I guess this is one of the best kept secrets.
I don't like this...why visit now?
His visit is a very welcome one. By visiting Albania he is showing the US support that Albania enjoys due to their joint hard work in the fight against terrorism (be it Serbian or whatever).
you don't think it has anything to do with the election on sunday? the fact that he visited nanos and that most albanians look at the US (and certainly the CIA) as a credible big brother would certainly help nanos in his campaign. the US and i would assume most of europe would much rather see nanos than berisha win on sunday.
if they wanted goss's visit to remain secret it would not have been difficult to do.
i say it's a political endorsement.
* (and most likely with some sort of favor expected in return).
He went to tell Albania that they need to stop funding the KLA and endorsing Osama Bin Laden.
Where is the proof? Slobo and Sadam had a contract to build a bunker, along with the Germans, French and Russians. IS that Buddy - Buddy?
Again, where is your proof?
That is certainly not al_quida type connection.
