Bush hopes Serbia will help Kosovo secede
28 March 2008


George Bush (Tanjug)


U.S. President George Bush says that supervised independence was the best solution for Kosovo.

It has the best prospects of leading to peace in the region, said Bush, and expressed hope that the Serbian government "will realize this".

In a brief interview with Croatian national television in Washington, ahead of his visit to Zagreb, Bush said Kosovo "represented the last chapter in the break-up of the former Yugoslavia and an end to a very difficult period".

"Kosovo has a chance with supervised independence. I support this decision because I believe this is best for the region and there are greater prospects of peace," the U.S. president said.

"I hope the Serbian government will realize that the Serbs in Kosovo are treated with respect as a minority, and that it will in time help Kosovo separate, instead of trying to prevent its secession," Bush was quoted.

^ Bush is an idiot.

I suggest that in 30 years he tell the United States to help Texas and California secede.

What I find really stupid about this concept is if the U.S. government uses the logic that Kosovo has already seceded then why does he want Serbia to help them secede? Hasn't the U.S. been claiming that it's a done deal? Why is he now saying that Serbia should help it secede as if it hasn't already?

Could it be that he knows that independence is illegal, that their aren't as many recognitions as he wanted, that the EU mission meant to replace the UN has no legal grounds.

Of course Bush is an idiot. This is just another example of his lack of knowledge when comes to international issues. Of course Serbia isn't going to help Kosovo when they wanted to keep it Serbian to begin with. But of course Bush being Bush expects the entire world to conform with his ideas.

Blessed innocence.....
The big multinational corporations' puppy George Bush understands the situation on the Balkans as much as I understand the problems in Zimbabwe...

Bush must be seriously back on booze to express such a monument of non-sense.

A true novelty in inernational relations. Who ever heard about that? Reminds of Brezhnyev's doctrine of limited sovereignity all too much. I think that the "independence" of East Timor is of somewhat similar sort.

Given that Brzezinsky support Kosovo independence I wouldn't doubt him having a role in independence.
