Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Zivkovic pledges 1,000 troops to Iraq and Afghanistan US Military chiefs quickly accecpted the offer when it was made "out of the blue", according to the New York Times. Serbian and Montenegrin officials visited Washington and Central Command headquarters in Florida last week to discuss the deployment of troops and paramilitary police on the proposed oil and gas pipelines near Kandahar. "We don't need peacekeepers," says a U.S. official involved in the deal. "It's going to be a combat mission to hunt down al-Qaeda terrorists and Taliban guerrillas." |

As a reciepent of the hospitality (!) and observor of the methods of the JNA (Yugoslav national army)now called the S+CGA, you have to laugh at Lone Gunmans comments. This army is a rag tag bunch of under trained, unmotivated, ill-disciplined boys, supervised by a small number of full-time fascists. The Serb army are not fierce fighters, they never proved themselves to be during either the war in Bosnia or Kosova. They are very good and experinced at shelling civilian areas and killing peasants. When the battle was taken to them - they flee, see for example; Doboj in 95, Hrasno in 96, Travnik and Maglaj in 95 (all in Bosnia) and Djakovica and Prokleti in 99 (in Kosova).
I think that this deployment is an bad joke, the americans could note have gone to a more inapropaite or unsuitable army anywhere to "police" Afghanistan.
This will end in tears for all.
Ever had any dealings with them on a "professional " basis? Or are you commenting from a smug,safe position from some cossetted area of a university? I am talking about such pleasent chacters as Arkans tigers[Who still exist BTW].True they were mercenaries and criminals,but anyone who could weld them into a fighting force had to be respected.But of course you know all that,having no doubt been involved in Yougoslavia sometime.you could just as easily send in the Croats as well.just as good as fighters.
Da, radim u Crna Gora, Srbija, Kosovo, Bosnia I Albania za pet godina. Vidim sve problem sa Armija Jugoslviaja i mislim veliki problem u balkan bog mentalit Srbijan. Luidi Srbijan imat li "bog i dobro, i Bog mi prijeltia" complex - ali ne instina!
No you clown I speak from experince having lived there for five years. Arkan was a nut whose job is was to act as a sweeper AFTER the regular troops had taken an area and to go in with the "weekend warriors" from Nis, Belgrade and Kraljevo to rape and murder so as to 'encourage' the residents muslims/croats to flee. Hardly the actions of brave men.
Again, the Serbs are not fierce fighters or warriors which they proved in their decade of vandalism in the Balkans.
Bet you hate when you get something so completely you waste of space:)

This is an old plan to get at the oil and gas of the Caspian. They even set the Taliban up in power back in the 90's so as to create a "secure environment" for the construction and protection of oil and gas pipelines. There are billions and billion to be made if these lines can be set up to steal Caspian oil.
Imagine fools actually believed the media that it was about Burkas and womens rights! Where are womens rights now that pre-pubescent girls are bing kidnapped and raped on a wide scale by Americas friends, the Northern Alliance?
Nice friends you got there Gunman, I wonder how you will all sound screaming in unison while roasting in hell?
From the story...
UK firm Premier Oil is weighing up oil and gas exploration opportunities in Afghanistan
"We hope to play an active and important role in exploiting oil and gas reserves and in the revival of relevant projects,"
Interest in oil and gas projects in Afghanistan has usually focused on the country's potential as a transit route, as part of a larger project to take gas from energy-rich Turkmenistan to Pakistan and India. But there are also unsubstantiated reports that the country has significant gas reserves.
Soviet Union authorities in the 1970s estimated Afghanistan's proven and probable gas reserves at up to five trillion cubic feet (141.5bn cubic metres).
Since then, however, the country has been torn apart by civil war and experts say there has been little or no further work undertaken to estimate the country's potential as an oil and gas producer.
I can assure you that there has been no relaxation of the Burkhas and purdah outside Kabul - it's a cultural thing, not a Taliban thing. (I'm an aid worker in Afghanistan)
