Serbian outrage over Bush remarks
Serbian outrage over Bush remarks

Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica said Monday that his country was "rightfully embittered" by Bush's remarks in support of Kosovan independence made during a brief stopover Sunday in Albania, adding that the United States "has no right to give away Serbia's territory to Albanians," according to a government news release.

"America must find another way to show its affection and love for the Albanians, without offering them Serb territories," Kostunica told Serbian national television.

"Serbia is rightfully outraged at the American policies on the issue of Kosovo."

I guess I don't know enough about the Serbian/Kosovo relationship to comment on this, except that maybe Bush could have been more diplomatic.

1. I wish he'd give Washington State to Canada while he's feeling generous.
I could get over the language difficulty and learn to say "eh" and even pretend to like ice hockey.

2. Bush should keep his nose out of other countries and their business.
Who does he think he is anyway?

3. He just farts out little rays of sunshine wherever he goes doesn't he?
I'm sorry, world.

4. I guess he was so happy to finally be cheered someplace that he got excited.
Of course he can thank BC for the US's popularity in Albania.

5. Why be diplomatic? Bush wants to hand Kosovo to the Albanians. He does.
What possible sugar coating is going to work? The Serbs think it's theirs and think it's the birthplace of their nation. One of the two ain't so bad, right? It'd be a .500 batting average in baseball.
