#1 Regardless of which direction the Balkans should go, what needs to happen is for all U.S. forces to be pulled out and the whole enchilada left to Europe to decide what is to be done. This is their backyard, and they need to take care of it.

#2 I'm sure the Dutch are eager to jump in.

#3 Isn't the direction determined by the corialis effect? I think the Balkans should go clockwise on it way down after you flush. Maybe that's the Southern Hemisphere though.

#4 I just went to the bathroom (in the southern hemisphere) and the water went down anticlockwise.

#8 Which direction? Straight downhill, I should think.

Into a hell of Europe's own making.

And our people should be OUT OF THERE before it goes any further.

#9 The former Yugoslavia & other Balkan states are on the jihadees list of 'lands to be retaken' or 'forced to submit'.

As in the historical Muslim drives to push northward, by and large they failed, and shall continue to FAIL. (Except in France which surrendered already, keeping with another historic track record.)

#10 I'm sure the Dutch are eager to jump in.

No, they're still trying to extricate themselves from the war crimes charges brought against them in the ICJ.

Oops! I keep forgetting, that only applies to Israelis on whose watch tribal slaughter occurs.

#11 The Balkans are not worth the bones of a Pomeranian Grenadier.
