With allies like these....

No comment is really necessary, I would think. From the BBC for April 30:

Macedonian officials have admitted that seven alleged Pakistani militants killed in March 2002 were in fact illegal immigrants shot in cold blood to "impress" the international community. ...

At the time, the interior ministry said they had been killed after trying to ambush police in the capital, Skopje.

But a police spokeswoman said they had in fact been shot in a "staged murder".

The Macedonians were apparently trying to show the outside world that they were serious about participating in the US-led war on terror, officials say.

Maybe we've misunderstood all along and what Shrub actually has been saying is "coalition of the killing."
