This seems to be a very popular little quote making it's rounds in the left side of cyber-space. Unfortunately (or fortunately) my google-fu has not produced any verifiable sources to back up this story. I am only a yellow belt, so maybe if one of the resident google-fu grand masters can point me to a site (other than the Drudge Retort or Rachel Madow) that tells more of this horror, I would be grateful for the learning experience.

Here is a little story… just days before deployment to Kosovo in 1999, an old German guy said to me, “Sarge, you know what them Serbs are doing to the Albanians? I saw on the news how they took a pregnant Albanian girl and cut the baby out of her womb and replaced it with a dead cat and sewed her back up.”

Disgusting, right? Cut to three weeks later, in Gjnilane Kosovo, an Albanian kid was nabbed for beating a Serb guy down in public with a metal pipe. When asked why the hell he did that he said, “That guy killed my pregnant sister and cut the baby out of her stomach and sewed in a dead cat.” No Shit. I am not telling a second hand story.

A rumor repeated twice is a fact in some parts of the world, and really bad ones are sometimes exploited to make a target look really bad. Since Christianity has been made a target of the left, and almost all of the sites I saw were left leaning, I am gonna need a little Missouri "Show-Me" on this.

BTW…the Albanian kids sister was discovered alive and well at home.
Excellent point Don,I totally agree..............
