Just a small correction. Only about 20 states have declared they don't recognize Kosovo. About 70+ have declared they do recognize Kosovo. The rest has not declared anything, unless, of course, you have proof to the contrary.

Typical pacifying of Albanians. They haven't said anything. So then let's see what happens when you want to travel to or trade with those countries. You will definitely get a no.
You need their YES so until you get that it's a NO. Do you understand that now?
The geopolitical situation has moved quickly away from the Balkans and this US facility is obsolete, but it’s the US pride of being right that is keeping it there.
(sj, 1 April 2011 13:50)
Woow… We heard people for years in this forum stating how important that base was for US and it was their only reason to support Kosovo’s UDI and bla, bla, bla… Now it is obsolete :) !!!
Just like the US refuses to say that Afghanistan and Iraq were mistakes.
(sj, 1 April 2011 13:50)
Well, you first have to show that it was a mistake… I certainly wouldn’t consider a mistake (for US) moving the fighting theatre away from US to Afghanistan.
Bankruptcy is around the corner:
(sj, 1 April 2011 13:50)
Yeah, according to this forum has been so for years… This must be a very very long road as they still can’t get to that corner :)
Every time a missile is fired means the US has had to go to the bank to borrow more – so far its 7 billion and counting.
(sj, 1 April 2011 13:50)
Don’t forget also that every time a missile is fired, millions of dollars (and hundreds if not thousands of American soldiers’ lives) are saved from a future war if Ghadaffi remains in power. Fortunately for the US, they are not as short sighted as you and see a little bit more long term.
They are still not recognised by majority of the world.

(KOSO, 1 April 2011 23:41)
Funny remark. Doesn't Kosovo exists only for 3 years now? ;-) But yes, I think you are right about borrowed money! but I was talking about the billions of US/EU DONOR (= gift) money for Kosovo. And keep in mind that Serbia has an about four time bigger number of inhabitants.
(Top, 2 April 2011 19:26)
=========================
I am now convinced that we are talking to a child when we talk to KOSO.
You borrowed more than we have in a thousand years!!!!!! What is this?
My daddy is a thousand times stronger than your daddy!!! You are a thousand times more stupid!!! etc. etc.
Only kids talk like this.
Like you said Top, gross exaggeration here. Kosovo HAS been around for thousands of years, but KosovA has not. Not even three. They are still not recognised by majority of the world.

True,but there is no gold teeth like in the Serbian cemeteries or gold watches like on George Ws wrist. I always go for the gold myself,but C'MON MAN,not from dead people's mouths like many Kosova "liberators" did! Yuck!!! That's more gross and gruesome than the KLA harvesting organs from mental patients and from the so called war prisoners.

you´ll rub your coke-can desperately, once your "protectors" let you down...
given that many others have experienced us-american "friendship", like Mr.Mossadegh, Mr.Pahlevi, the Kurds in Iraq ( to name just a few ) the K-albanians will be quite frustrated some day in the future.
Serbia does not need coke-cans, my dear, Serbia has got international law, justice, moral and history.
that´s what will make you fail. just a question of time. and that is no threat, just before you start whining, it´s just a simple certainty.
Anyway, if you travel around Kosovo, you will find roads in very bad condition even if they were fixed one year ago. Its always the same and only reason: The spaghetti comming from the ground...

As a member of Pristina University's Department of Albanological Archaeology, I can confirm this spaghetti was planted by Milosevic and bad Serb MUPs as a way of insulting Kosova's independence. We are coming up with strategies of suing the spaghetti.
It is not realistic to think "Bondsteel" does not have significant
intelligence capability.Be assured, where ever is a American
military presence in the World, there a significant intelligence
gathering component attached to it.My guess is, at some point, if
"Kosovo" does not became legal state with full UN recognition
USA will close the base .
I'm disjointed in your post. Empirical evidence suggests that Serbia has borrowed more money in the last 5 - 7 years than Kosovo has borrowed in the last thousand years. You can't make such insulting remarks when you have EBRD, IMF, USAID, and other "partners" that dump money in Serbia monthly to cover budget holes.
"In an interview for Balkan Insight, Dell said it was a “myth” that Bondsteel was developed to project American power in the region."
A myth usually spread by Serbs. Compared to real NATO bases in the region, camp Bondsteel is simply a toy.
".. and who said the base - located near the town of Uroševac and set up after the war in the province in 1999 - was "a financial millstone"
Then it fits perfectly to Kosovo, which is a financial millstone for international donors, too ;-)
They build a base that size and just walk away-because they lost KiM. A victorious army never withdraws, just look at NATO/US presence in Korea, Taiwan, Cuba etc. The US lost.
Didn't the US and Kostunica's government sign a 99 year lease (2002??)? So what are the conditions if the US unilaterally withdraw from the lease before the due date? Does it return to the Serbs or can it be used to fly in in more drugs to Europe? Or maybe the Kuwaitis will develop it as an airport (one they've just paid for in Albania) one to bring in their fundamentalists in to the region? Or, and much more boring, will Ryanair and Easyjet fight it out to have it?
You don't build a base of that size just walk away. That is no provisional installation, as well, Camp Bondsteel has been built with the intention for a longer stay. Whoever was there can just confirm it. The rest is only talk.
Suiss geologists and US Scientist have already published an article in Science magazine about the ground aorund camp bontsteel. They've found out Kosovo has a SGD of 14,5, which is extreme high and unexplainable. SGD is the international measurement unit for spaghetti cultivation (SGD-Spaghetti Growing Degree) with this degree you can harwest spaghetti, that grow up to 30 inch (76,2cm) twice a year. This is causing many problems in the camp: again and again military vehicles were pricked the wheels by sphagetti sprouts. There were also reports of broken tank-chains, but I think this is not possible. Anyway, if you travel around Kosovo, you will find roads in very bad condition even if they were fixed one year ago. Its always the same and only reason: The spaghetti comming from the ground...
They can keep Camp Krusty for as long as they like simply because NATO is a spent force that does better holding long lunches and politicians slapping each other on the back. You see the magnificent wins in Afghanistan and Iraq and now we have a new front called Libya.
The geopolitical situation has moved quickly away from the Balkans and this US facility is obsolete, but it’s the US pride of being right that is keeping it there. Just like the US refuses to say that Afghanistan and Iraq were mistakes. Bankruptcy is around the corner and that is why you see very worried faces during congressional hearings, especially now that Libya has gone pear shape on them. Every time a missile is fired means the US has had to go to the bank to borrow more – so far its 7 billion and counting.
