit deploys in north

"As i said before bondsteel should have been build there"
(troika melb)

-- Sure, allow all that revenue generated by US soldiers to flow to KM and Belgrade instead of Pristina? Fine with me, since it might even restart those dilapidated mines at Trepca. But sadly such a scenario wasn't on the table when Bondsteel was designed. Remember that Washington is controlling Albanians not Serbs.

I think freedom of movement is when you go wherever you like without any escort. If you have to "maintain" freedom of movement, there is no such a thing.

Pejoni : “ we have never feelt more free then being under American control…”

Is it what you call independence while the whole world is striving to get rid of them ? I guess all the masks are off now. I appreciate you and your masters. Another Indian reservation this time in Europe.

This might be the best news ever.

Now there is talks that NATO will be reduced from 15,000 to 5,500. YES!!

your right this is the best news ever the NATO OUT and gone to Afghanistan and all other parts of the world and the Serbian peacekeepers and police in to control the situation yes this is good news, and eulex and serbia will be in a joint venture in all Serb parts and all Serbs to return to their homeland, and in other parts the albanians will help the Serbs in keeping the peace this is fantastic news.

True they control us, but Americans are also protecting us, investing, and arming our security force/police. Atleast their soldiers/police arent beating up ppl in the middle of the street just because you can't communicate english with them. Tell you the truth, we have never feelt more free then being under American control, not even under Tito-rule.

God bless American-Albanian alliance.

"...bondsteel should have been build there"
Are you suggesting that spinach grows more in the North? More spinach, more spinach pies, more unexplained power outages, more Albanians escape. Paradise on earth, just to accommodate the wishes of the most deserving, loved and respected, democratic, youngest independent nation in the world.

Hush hush pejoni, how dare you even mouth off about Tito? had it not been for him there wouldn't have been albanians in kosovo. But hey, lets not quarrel about what shouldn't have happened. In the end, you're about as independent as iraq and afghanistan are to blame for the wars.

Pejoni:
A quote from Benjamin Franklin:
“Anyone who trades liberty for security deserves neither liberty nor security”

For you see, it's not "U.S." occupation that gives you a sense of security, but the fact that Serbia is becoming a true democracy in every sense of the word..Slowly, but surely.

This my friend, and this alone is the only thing that can provide true long term security and freedom for Albanians in Kosovo.

Everything else is a mirage...

It's the State Department policy that's driven a wedge between the two peoples, and until you understand the concept of "Divide and Conquer", you will be viewed as no different than any other third world colony.

The words occupy and freedom can't belong in the same sentence.

"This unit, as the rest of KFOR, will be in charge of maintaining a safe and secure environment and freedom of movement, acting as a support to the Kosovo police, KPS, and EULEX, the statement said. "

So the north will be secured against criminal actions that effect Kosovo. Great :)
As i said before bondsteel should have been build there

if they behave like the turks, they won´t have anything to worry about ...

and they will behave ...

I would live in an American-managed protectorate ANYDAY before going back to Serbia. Are you kidding me? Native Americans here get to run casinos when no one else can...they have all American rights and THEN SOME! Serbia has absolutely ZERO chance of ever setting foot in Kosova. I hope this new US Army Unit trains their heavy guns on Serbia and obliterates anyone who violates Kosova's border.
(Tony, 5 January 2010 05:46)

Ahh TOni the US isn't what it once was. Its busy in Ag-Pak, Iraq and now maybe Yemen or even Iran. You should show some gratitude for this "independence" and help them over there.

This might be the best news ever.

Now there is talks that NATO will be reduced from 15,000 to 5,500. YES!!

God bless American-Albanian alliance.

“As soon as Kosovo is safely ensconced in the EU, we're outta there. Maybe before, if they can protect themselves sooner.
(Amer, 5 January 2010 01:00)”

Might want to ask the Germans about that!

Only reason the US left Saudi Arabia is because Osama asked so nicely on 9/11. The US tends to stay a long, long and very long time.

“and from 99% of the ethnic albanians, one chorus: thank god we are liberated from the 100 year reign of belgrade's terror. (roberto, 5 January 2010 05:02)”

Roberto, they were just talking about how good they had it under Tito, surely far better than their relatives in Albanian at the time.

I suggest you compare the regimes of Tito or Tadic to King Zog or Enver Hoxha.

I don’t think the Kosovar Albanians were missing much. They likely experience far more freedom and a higher standard of living under the 100 year reign of Belgrade’s terror.

(tom, 4 January 2010 19:25)

Don't sleep with your eyes closed, Kosovo will never been under Serb control.

"You should show some gratitude for this "independence" and help them over there.
(Don Draper, 5 January 2010 12:23) "

You gotta be kiddin' me! By the time the Kosovo Protection Force was 6 months into Basic Training, Sejdiu was already asking Nato when Kosovo could start sending troops to Iraq or Afghanistan. Lack of enthusiasm is not a problem here.

What alliance? You are not equal. It's a master/slave arrangement.
(Peggy, 5 January 2010 11:08)
Similar to the Russia/Serbian alliance????

Remember that Washington is controlling Albanians not Serbs.

It is true but this is due to the Serb politics. we have no choice but to align with the US.

You have choice but still, for the same reason Russia is becoming more influential in Serbia because of Kosova.

The difference is that our presence in Kosovo is temporary (except for maybe Bondsteel, but we have bases everywhere, so that doesn't count). As soon as Kosovo is safely ensconced in the EU, we're outta there. Maybe before, if they can protect themselves sooner.

The funniest running theme here is about how the people of kosovo/a are "controlled" by their american masters, how it is just another protectorate, dependent on outside help, bla bla bla. this is always coming, inevitably, from the other side.

and from 99% of the ethnic albanians, one chorus: thank god we are liberated from the 100 year reign of belgrade's terror.

so all of these well-meaning (not) warnings just do not resonate, but then of course they are utterly disingenuous to begin with.

the point is yr former colony has been liberated at last, and the former YU is dead and gone, for better and for worse. belgrade no longer controls it all, thank god. learn to get along with your neighbors and all relevant ethnic groups, or deal with the unpleasant consequences.

So the US is setting up in northern Kosovo. I bet they also allow their troops to fraternize with the locals simply because the commanders do not have any fears of their forces being attacked. Unlike for the rest of Kosovo. The US is in the process of selling the Albanians out; I put a hold on those celebrations and see what they have in store for you guys..

It is common knowledge that the USA and NATO are very prejudice against the Serbs and other non Albanians regarding Kosovo. Look at all the destroyed Serbian churches. Why cannot the USA provide at least a big loan for Serbs to repay, with low interest rates,over reasonable time, to rebuild their churches? And areas where mosques were built over church ruins, on church property, new churches can be built right on top of those mosques. The first floor would be a mosque. The above floor would be a church. Such an action would prove to the world that Kosovo is really a multi ethnic society.

You gotta be kiddin' me! By the time the Kosovo Protection Force was 6 months into Basic Training, Sejdiu was already asking Nato when Kosovo could start sending troops to Iraq or Afghanistan. Lack of enthusiasm is not a problem here.

Albanians are in NATO.
31 Albanians with highest offices at NYSE on Wall St and then George Tennet(Gjergj Koka) director of CIA from 1997-2004!. When will you achieve this?

This is great news for the people of Leposavić. They will be the first town outside of Bondsteel and KFOR Hill to have a McDonalds, Burger King, Puke in a Box and Pizza Hut. If they don't appear the Yanks won't stay long. So some opportunity for some enterprising young Serb businessmen or women.
