Kosovo honors Bill Clinton with statue

PRISTINA, Kosovo - Thousands of ethnic Albanians braved low temperatures and a cold wind in Kosovo's capital Pristina to welcome former President Bill Clinton on Sunday as he attended the unveiling of an 11-foot (3.5-meter) statue of himself on a key boulevard that also bears his name.

Many waved American, Albanian and Kosovo flags and chanted "USA!" as the former president climbed on top of a podium with his poster in the background reading "Kosovo honors a hero."

Some peeked out of balconies and leaned on window sills to get a better view of Clinton from their apartment blocks.

To thunderous applause Clinton waved to the crowd as the red cover was pulled off from the statue.

So nice to see him honored. I always thought he deserved a Nobel for his work in N Ireland too. But nothing can compare with having people show their love and appreciation for what you did for them, in person. Must have been an extraordinary experience. Nice to see something in the media, that isn't constantly criticizing a Democrat, too.

1. Good news....and does anyone know of the "countless" statues there are for reagan in europe?

After all, he did end the cold war, didn't he? Or is that just a myth that has been fed to us gullible Americans?

The above questions should be easily answered.

Congrats to Bill Clinton.
