Disturbing words from Tom Lantos. Read carefully. Stella
------------------------------------ 17 APRIL 2007, TUESDAY SECTION: PRESS CONFERENCE OR SPEECH; HEADLINE: HEARING OF THE HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE; SUBJECT: OUTLOOK FOR THE INDEPENDENCE OF KOSOVO; CHAIRED BY: REPRESENTATIVE TOM LANTOS (D-CA) WITNESS: NICHOLAS BURNS, UNDERSECRETARY OF STATE FOR POLITICAL AFFAIRS; LOCATION: 2172 RAYBURN HOUSE OFFICE BUILDING, WASHINGTON, D.C. Rep. Lantos: Thank you very much. Let me just raise a few items, Mr. Secretary. The first one: Just a reminder to the predominately Muslim-led governments in this world that here is yet another example that the United States leads the way for the creation of a predominately Muslim country in the very heart of Europe. This should be noted by both responsible leaders of Islamic governments, such as Indonesia, and also for jihadists of all color and hue. The United States' principles are universal, and in this instance, the United stands foursquare for the creation of an overwhelmingly Muslim country in the heart of Europe." (Is this why we are fighting terrorism all over the world so that the United States can create an overwhelmingly Muslim country in the heart of Europe?
