It was not the US that ordered the assault on Pristina airport. It was

But, it is worth pointing out that we all owe General Jackson a big

A Vain, Pompous, Brown-noser
Meet the Real Gen. Clark
Anyone seeking to understand the bloody fiasco of the Serbian war need
hardly look further than the person of the beribboned Supreme Allied
Commander, General Wesley K. Clark. Politicians and journalists are
generally according him a respectful hearing as he discourses on the
"schedule" for the destruction of Serbia, tellingly embracing phrases
favored by military bureaucrats such as "systematic" and "methodical".
The reaction from former army subordinates is very different.
"The poster child for everything that is wrong with the GO (general officer)
corps," exclaims one colonel, who has had occasion to observe Clark in
action, citing, among other examples, his command of the 1st Cavalry
Division at Fort Hood from 1992 to 1994.
While Clark's official Pentagon biography proclaims his triumph in
"transitioning the Division into a rapidly deployable force" this officer
describes the "1st Horse Division" as "easily the worst division I have ever
seen in 25 years of doing this stuff."
Such strong reactions are common. A major in the 3rd Brigade of the 4th
Infantry Division at Fort Carson, Colorado when Clark was in command there
in the early 1980s described him as a man who "regards each and every one of
his subordinates as a potential threat to his career".
While he regards his junior officers with watchful suspicion, he customarily
accords the lower ranks little more than arrogant contempt. A veteran of
Clark's tenure at Fort Hood recalls the general's "massive tantrum because
the privates and sergeants and wives in the crowded (canteen) checkout lines
didn't jump out of the way fast enough to let him through".
Clark's demeanor to those above is, of course, very different, a mode of
behavior that has earned him rich dividends over the years. Thus, early in
1994, he was a candidate for promotion from two to three star general. Only
one hurdle remained - a war game exercise known as the Battle Command
Training Program in which Clark would have to maneuver his division against
an opposing force. The commander of the opposing force, or "OPFOR" was known
for the military skill with which he routinely demolished opponents.
But Clark's patrons on high were determined that no such humiliation should
be visited on their favorite. Prior to the exercise therefore, strict orders
came down that the battle should go Clark's way. Accordingly, the OPFOR was
reduced in strength by half, thus enabling Clark, despite deploying tactics
of signal ineptitude, to triumph. His third star came down a few weeks
later.
Battle exercises and war games are of course meant to test the fighting
skills of commanders and troops. The army's most important venue for such
training is the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, California, where
Clark commanded from October 1989 to October 1991 and where his men
derisively nicknamed him "Section Leader Six" for his obsessive
micro-management.
At the NTC, army units face a resident OPFOR that has, through constant
battle practice coupled with innovative tactics and close knowledge of the
terrain, become adept at routing the visiting "Blue Force" opponents. For
Clark, this naturally posed a problem. Not only were his men using
unconventional tactics, they were also humiliating Blue Force generals who
might nurture resentment against the NTC commander and thus discommode his
career at some future date. To the disgust of the junior OPFOR officers
Clark therefore frequently fought to lose, sending his men on suicidal
attacks in order that the Blue Forces should go home happy and owing debts
of gratitude to their obliging foe.
All observers agree that Clark has always displayed an obsessive concern
with the perquisites and appurtenances of rank. Ever since he acceded to the
Nato command post, the entourage with which he travels has accordingly grown
to gargantuan proportions to the point where even civilians are beginning to
comment. A Senate aide recalls his appearances to testify, prior to which
aides scurry about the room adjusting lights, polishing his chair, testing
the microphone etc prior to the precisely timed and choreographed moment
when the Supreme Allied Commander Europe makes his entrance.
"We are state of the art pomposity and arrogance up here," remarks the aide.
"So when a witness displays those traits so egregiously that even the
senators notice, you know we're in trouble." His NATO subordinates call him,
not with affection, "the Supreme Being".
"Clark is smart," concludes one who has monitored his career. "But his whole
life has been spent manipulating appearances (e.g. the doctored OPFOR
exercise) in the interests of his career. Now he is faced with a reality he
can't control." This observer concludes that, confronted with the wily
Slobodan and other unavoidable variables of war, Clark will soon come
unglued. "Watch the carpets at NATO HQ for teeth marks."CP

BELGRADE STUDENT PROTESTS
Dedicated to non-violence, the students have had to think
creatively to counter the brutal savagery of Slobodan Milosovic's state
police. Many students as well as others including the elderly have been
attacked, beaten and hospitalized as a result of police brutality.
Following the election, there was severe tampering with
the election results by the government on Milosovic's orders A revised count
once again gave back control to the ruling socialists. Henchmen of Milosovic
surrounded all of the polling locations with their own paramilitary goon
squads, officially referred to as the kickbox club. Opposition candidates
and members of the election commission were manhandled, ballots and voting
lists were stolen and many never found. In Belgrade and all of the other
cities, supporters of Milosovic declare the elections invalid.
This is especially prudent considering the military
might at Milosovic's disposal. In March, 1991 and in July 1992, students
took to the streets to oust Milosovic over his war policies and the
international sanctions they invokes. Both times Milosovic sent in tanks and
riot police to ruthlessly crush opposition.
At first Milosovic tried to ignore the demonstrations, hoping they would
eventually tire out and go away. When they didn't he tried counter
demonstrations and other methods to harass the marchers. He tried to
suppress opposition media coverage by shutting down the free Radio B-92 for
not having proper broadcasting license.
Isolated incidents of police brutality against the protesters continued, but
on February 3, strong
police forces resorted to violence on a massive scale to disperse peaceful
demonstrations in Belgrade. Using batons and water cannon on -3 degrees C,
the police brutally injured a number of people, many of whom are still in
the hospital. Individuals were targeted by the police and singled out for
brutality. One art student who made a large satirical puppet of Milosovic in
prison garb which had been carried through the streets by the marchers, was
arrested by the police and badly beaten. While still alive he remains under
medical care. Other police forces burst into the building of the School of
Philosophy at the University of Belgrade and severely injured several
members of the students security staff. The next day 20,000 Belgrade
University students protested in front of the city police headquarters,
demanding the release of six students arrested the night before. They were
joined by 1500 Belgrade lawyers who were also on strike.
Early on, Belgrade University students began their own protest efforts. All
the faculties are on strike, there are daily student protest marches, and
students have setup email communications with students around the world. The
students are well organized and have prepared themselves for more possible
violence from the police.
There is no place in today's world for autocratic dictatorships
or for those who violate human rights and individual freedom. Certainly, we
believe those people responsible for the war crimes in Bosnia, including
Slobodan Milosovic, should be brought to justice and tried before the U.N.
War Crimes Tribunal where the extent of their guilt can be determined
impartially. While this is not an issue at the forefront of the protests, it
is one more reason why we wish them success. We enthusiastically lend our
support to the student protesters. Through their efforts and the efforts of
those who support them, a democratic and free Serbia will eventually emerge.
Of course, Bill Clinton would never use his position as
commander of US armed forces to get the media off of an
uncomfortable subject (Monica, Juanita Broderick) because he
has principals.....well,ah...because he values human life
too much to pointlessly risk it.......well, ah.....because

Where have you been ? Living under a rock? The fact that the media was wrapped
up in Zippergate as well as Congress had whipped itself into a frenzy is the
reason the US was caught flat footed in Kosovo.
They should all be ashamed for letting such an international tragedy fester
while they discussed dicks and cigars.
>well,ah...because he values human life
>too much to pointlessly risk it......
I have no problem with this. No good leader, military or civilian wants to
risk lives needlessly.

Can you cite a specific instance?

B. The Charges
1. Planning And Executing the Dismemberment, Segregation and
Impoverishment of Yugoslavia.
The United States, Germany, NATO and other defendants engaged in a
course of conduct beginning in, or before 1981 intended to break the
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia into many parts, segregate different
ethnic, religious and other groups among and within newly balkanized
borders, weaken the Slav, Serb, Muslim and other populations by
causing and prolonging internal violence and by direct assaults by
the United States and certain NATO members. As a consequence
Yugoslavia which had 25 million people in an integrated society and
economy is now comprised of many small nations, the largest of which
is Serbia. Defendants intend to divide Yugoslavia until all parts of
Yugoslavia have fewer than 5 million people, each to be
overwhelmingly of a single ethnic origin and religion, to have
severely impaired economies largely dominated by foreign interests,
in which two groups, Orthodox Christian Serbs and Muslims suffer
severest casualties, most extensive property damage, a vast
reduction of productivity now down by 3/4s, or more, and a
generation of impoverishment. U.N. Charter; Declaration on the
Inadmissibility of Intervention In The Domestic Affairs Of States
And The Protection Of Their Independence and Sovereignty (Non
Intervention Decl.), 1965 USGA Res. 2131.
2. Inflicting, Inciting and Enhancing Violence Between Muslims and
Slavs.
The United States and other defendants engaged in a course of
conduct beginning in or before 1981, to cause Muslims and Orthodox
Christian Slavs to engage in protracted fratricidal violence, in
wars of attrition, similar to conflicts in Afghanistan and Chechnya
between Muslims and Russian Slavs, which caused death, destruction
and division in Bosnia, Kosovo and elsewhere between the groups and
dangerous frictions and enmity between two major enemies of the
U.S., Slavic peoples and Muslims, in other regions, weakening both.
Tactics included both providing and depriving select Muslim groups
of arms to attack others, or adequately defend themselves in Bosnia;
motivating, training and supplying KLA with arms to attack
Yugoslavia police and military to seize control of Kosovo during
NATO occupation and attack Serbs and others; preventing outside
efforts to prevent and control the violence; committing, causing and
condoning violence against persons displaced by U.S. and NATO
bombing campaigns, and by KLA and Yugoslav police and military
ground actions; causing and supporting clashes between Yugoslavia
military/police/civilian groups and KLA/Kosovar
paramilitary/civilian groups; condoning and failing to prevent
assaults on displaced persons returning to and persons who remained
in Kosovo, both before and after the NATO/U.S. occupation of Kosovo.
In 1999, the U.S. caused the largest numbers of deaths, injuries and
destruction by aerial and missile assaults against all elements in
the population and its life support systems. U.N. Charter, Art. 2;
Non Intervention Decl.; Resolution on the Definition of Aggression
(Res. on Aggression), 1997 UNGA Res. 3314.
3. Preventing and Disrupting Efforts to Maintain Unity, Peace and
Stability in Yugoslavia.
From the beginning of its efforts to implement its plans for
dismemberment and destruction of Yugoslavia, the U.S. acted to
prevent any interference, negotiation, or other efforts within
Yugoslavia, or by other nations, leaders, or individuals to prevent
the accomplishment of its intended purposes. Its techniques included
political, military and economic threats and control of highly
publicized peace negotiations much like those at Dayton, Ohio,
during the Bosnia struggle, at Rambouillet, France, in 1988 which
created an appearance of earnest peace negotiations, but offered
Yugoslavia only two choices, agree to foreign military occupation,
or expect a devastating military assault. U.N. Charter; Non
Intervention Declaration; Resolution on Aggression; Pact of Paris
1928, Art I and II .
4. Destroying the Peace Making Role of the United Nations.
The United States acted and coerced other nations to act to block
the United Nations from performing its duties under the U.N. Charter
to prevent conflict, control violence and maintain peace in
Yugoslavia in violation of the Charter of the U.N. and threatening
its viability as a international institution capable of maintaining
peace and ending the scourge of war. U.N. Charter; Non Intervention
Decl.; Resolution on Aggression, Pact of Paris 1928, Art I and II.
5. Using NATO for Military Aggression Against and Occupation of
Non-Compliant Poor Countries.
The United States acted and coerced other nations to act to cause
NATO to authorize direct military assaults on Yugoslavia in
violation of the U.N. Charter and the North Atlantic Treaty relying
overwhelmingly on U.S. weaponry and military technology and to cause
NATO members to provide and finance the majority of the military
forces to occupy Kosovo for the foreseeable future thereby employing
the wealth and power of the rich former colonial powers of Europe
against the poor and defenseless people of Yugoslavia. United
Nations Charter; North Atlantic Treaty 1949, Art.I.
6. Killing and Injuring a Defenseless Population Throughout
Yugoslavia.
Beginning on, or before March 24, 1999, the United States, without a
declaration of war by the Congress, aided and abetted by certain
NATO members, including the United Kingdom, Germany, Turkey, Spain
and the Netherlands, as well as Hungary, Croatia, Italy and others,
commenced a war of missile and aerial bombing assaults, often
indiscriminate in its targeting, against the populations of
Yugoslavia intentionally killing and injuring many thousands of
Serbs, Kosovars, Romas, Muslims, Orthodox Christians, Roman
Catholics, foreign nationals throughout Yugoslavia with malice
aforethought. Hague, Art. 22 and 23; Geneva 1949, Art. 19;
Nuremberg, Principle VI a, b and c; U.S. Constitution, Art. I, Sec.
8, cl.II.
7. Planning, Announcing and Executing Attacks Intended to
Assassinate
The Head of Government, Other Government Leaders and Selected
Civilians.
The United States planned, announced and carried out missile and
aerial bombardment attacks intended to assassinate the Head of
Government of Yugoslavia, members of his family, other government
leaders and selected civilians to destroy existing government
leadership and terrorize it and its closest personal support into
submission. U.N. Charter, Art. 2, Convention on the Prevention and
Punishment of Crimes Against Internationally Protected Persons
(Protected Persons Convention); U.S. Army Field Manual 27-10; U.S.
Presidential Executive Order 12333 (Ex.Order 12333); Geneva
Conventions 1977, Protocol I Additional (Geneva 1977), Art. 48, 51.
8. Destroying and Damaging Economic, Social, Cultural, Medical,
Diplomatic and Religious Resources, Properties and Facilities
Throughout Yugoslavia.
Beginning on, or before March 24, 1999, the United States, aided and
abetted by certain NATO members, including United Kingdom, Germany,
Turkey, Spain and the Netherlands and others including Croatia,
Hungary and Italy, commenced a systematic missile and aerial bombing
assault on resources, properties and economic, social, cultural,
medical, diplomatic and religious facilities intentionally
destroying and damaging them throughout Yugoslavia to crush the
productive, economic, social, cultural, diplomatic and religious
viability of the whole society. Hague, Art. 22 and 23; Geneva 1949,
Art. 19; Geneva 1977, Protocol I, Additional, Art. 48, 52, 53; U.N.
Charter, Art. 2; Protected Persons Convention; U.S. Army Field
Manual 27-10; Exec. Order 12333; Geneva 1977, Art. 48, 51; ICESCR.
9. Attacking Objects Indispensable to the Survival of the Population
of Yugoslavia.
Beginning on or before March 24, 1999, the United States, aided and
abetted by others, for the specific purpose of depriving the
population of Yugoslavia of food, water, electric power, food
production, medicines, medical care and other essentials to their
survival, engaged in the systematic destruction and damage by
missiles and aerial bombardment of food production and storage
facilities, drinking water and irrigation works for agriculture,
fertilizer, insecticide, pharmaceutical, hospitals and health care
facilities, among other objects essential to human survival. Hague
1907, Art. 22 and 23; Geneva 1949, Art. 19; Nuremberg 1970,
Principles Via, b and c; Geneva 1977, Art. 48, 54.
10. AttackingFacilities Containing Dangerous Substances and Forces.
The United States attacked chemical plants and storage facilities,
petroleum and natural gas refining, processing and storage
facilities, fertilizer plants and other facilities and locations for
the specific purpose of releasing and scattering toxic, radioactive
and other dangerous substances and forces into the atmosphere, soil,
ground water and food chain to poison the environment and injure the
population. Nuremberg Principle VI, Hague, Art. 22 and 23, Protocol
for the Prohibition of the Use in War of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or
Other Gases, Geneva 1925 (Poisonous Substances Protocol); Geneva
1977, Protocol I Additional, Art. 48, 51, 56.
11. Using Depleted Uranium, Cluster Bombs and Other Prohibited
Weapons.
The United States used prohibited weapons capable of mass
destruction and inflicting indiscriminate death and suffering
against the population of all Yugoslavia. Despite knowledge of its
deadly long term effect on life and warnings of the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, the U.S. attacked Yugoslavia with depleted
uranium missiles, bombs and bullets spreading radioactive matter
into the atmosphere, soil, ground water, food chain and solid
objects hit by depleted uranium missiles, bombs and bullets placing
the Yugoslav population at risk of death, genetic damage, cancers,
tumors, leukemia and other injuries for generations. Cluster bombs
were used extensively spraying deadly razor sharp metal shards over
wide areas against hospitals, churches, mosques, schools, apartment
developments and other heavily populated places inflicting death,
injury and property damage. The use of other illegal weapons is
under continuing investigation. Hague, Art. 22 and 23, Geneva 1977,
Art. 48, 51, 54, 55, POONA Indictment for the Subversion of Science
and technology 1978 (POONA Indictment).
12. Waging War on the Environment.
The United States aerial and missile assault intentionally created a
widespread, long term and severe environmental disaster in
Yugoslavia. Air pollution from overflights alone multiplied normal
impurities in the atmosphere. Thousands of tons of explosives
unleashed enormous quantities of chemicals into the air, raised
clouds of dust and debris from places hit and started fires that
often raged for days. Chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas refinery,
storage and transmission facilities purposely targeted in the
vicinity of Belgrade, Novi Sad, Nis and other major cities exposed
huge populations to dangerous and noxious pollution. Depleted
uranium scattered across Kosovo and the remainder of Serbia will
threaten life for generations. Hague, Art. 22 and 23; Geneva 1977,
Art. 48, 51, 54, 55; Stockholm Declaration of the United Nations
Conference on the Human Environment 1972; Principles I, II, (U.N.
Conf. on Human Environment), et al.
13. Imposing Sanctions Through The UN That Are A Genocidal Crime
Against Humanity To Achieve Impoverishment And Debilitation Of The
People Of Yugoslavia.
The United States began an economic attack on Yugoslavia designed to
break it up politically and tear it down economically before 1989.
It caused the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to use its strongest
shock therapy to attack Yugoslav productivity, add to its foreign
debt burden and expose national wealth to foreign capital by forcing
removal of trade barriers and privatizing vital public industry,
commerce, utilities and facilities. In May 1991 U.S. Secretary of
State Baker stopped all U.S. aid programs to all six Yugoslav
Republics and vetoed future IMF credits, creating an enormous
economic incentive and powerful political argument for political
opposition to Belgrade to separate other Republics from Serbia. The
U.S. forced U.N. sanctions against Yugoslavia, but relieved
Republics which seceded from Yugoslavia of sanctions. Such sanctions
devastated the entire economy of Yugoslavia to the degree that a
normal growth rate free of U.S. coercion would require 30 years to
return Yugoslavia to its 1989 levels of productivity. Per capita
production value for all six Republics of Yugoslavia in 1989 was
$6220. Today for Serbia and Montenegro, the remaining Republics of
Yugoslavia, it is $1510. Ninety percent of all trade was among the
six republics before the break-up. All former republics have
suffered economically, but Yugoslavia now, with barely 40% of its
1990 population, including Kosovo, has had a far greater decline
economically than the favored northern Republics of Slovenia and
Croatia which are today more overwhelmingly Roman Catholic than
before their secession. The sanctions against Yugoslavia continue
and Serbia, excluding Kosovo, is barred from receiving any planned
reparations and aid to rebuild from bomb damage and economic
attrition. The sanctions have had a far more damaging effect on
life, health, the economy and the quality of life in Yugoslavia than
the military assault, increasing death rates, lowering life
expectation, reducing nutrition and health care and driving
production down. As in Iraq, and elsewhere, the sanctions are an
economic crime, a crime against humanity and genocide. Nuremberg,
Principle VI c, Crimes Against Humanity; Genocide Convention; Geneva
1977, Art. 48, 54, 55.
14. Creating An Illegal Ad-Hoc Criminal Tribunal To Destroy And
Demonize Serb Leadership.
The United States acting through defendant Madeleine Albright
coerced the U.N. Security Council to create ad hoc criminal
tribunals for Yugoslavia and Rwanda in violation of the U.N. Charter
to destroy and demonize enemy leaders in those two countries and
threaten leaders elsewhere. The U.N. Charter does not authorize
creation of criminal tribunals. The U.S. strongly opposes the
International Criminal Tribunal treaty approved by 120 nations at
Rome in July 1998 and in the process of ratification by nations now,
because it does not intend to subject its leaders, or military
forces to the jurisdiction of an independent international Court and
the rule of international law. By targeting individual enemies in ad
hoc courts and charging them with genocide, it achieves their
isolation internationally, pressures their own countries to remove
them from power, corrupts and politicizes justice and uses the
appearance of neutral international law to adjudicate and punish
enemies as war criminals and establish itself as an innocent
champion of justice. U.N. Charter, Statute of the International
Court of Justice (Statute ICJ); UDHR; ICCPR.
15. Using Controlled International Media To Create Support For U.S.
Assaults Anywhere And To Demonize Yugoslavia, Slavs, Serbs and
Muslims As Genocidal Murderers.
The United States defendants have systematically controlled,
directed, manipulated, misinformed and restricted press and media
coverage concerning Yugoslavia and the U.S. assaults on it to gain
public support for the massive bombardment of a defenseless
Yugoslavia, including Kosovo, as had been done in Libya, Iraq,
Afghanistan, the Sudan and elsewhere. The international media has
supported and celebrated U.S. political goals of further
fragmentation of Yugoslavia and other areas, segregating each
region; demonizing selected government officials, other leaders,
generals, military officers and soldiers as genocidal murderers;
controlling other nations by the threat of popularly supported
missile and air assaults and crippling economic sanctions and
stimulating acceptance and support from the U.S. public for future
operations against other nations and to increase military budgets to
support an expanding global role for U.S. military presence and
control.
16. Establishing The Long term Military Occupation Of Strategic
Parts of Yugoslavia By NATO Forces.
The United States has coerced defendant NATO members and others to
provide and support military occupation forces for the occupation of
Kosovo, as it did in Bosnia, in order to physically control key
parts of Yugoslavia to enforce permanent separation and segregation
of States and peoples, to further injure the populations, to create
barriers to immigration from Asia Minor, Arab states in the Middle
East, North Africa, and former southern republics of the USSR, and
elsewhere; to provide a buffer between Europe and the regions
described by controlling the territory of divided, segregated and
impoverished Slavs, Serbs, Orthodox Christian, Kosovars, and others;
to exploit the resources of the region; and to prepare and condition
NATO members for future participation against other nations. U.N.
Charter; NAT, Art. I; Non Intervention Decl.
17. Attempting to Destroy the Sovereignty, Right to Self
Determination, Democracy and Culture of the Slavic, Muslim,
Christian and Other Peoples of Yugoslavia.
The United States has attempted to destroy the Sovereignty of
Yugoslavia, the rights of its people to self determination, the
democratic institutions it has developed and its culture which
defines the heritage, values and traditions of its people. The
United States overthrew the democratically elected Mossadegh
administration in Iran in 1953 which it replaced with the Shah of
Iran who ruled absolutely for 25 years; the democratically elected
Arbeny government of Guatemala which was followed by forty years of
brutal governments; the democratically elected Lumumba government of
the Congo in 1962, which was followed by violent dictators to this
day; the democratically elected Allende government of Chile which
promised health, education, social and economic justice which was
replaced by a reign of terror and military dictatorship under
General Pinochet now sought by Spain and other nations for human
rights violations; popularly elected leaders in Vietnam, Pakistan,
the Philippines, Panama, Haiti and elsewhere were replaced by U.S.
surrogates. The U.S. has opposed, assaulted and blockaded Cuba and
all its people for forty years. The U.N. General Assembly voted 155
to 2 to condemn the U.S. for its blockade of Cuba in December 1998.
The U.S. has maintained repressive governments on five continents in
too many countries to name; all seeking to destroy the cultures that
define the people, their history, character, values, arts,
literature, music, with commercially exploitive products having no
substantive worth and one overriding purpose B profits from the
poor. A goal of U.S. policy is to entrench the belief that only one
system works, capitalism, that only one culture has value, that of
the U.S. and western European, and that history will end with the
globalization of U.S. culture. UDHR; ICCPR; ICESCR.
18. The Purpose of the U.S. Being To Dominate, Control and Exploit
Yugoslavia, Its People and Its resources.
The long term purpose of all the acts complained of is to dominate,
control and exploit the poor nations of the world and the poor
people of the U.S. and other rich countries to further enrich and
empower concentrations of wealth and neutralize the whole population
of poor, overwhelmingly darker skinned people with fear,
powerlessness, poverty, bread and circus.
19. The Means of the U.S. Being Military Power and Economic
Coercion.
The United States with a near monopoly on nuclear weapons, military
aircraft, missiles, advanced armored vehicles, firepower, equipment,
and highly sophisticated technology continuously expands its
physical power to destroy, expending more on its military power than
the rest of the UN Security Council combined. This year U.S.
military expenditures will be near 300 billion dollars. The
demonized Peoples Republic of China will spend 34 billion dollars,
acquiring far less in destructive power for each dollar. The U.S.
sells more destructive arms to other governments and groups seeking
to overthrow governments than the rest of the arms selling countries
combined. Often the intention is that they kill each other, a
preferred means of achieving domination. The U.S. does not sell arms
it cannot destroy without incurring significant casualties. The U.S.
uses its enormous economic power to coerce foreign governments to
comply with its wishes, without regard to the interests of the
people of those foreign countries. The threat of economic sanctions
alone coerces countries to meet U.S. demands contrary to their
sovereignty and self interest.
ReliefSought
1. Freedom for all Balkan peoples to form a federation of their
choice to provide political, civil, social, economic and cultural
independence and viability for all the peoples of the region.
2. Comprehensive efforts to create mutual respect, common interests
and bonds of friendship among and between Muslims, Slavs and all
national, ethnic and religious groups in the Balkans.
3. Strict prohibition on all forms of foreign interference with or
disruption of efforts to establish unity, peace and stability in the
Balkans.
4. Restoration of peace making functions of the U.N. and reform of
the UN to make it effective.
5. The abolition of NATO.
6. Full accountability by individuals and governments for criminal
and other wrongful military assaults and economic injustice,
including sanctions inflicted on all the people of Yugoslavia, their
lives, resources, properties and environment to include criminal
prosecutions an reparations sufficient to place all the population
in the condition it would be in had it not suffered the wrongs
inflicted on it, together with resources with which to build a
better future of the peoples choice.
7. Abolition Of the illegal ad hoc international criminal tribunal
for Yugoslavia and reliance on a legal international tribunal of
worldwide non discriminatory jurisdiction capable of equal justice
under the law.
8. Providing adequate media access to inform the world of the human
destructiveness of the use of high technology weapons by the U.S.
against poor and defenseless people and the practice of genocide by
sanctions.
9. Removing all foreign troops from the Balkans at the earliest
feasible moment and U.S. troops from NATO countries and elsewhere
immediately.
A broader range of relief and reform may be found in Chapter 12 of
The Fire This Time. It is drawn from the experiences and
recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry and the International
War Crimes Tribunal which heard evidence in 20 countries concerning
the assault on Iraq in 1991, the continuing assaults on Iraq
thereafter and the genocidal sanctions which continue to this day.
Scope of the Inquiry
The Commission of Inquiry will focus on U.S. criminal conduct, aided
and abetted by NATO, because of the dominant U.S. role in the
military and other wrongful acts against Yugoslavia, without its
incurring a single casualty while causing thousands of deaths in
Yugoslavia, the peril of continuing U.S. conduct to all the people
of Yugoslavia and the risk of aerial and missile strikes against
other nations in view of the recidivist record of the U.S. The
Commission of Inquiry will seek and accept evidence of criminal acts
by any person or government, related to the conflict, because it
believes international law must be applied uniformly. It believes
that a "victors’ justice" is not law, but the extension of war
by force of the prevailing party. U.S. propaganda and international
media coverage has demonized Yugoslavia, its leadership, Serbs and
Muslims to fit its purposes, but rarely noticed the criminal
destruction of Yugoslavia by U.S. acts as set forth in this
complaint. Comprehensive efforts to gather and evaluate evidence,
objectively judge all the conduct that constitutes crimes against
peace, war crimes and crimes against humanity and to present these
facts for judgment to the court of world opinion requires that any
serious fair effort focus on the United States. The Commission of
Inquiry believes its focus on U.S. criminal acts is important,
proper, and the only way to bring the whole truth, a balanced
perspective and impartiality in application of legal process to this
great human tragedy.

Sure, I remember Sarajevo. This is the place where Serbs were ethnically
cleansed from. And where Bosnian Muslims kept murdering their own
people.
How the Bosnian Muslims murdered their own people in well-staged
attacks for PR reasons.
SOME OF THE FALSE MYTHS PERPETRATED BY THE WESTERN MEDIA:
-- "SNIPER ALLEY".
"French peacekeeping troops in the United Nations unit trying to curtail
Bosnian Serb snipers' attacks on civilians in Sarajevo have concluded
that until mid-June some gunfire also came from Government soldiers
deliberately shooting at their own civilians. After what it called a
'definitive' investigation, a French marine unit that patrols against
snipers said it traced sniper fire to a building normally occupied by
Bosnian [i.e., Muslim] soldiers and other security forces. A senior
French officer said, 'We find it almost impossible to believe, but we
are sure it is true." ("Investigation Concludes Bosnian Government
Snipers Shot at Civilians," New York Times, August 1, 1995).
-- FABRICATED MASSACRES.
Since the beginning of the Bosnian war in the spring of 1992, there have
been persistent reports -- readily found in the European media but
little reported in the United States -- that civilian deaths in
Muslim-held Sarajevo attributed to the Bosnian Serb Army were in some
cases actually inflicted by the Izetbegovic regime (obviously in
co-operation with US govt operatives).
- May 27, 1992. The Sarajevo Breadline Massacre.
"MUSLIMS 'SLAUGHTER THEIR OWN PEOPLE,' -- Bosnia breadline queue
massacre was propaganda ploy, UN told," (The Independent [London] 22
August 1992). This was also reported in the Toronto Star on 23 August
1992. Canadian Major General Lewis MacKenzie, first UNPROFOR Commander
writes in his book, "Peacekeeper, the Road to Sarajevo" (unavailable in
the United States),
"Our people tell us there were a number of things that didn't fit. The
street had been blocked off just before the incident. Once the crowd was
let in and lined up, the media appeared but kept their distance. The
attack took place, and the media were immediately on the scene. The
majority of the victims were alleged to be 'tame Serbs.'
- February 5, 1994 - The Sarajevo Marketplace Massacre.
See, _The Times_ (London), February 19, 1994.
Deutsch Press-Agentur reported that "for the first time, a senior UN
official has admitted the existence of a secret UN report that blames
the Bosnian Moslems for the February 1994 massacre of Moslems at the
Sarajevo market."
- August 28 1995. The Sarajevo Marketplace Massacre No. 2 (Markale).
"SERBS 'NOT GUILTY' OF MASSACRE, Experts warned US that mortar was
Bosnian," (The Sunday Times [London] 1 October 1995). Wasn't it strange
that the attack gave the Clinton administation just the excuse it needed
to demand that NATO bomb the Serbs? And it wasn't a coincidence that
Peter Jennings and Christiane Amanpour had arrived in Sarajevo just in
time to witness the mortar attack. Yet based on this deceit, NATO
planes, led primarily by American pilots, dropped over 6,000 tons of
bombs on the Serbs.
- April 1996: "Le Monde," Paris: "French Journalist, Bernard Volker, who
claimed two years ago that Muslims were responsible for the incident at
Markale market in Sarajevo has won his case in Paris and thus proved the
truthfulness of his report."
- Further proof that Muslims committed the Markale Massacre: Jean
Daniel, Editor of the magazine 'Le Nouvel Observateur,' in the August
31, 1995 issue under the revealing title, 'No more lies about Bosnia,'
made an unprecedented confession: that the Prime Minister of France at
the time of the market massacre, as well as many other ministers and two
French generals, had confirmed to him that Muslims were the true authors
of that carnage. The following statement is self explanatory:
" 'They (the Muslims) have committed this carnage on their own people?'
I exclaimed in consternation. 'Yes,' confirmed the Prime Minister
[Eduard Balledur] without hesitation, 'but at least they forced NATO to
intervene.' "
--
"We have seen our country launch a war, first by futile ultimatum, then by
a slovenly planned war that from the beginning brought more suffering to
Kosovars and Serbian civilians than to Milosevic and his troops. Far too
many Americans wrote and talked of Serbs, our allies in battles we should
remember, as if they were bugs." -- A.M. ROSENTHAL in NEW YORK TIMES (June
8-11, 1999)
A balanced overview of recent Yugoslav history,

You submit absolutely no evidence to "prove" that Bosnian Muslims bombed these
marketplaces (such as showing us the Bosnian Muslim soldiers who committed
these acts or submitting something resembling actual evidence which shows that
these shells were definitely fired by them), but is just revisionist reporting
with slogans befitting the front pages of a publication from the Institute for
Historical Review. Your methodology of factual verification perfectly mirrors
the Holocaust hoaxers who "prove" that there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz
by quoting "expert" articles written by non-experts like David Irving, or old
German Nazis with a vested interest in perpetuating their point of view. And
what's the "proof"? Well, half-truths like maybe one of the shells could've
come from the direction of the Bosnian Muslims, or maybe one of the shells was
commonly used by those Bosnian Muslims (Serbs too, but their beyond reproach
and would never hurt a soul) or, better yet, because a Chetnik Serb said so.
The reasoning for this is quite clear. It's to racially rationalize the
conduct of the favored ethnic group of the racial apologist. You're not the
first one I've run into, either. I've actually met other Serbs who swear that
the slaughter of Srebrenica never took place, but was really perpetrated by
Islamic fundamentalists. It's tough for me as an anti-war person to have any
respect this type of pap. Once people become that ethnically deluded, the
first casualty is truth. It's tough to tell who's worse. The NATO folk
swearing up and down all of their slaughters are accidents, or the
ethno-propagandists proclaiming the self-inflicted suicide inclinations of all
their enemies, who somehow live to rape, bomb, and kill themselves. Your
mindset is no different from Ferg's (what with all of these supposed
"characteristics" of Bosnian Muslims and Serbs). The only different is that
he's open enough to call himself for what he is.

Really. Here's a quote from one of your pasted headlines. "MUSLIMS 'SLAUGHTER
THEIR OWN PEOPLE,' -- Bosnia breadline queue massacre was propaganda ploy, UN
told." What was the factual source of this? The opinion of General MacKenzie,
who even today admits he doesn't know for certain who bombed the market places
(just read his recent interview for the anti-war Canadian magazine _Peace_
several months ago). You extrapolated this headline to pimp the notion that
they killed themselves from an opinion. That's dishonest.

No revisionism, just expose things as they truly are, without the b.s. heroic
portrayals, or ethnic and ideological mirages, and dishonest verification
techniques of factual claims that rest on another's opinion.

"Cheap smears." Excuse me, but you are quoting as a fact that they bombed
themselves when your sources don't prove this at all. It's opinion.
If this is the state of the anti-war movement, it's easy to see why we've become
so insignificant. It's not a peace movement at all. Instead, it's a bunch of
ethnic apologists whose only regret is that their side didn't win. The "peace"
stance is just a phony convenience (like those communists after the Nazi-Soviet
Non-Aggression Pact and before the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union). If I had
a dime for every "anti-war" racist (particularly in the U.S.) who compared
breeding Albanian jack-rabbits to over-reproducing Latinos in California, I'd be
a rich man. I want nothing of it. Let the nationalists rot, along with their
national flags (starting with mine).

I'm not saying you're a Serb, oh peaceful-talking pseudo pacifist. I said I met
other Serbs, not you, non-peacenik.

Not at all. It's part and parcel of the dishonesty of the ethnic lobbies in
attempting to mind-twist everyone about how pristine they are, and how non-human
their enemies are (and this with "evidence" based on opinion). This reminds me
of how in one of these NGs a couple of months ago I was lambasting Operating
Storm (the Croatian invasion and ethnic cleansing of the Krajina back in '95),
and there was a Croat-apologist calling me a Nazi for being critical of Tudjman
because he had fought with the Partisans during WWII. That's how utterly
brainwashed the ethnic groups in this region are, and it will probably take
another generation or two (long after the ethno-propagandists die from their
hatreds) before people in this part of the world can live together again. I
look at all of this as the same. I have absolutely no room or respect for it,
for it's this type of thinking that has helped stoke so many of the animosities
of the Balkans on all sides.
> : It's tough for me as an anti-war person to have any : respect this

>

Read my previous posts in these NGs criticizing NATO's war. I'm a peacenik who
not only opposed NATO's bombings, but even helped demonstrate and crash
Albright-Cohen-Berger's pro-war rally on CNN back in February of '98 when they
made the deadly mistake of coming to Ohio State University campus to drum up
support for bombing Iraq. However, the difference between me and the Balkan
ethnic lobbies is that I have no fantasies about the behavior of the ethnic
groups in this region, and the amount of self-victimization the groups have
whipped themselves into is a disgrace. Every one of them do this. Kill each
other and accuse the other side of starting it or doing it to themselves. The
more I look at it, the more it convinces me the groups in this region have
learned absolutely nothing from the lessons of history, not the least any of the
ideas of human rights or pluralism. Show me a difference between a Serb
policeman in Kosovo three months ago or a KLA guerilla. There isn't one.

Not at all. As a matter of anti-war principle, I opposed the NATO war on
Yugoslavia. Out of that same anti-war principle, so too would I have opposed my
country's entrance in the two world wars, but you wouldn't have seen me doing
public readings from the Nibelungenlied, either. Moreover, from the evidentiary
admittance of the people who committed many of these crimes in public for all to
see, I also have no illusions about the conduct of the Serbs over the past 10
years in the Balkans (along with the Croats and Bosnians). It's difficult to
see the difference between the policies of Milosevic and Tudjman. If you can't
look at these things honestly (and try to pass opinion off as fact), that's your
problem.
> If you have any problems with the evidence I've provided, deal with it.
I not only dealed with it, I actually listed it. The evidence is non-existent.
You claim they bombed themselves. What's the evidence? Accusations by sources
based on opinion and possibility (a mortar that both sides have access to). No
physical evidence that the Bosnian Muslims committed any of these market
massacres (although it's entirely possible considering the Crusades-like
ethnic-religious atmosphere among some of the inhabitants there). When you make
a claim of certainty, you have to back it up. Having a Canadian general saying
that he thinks the other side might have done it doesn't cut it.
> Put up or shut up.
Likewise. Show me the evidence that they bombed their own people, instead of
someone's opinion hidden by a mere headline. If you tried this in debate class,
or a thesis, you would be thrown out in 5 minutes.

Sure, and to do this you had to ally yourselves with the same people you
racially despise, Russians and Serbs. That's rather utilitarian of
you. Of course, you're probably one of those situational racists who
could in one war declare Germans no good Huns out to kill everyone, and
in the next extoll the brave Bundeswehr for their work in Kosovo.

There was no good vs. evil as you say it in the Balkans. Those same
Serbs were also ethnically cleansed from Croatia. Those same Albanians
are also partaking in reprisal killings in Kosovo. That's war. This
ignorant notion that an entire race is evil, or somehow inclined to
communism (as if the gnome can fathom that) and deserves death is the
same type of thinking that led Hitler to Operation Barbarossa. No one,
absolutely no people have an inside track on evil. The English, I'm
sure the Irish have their complaints (along with the Indians). The
Americans (assuming one could even call us a race), the Vietnamese and
African slaves have dibs on us. The Australians, another history filled
with white-invading butchers of indigenous peoples. The Germans, well,
let's face it, they aren't exactly history's victims. Name me a people,
and I will show you a history filled with murder and rape because that's
the human experience, comprised for however long a period of arrogant
leaders and obedient masses who thought that they had the right to rule
over others. To be sure, there's no excuse for this behavior
(explaining my clash with Yuri), but neither is such conduct inevitable
or delineated by race. Killing and oppressing people is a human
problem, and you aren't going to stop it by taking issue with the race
of the situational killers in that instance, least anyone hold the
mirror up to your cultural background and damn you for any past or
present conduct committed by those within your group.

In the middle of conflict as in Kosovo,
massacres can easily be perpetrated... or
"arranged." There are always television crews
looking precisely for that "top story."
Recently, Croatian officers have admitted
that in 1993 they themselves staged a "Serbian
bombing" of the Croatian coastal city of
Sibenik for the benefit of Croatian television
crews. The former Commander of the 113th
Croatian brigade headquarters, Davo Skugor,
reacted indignantly. "Why so much fuss?" he
complained. "There is no city in Croatia in
which such tactical tricks were not used.
After all, they are an integral part of

And this from a "peace activist"?
No, I just corrected your grammatical error. Well, here, O literate one,
let's re-quote the disputed sentence. "Here's a hint: I'm using various
prestige Western media sources to back up my claims."
That is a grammatical error. Prestige is a noun. You need a more
qualifying and descriptive version of prestige (i.e., an adjective). The
proper adjective to prestige is prestigious, which is not a difference but a
correction.
As for the "difference" between these two words here's the Webster's
dictionary definition of the two.
Prestige--n. 1. The power to impress or influence. 2. Reputation based
on high achievement, character, etc.
Prestigious--adj. Having or imparting PRESTIGE [emphasis mine] or
distinction.
Real difference there, but then you're the one who accuses me of being
"illiterate." I suppose we know the truthfulness of that one--about the
same as your other claims of fact based on an opinion of the possibility
that one of the groups bombed their own people.

Actual evidence, not opinions of people with a vested interested in a PR

had access to the mortars used.

Really? Then let's prove it. Let's get together in a public forum,

And lots of people also expressed the opposite opinions. And the facts?
There's no evidence, which you are now admitting. You knew from the start
there wasn't any "evidence" "proving" that the Muslims bombed their own
people (just, in your word, "opinions"). Opinions of something that might
have happened doesn't exceed the bar of evidence. In the common law court
system, at best, this is testimony, which one can choose to believe or
discount. You're a believer, for obvious reasons (as Ferg is a believer for
other side's butchers).

Wrong. In that interview, MacKenzie states he doesn't know who did it,
period, on either side. He admits that it could've been either one, which
is the truth, but hardly proves that either one actually did it.

Yugoslavia was breaking up long before Germany and the U.S. got involved.
Actually, the U.S. opposed the initial breakup of Yugoslavia (what with it
being $10 billion in debt to international lenders), and even went so far as
to oppose the recognition of Croatia in December '91. It was after the
atrocities of Bosnia in 1992 that we finally got involved, and even then
taking sides, which is normally what happens with non-peaceful superpowers
with huge militaries. It has nothing to do with morality or right and
wrong, which you as a ethnic apologist should fully understand. I can
guarantee you that had we taken the stance to bomb Zagreb for what the
Croats did in the Krajina back in '95, you would've been on the front lines
cheering it. That's because you aren't a real peace activist, but an ethnic
partisan who not only refuses to face the truth, but avoids it by filling
your posts with silly ad hominems and factual claims based on "opinions."

More than that, all armed murderers (NATO, Serb, Albanian). No difference.
Killers are killers throughout the world, and their moral ethic is the same.
You just can't accept that because you think that your killers are defending
themselves by kicking people out of their homes, burning down their
villages, shooting them and burying them in mass graves. I say those
killings are morally no different than dropping cruise missiles on cities,
oil refineries, and hospitals. I'm the only peacenik here who makes that
claim, as you think one group of killers are actually good, which is why you
can not by definition be a peacenik or peace activist anymore than Sir
Arthur Harris.

Now you're contradicting yourself. Earlier in this post, you claimed, "The
real butchers of the Balkans are Germany and US...." and, "You're blaming
the victims for
the sins of the meddling outsiders." Now here you are trying to feign
concern about "Serb extremists" who you obviously don't name. Where? Not
in Kosovo (the worst act of Serb extremism in the entire Balkans wars this
past decade). You think their mass expulsions and slaughter were in defense
against NATO. This is like running into some American redneck who thinks
that our imprisonment of hundreds of thousands of Japanese Americans during
WWII was defending ourselves against Hirohito. If you can come into these
new groups and talk about Muslims killing themselves and Albanians being
kicked out by NATO, I think it's safe to say your concern about Serb
extremists is about the same as Ferg's concern for Croat extremists, zilch.
>: It's difficult to : see the difference between the policies of

>
>You mean there is none?
No, except ethnicity, but in principle, they're the same. They actually
allied themselves in the ethnic cleansing of the Krajina, as Milosevic made
a quick peace with Tudjman after Operation Storm, and then tried to take
those ethnically cleansed Serbs and bus them to Kosovo to remake the ethnic
composition of that state for his own political ends. That's about the same
amount of scruples exerted as when Tudjman used the acceptance of the
Muslim-Croat federation in Bosnia as a means to gain U.S. support for
Operation Storm. Such Machiavellianism is a common trait among thugs.

Sure, like your "opinions"-based article? By this deluded standard, David

OK, I invite other readers to intervene and make their own judgments. Do
you think it's over my head to note Yuri's statements about how Bosnian
Muslims killed their own people, claimed it a fact, then cited sources whose
"evidence" was actually based on opinion, and then when called on it
responded with the usual schoolyard behavior, only to finally admit that it
was indeed based on "opinions"?
"This time," as if there was a last time? These aren't Bosnian Muslims
admitting to bombing their own people (as there wasn't before when you tried
passing opinion off as fact), but Croats (the Serbs ethnic cleansing
brothers) admitting to doing what the Serbs (through you) and Bosnians
(through the Western media) do, spread b.s. and PR.
Who cares what you think, the point is, NATO stood up to the
Serbian mass-murderers and said "enough is enough".
Kosovo didn't end up going the same way as Bosnia (remember,
another ethnic war started by Serbs) because NATO sorted the
aggressors out quick smart instead of allowing the
mass-murders to continue for 4 years.
After the treatment the Serbs dealt out to unarmed UN troops
in Bosnia (remember, tying them to radio towers and bridges
and using them as human shields?) is it any wonder that NATO
was so happy to bomb the crap out of the Serb arseholes?
The obvious lesson to Serbia is "Don't fuck with NATO -
listen to them and deal with your problems in a
non-Commie-Nazi totalitarian way".
You only defend Serbia because you belong to the minority of
those who actually benefited from the ugly oppression that
was communism in Eastern Europe and you still hanker after
the days when you could act like a savage without regard to
the consequences.
Those days are over, commie-lover, and your ilk will soon be
nothing more than an unpleasant blot on the pages of the
history of the human race.
Communism is DEAD - and so are the Nazis that the Serbs
resemble so much.
A Nazi like you should know all about mass murder. You're specialists in
this department.

But the problem is that this "country" exists only in the imagination of

So this was done by Croats, but the Muslims are too "good and naturally

Images of Atrocities
Coverage of Yugoslavia "has been driven by pictures of violence," an
anonymous senior network producer told the New York Times (6/10/92).
"Everybody seems to want to go for the blood.... It's back to, 'Cut me a
minute of bang-bang.' But nobody wants to go into the issues behind the
bangs." In turn, images of atrocities have driven U.S. and international
policy toward the conflict.
The most spectacular example was the May 27 Sarajevo breadline massacre,
which occurred shortly before the European Community was to consider
sanctions against Serbia. The gruesome pictures of blood-drenched pavement
and severed limbs were broadcast around the world, and the press--despite
lack of evidence--concluded that this was a deliberate Serbian mortar
attack: "cease-fire, Serbian-style" (U.S. News & World Report, 6/8/92),
"shattering hopes that Serbian aggression had been curbed by the threat of
international sanctions." (L.A. Times, 5/28) Within several days, the Bush
administration, citing the attack, championed the passage of severe UN
sanctions against Serbia.
Only three months later was it revealed in a front-page story in the
London Independent (8/22/92) that "United Nations officials and Western
military officers believe some of the worst recent killings in Sarajevo,
including the massacre of at least 16 people in a bread queue, were the
work of the city's mainly Muslim defenders--not Serb besiegers--as a
propaganda ploy to win world sympathy and trigger military intervention."
This sensational revelation--that the press had been spectacularly
duped--was carried by a number of U.S. news agencies (AP, Reuters, CNN,
ABC), though not as prominently as the initial incident. Among those
ignoring the story was the New York Times , which had given front-page
coverage to what it treated as deliberate Serbian attacks--both the
breadline massacre and another incident believed to have been similarly
staged, the August 4 attack on a funeral for "Croatian orphan" Vedrana
Glavas (in fact Serbian, and not an orphan).
The breadline massacre was not the first time that the New York Times ,
whose coverage had been among the most one-sided, has reported fiction as
fact. Sometimes the paper ignores its own reports, as in a June 27
headline, "Serbs Shatter Airport Truce," over an article that notes in
paragraph 7 that Bosnian government forces "admitted" to breaking the
cease-fire.
[unquote]
Read this whole long article, and maybe you'll manage to learn something
new... I won't bet on it though.
Here's the sentence in question, "I'm using various prestige Western media sources
to back up my claims." "Prestige Western media" is not an idiom. "Prestige
media," however, as used in this Noam Chomksy sentence, is an idiom, "We're much
more aware of the media, particularly the prestige media, because those who
critically analyze ideology have focused on them." By adding "Western," you
infused an adjective where one didn't previously exist, thereby splitting the
idiom.
To better illustrate this, "glamour boy" is a common idiom that generally means
someone who is a glamour or attention-seeker (along with being rather immature).
Infuse "Canadian" into it and it reads "glamour Canadian boy." That is splitting
an idiom, and when it's corrected don't expect sympathy by referring to its
pre-mutilated form.

Because you don't have the "evidence." There is not ONE reputable source you
cited which stated that these mortars were only accessible to Bosnian Muslims.
You quoted newspaper headlines and infused your opinion afterwards. That is not
evidence.

I'm not. I asked you for evidence and you gave me (by your own admission)
"opinions" or an article about some U.N. bureaucrat saying that he "believes" that
the Bosnian Muslims could've done it. A newspaper headline whose crux is an
opinion based on possibility or probability doesn't cut it.

You mean those "prestige Western media" sources who you insincerely attack one
moment and cite from as authority the next? Sure, I know all about these
hypocrites and propagandists. That's why I get my sources from publications like
_Peace_ magazine, and other sources in the alternative media.
> > And the facts? There's no evidence, which you are now admitting.
>
> You're a liar. I admitted no such thing.
This was your exact response to my criticism of your "evidence" article (The
Independent [London] 22 August 1992), in which I called you on your claim that
this source and others were not evidentiary but just an opinion, "Get a clue. See
above. LOTS OF PEOPLE expressed the same opinions..." That's your evidence,
opinions. It's the same thing with the U.N. story. Someone there "believes" that
the Bosnian Muslims could've done it, so you cite that as authority that they
actually bombed the marketplaces. You tried the same thing with General
MacKenzie, but as you will see just below, your use of him as a source to prove
that Bosnian Muslims bombed the marketplaces was as patently dishonest as the rest
of your non-existent "evidence."

Many sides, many players? Backtracking already, Ferg, oops, Yuri? [You two are
so much alike, it's tough to tell you guys apart sometimes.] First you claim as a
fact that the Bosnian Muslims committed the marketplace bombings, and used General
MacKenzie as a source for that "evidence." When I call you on this falsity, you
then try to backtrack and claim that he might not know who committed the bombings
after all (some evidence!), but certainly it wasn't the Serbs (hmmm, no worry
about "Serb extremists" there). When corrected, now you call me "stupid" and then
attempt to infuse the "many sides and many players" disclaimer. That's not going
to work for you this time.
Here's the words of General MacKenzie, who you originally used as a source to
prove that the Bosnian Muslims committed the marketplace bombings.
"My book says quite clearly that we will never know who did the breadline
massacre. People say I am accusing the Bosnians of doing it to themselves. And I
say, no, absolutely not!...when I say it could have been the Bosnian side, that
does not mean it was government policy; it could have been one of many criminal
elements, a freelance unit or, EQUALLY [emphasis mine], it could been the Bosnian
Serb side."
My sentiments exactly.
This is from General MacKenzie's interview with the Canadian pacifist _Peace_
magazine (November-December 1998 issue, page 18). Its Internet site is

By the 1980s Yugoslavia was already $10 billion in debt to lending institutions in
the West. This was a result of Tito's conversion of Yugoslavia to a capitalist
economy, while simultaneously maintaining a Communist governing structure (very
much like the capitalist deviationists in China's ruling Communist government
today). This conversion to loan capitalism had the consequence of destroying the
Yugoslav economy. By 1988, industrial output in Yugoslavia had contracted 20% (in
one year). From the mid 1980s, the Yugoslav economy was in full free-fall,
precipitating and exacerbating the socioeconomic situation, discrediting the
Yugoslav state, and helping to incite the national break-up that would occur in
1990-91. Germany's involvement began later, right after its reunification in
1990, when it pushed for recognition of Croatia. The U.S. involvement, what one
there was, initially opposed any break-up, as our vested interest was in wanting
to see Yugoslavia continue in its unified federation to pay of its debts to our
bankers. We even went so far as the oppose the December 1991 recognition of
Croatia by the EEC (instigated by Germany). Our military involvement began as a
consequence of the Bosnian civil war (starting in 1992), which was in part
instigated by the one-sided coverage of CNN.

Change the subject? I'm asking a question. You claim that the crimes in the
Balkans were committed by outsiders. I merely showed you one instance, the 1995
massacre of Srebrenica (perpetrated by Chetnik Serbs and mercenary Croats) to
disprove this. The vast majority of the people killed in the Balkans over the
past 10 years were killed by people from the Balkans (insiders).

I'm right there with the real peaceniks. Here's the Women in Black, a
pacifist-feminist group in Belgrade. Notice the commonality of their views with
my views on these same issues.
http://www.neww.org/kosova/belgrade.htm
http://www.neww.org/kosova/Belgrade/041299bel.htm
http://www.neww.org/kosova/Belgrade/032499le.htm
http://www.igc.apc.org/balkans/women/wib-st.html
Those are real peaceniks, Yuri, not the phony, situational "peace activists" who
spend all of their time making excuses for their side's massacres by denying that
they ever took place, or blaming those slaughters on others.
Naturally, being a pacifist in Belgrade has its disadvantages. Like peaceniks
everywhere, we get accused of being dupes for the other side because of our
moralizing that all killers are just that, butchers who deserve no support.
Here's an excellent article on what the Women in Black in Belgrade have to
confront.
http://www.feminista.com/v3n1/hughes.html
This is a quote from that article from a Yugoslav government official during the
NATO-Yugoslav war, criticizing the Women in Black for opposing BOTH the war on
Yugoslavia and the ethnic cleansing of Kosovar Albanians.
"We should take the US threats very seriously but we must not be frightened. We
will have an enormous number of victims and great material damages, but we don't
have a spare fatherland. We must fight at all costs; no matter by whom we are
attacked. Our determination to defend ourselves by all means should prove that if
they want to attack us they should withdraw their supporters. Š[the US should]
withdraw their quislings, like Š. Women in Black, and not leave them as hostages.
Maybe we can not reach every airplane, but we will grab those who are close to
us."
Hmmm, sound familiar?
And from this quisling, I say, amen.

Not at all. You're the one making the racist leap by ethnically associating Croat
PR with being evidence that proves Bosnian Muslims bomb themselves. I've said
from the very beginning that Bosnian Muslims may well have committed some or even
all of these marketplace bombings. My view is in line with MacKenzie on this.
However, unlike you, I do not trust ANY of the sides in this because all of them
have the habit of lying through their teeth, which is why I have little respect
for people who try to pass off "opinions" (by your own admittance) as fact. This
is a very common practice among the ethnic lobbies from the Balkans, and I have no
room for it anymore than I do for U.S. State Department lies about how it bombed a
chemical weapons (i.e., pharmaceutical) factory in Sudan—based off the opinion of
the CIA, of course.

I don't dispute this at all. The quote criticizes the pro-Bosnian sympathies of
the New York Times (whose habit of passing partisan opinion as fact is actually
the same methodology that you use in these posts).
Since you like quoting from FAIR, here's FAIR columnist Norman Solomon, "The
regimes based in Belgrade, Zagreb and Sarajevo can point to horrible massacres
perpetrated by each other during the 1990s. Those governments insist that the
atrocities they committed did not really occur -- or were justified in response to
earlier monstrous offenses."
http://www.fair.org/media-beat/990610.html
Now, let us compare this rational critique with some of your previous statements.
"The real butchers of the Balkans are Germany and US, but pseudo-progressives like
you are trying to shift the blame elsewhere."
"So a NATO-armed murdering terrorist is the same in your eyes as someone defending
their small country from an attack by NATO?"
Seems like Solomon and FAIR have a better grip on reality.
I find you extremely evasive and deceitful, Tony. Really you're a pathetic
liar. Now you're saying,
> I've said from the very beginning that Bosnian Muslims may well have
> committed some or even all of these marketplace bombings.
You lie. Because you've never allowed for this possibility in your opening
post. In fact, you've opened by smearing me with being a follower of the
Nazi "Institute for Historical Review".
So now, according to you, this subject becomes legitimate, all of a
sudden. This is what a liar you are...
> > So go to the sources I cited. Or do an Internet search. Why do I have to

You're lying again. I've provided cites from FAIR.

So now you're raising the bar of evidentiary proof to a new level.
Listen, punk, I have no interest in discussing this subject with you. I
consider you as yet more lying and smearing Net trash. This is how you
presented yourself right from the beginning.
You're not interested in truth, but merely in wasting my time, in having
a pissing contest here, and in smears.
"I'm a better peace activist than you?" Get lost, idiot.
I consider that I've made my point already, since you now admit that my
scenario is plausible. Case closed AFAIAC.

Origins of the breakup -- a U.S. law
A year before the breakup of the Socialist Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia, on Nov. 5, 1990, the U.S. Congress passed the 1991
Foreign Operations Appropriations Law 101-513. This bill was a
signed death warrant. One provision in particular was so lethal that
even a CIA report described three weeks later in the Nov. 27, 1990,
New York Times predicted it would lead to a bloody civil war.
A section of Law 101-513 suddenly and without previous warning cut
off all aid, trade, credits and loans from the U.S. to Yugoslavia
within six months. It also ordered separate elections in each of the
six republics that make up Yugoslavia, requiring State Department
approval of election procedures and results before aid to the
separate republics would be resumed. The legislation further
required U.S. personnel in all international financial institutions
such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund to
enforce this cut-off policy for all credits and loans.
There was one final provision. Only forces that the U.S. State
Department defined as "democratic forces" would receive funding.
This meant an influx of funds to small right-wing nationalist
parties in a financially strangled region suddenly thrown into
crisis by the overall funding cut-off.
The impact was, as expected, devastating.

That's a Canadian trait. Once hockey season is over, and they have
no place to go to be hostages, or to rape nurses and terrorize mental
patients, or backshoot unarmed teenagers, all they can do is bitch
about us in order to try to deflect everyone away from their failure

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate. - Steven Wright
Really. Here's an August 9th post of mine on this exact thread. "What's the
evidence [to your claim that Bosnian Muslims committed all of the marketplace
massacres]? Accusations by sources based on opinion and possibility (a mortar
that both sides have access to). No physical evidence that the Bosnian Muslims
committed any of these market massacres (although it's entirely possible
considering the Crusades-like ethnic-religious atmosphere among some of the
inhabitants there)."
This was almost a week ago, in my second response post to you on this thread. I
can presume that throughout this thread, you have either not bothered to read
all of my responses to your posts, or you just wanted to get another opportunity
to falsely accuse me of lying (perfectly understandable considering your
non-factual, ad populum/ad hominem-based style of conversing in these posts).
As I've said from the beginning, unlike you, I've never put it above any of the
groups to commit these marketplace bombings. That's because all of these groups
involved are combatants, and warfare brings out the most dishonest and deceptive
in the perpetrators and their apologists.
> In fact, you've opened by smearing me with being a follower of the
> Nazi "Institute for Historical Review".
That's not what I said at all. You're trying to be slippery again, like you
just previously did when accusing me of never once believing that any of the
groups could've committed the marketplace massacres. Here, let's correct your
mistake, so you can get my accusations right. "You submit absolutely no
evidence to "prove" that Bosnian Muslims bombed these marketplaces (such as
showing us the Bosnian Muslim soldiers who committed these acts or submitting
something resembling actual evidence which shows that these shells were
definitely fired by them), but is just revisionist reporting with slogans
befitting the front pages of a publication from the Institute for Historical
Review. Your methodology of factual verification perfectly mirrors the
Holocaust hoaxers who "prove" that there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz by
quoting "expert" articles written by non-experts like David Irving, or old
German Nazis with a vested interest in perpetuating their point of view."
Nowhere in this did I ever accuse you of being a member or follower of the
Institute for Historical Review. You see, when I make accusations they are
actually backed up with something resembling a logical argument with even a
correlation, not the silly schoolyard "your mama" ad hominems that shows an
unpolished set of beliefs that you can't even back up when you attempt to
propagandize them. I stated that your "methodology" of trying to pass
"opinions" (your admittance) off as facts is the same methodology that the
Institute for Historical Review employees to relativize their favored killers.
That is no different than any propagandist. The American government does the
same exact thing, as does CNN. That hardly makes them followers of the
Institute for Historical Review.

Sure, like your earlier accusation when you falsely accused me of being a liar
after claiming I never once entertained the possibility that any of the groups
could've bombed the marketplaces in Bosnia?
> > > So go to the sources I cited. Or do an Internet search. Why do I have to

Nowhere in the FAIR site did it provide "evidence" that the marketplace
massacres were committed by Bosnian Muslims. This is becoming all too common
with you (I even have to goto the mat with you to correct your grammatical
errors and idiom-splitting). This is the paragraph in contention from the FAIR
site you provided (http://www.fair.org/extra/9210/bosnia.html).
"Only three months later was it revealed in a front-page story in the London
Independent (8/22/92) that 'United Nations
officials and Western military officers believe some of the worst recent
killings in Sarajevo, including the massacre of at least 16
people in a bread queue, were the work of the city's mainly Muslim
defenders--not Serb besiegers--as a propaganda ploy to
win world sympathy and trigger military intervention.'"
In other words, your "evidence" is a site that criticizes the propaganda and the
omissions of the prestige media with a newspaper headline carrying the
accusation of a U.N. official who says they "believe" that some of the
marketplace massacres could've been committed by Bosnian Muslims. As with your
earlier attempt to utilize General MacKenzie to verify your factual claims, this
is not evidence that the Bosnian Muslims committed the massacres.
When you state you have evidence, and introduce opinion, it is what we call in
the legal community "speculation." Now, if you raise it up to an accusation,
and can actually cite this accusation from an expert source, it is considered
viewpoint. This would be corresponding to the testimony of an expert witness.
Testimony and belief are not evidence, as evidence is factual, something based
on more than "opinions."
> > There is not ONE reputable source you cited which stated that these
> > mortars were only accessible to Bosnian Muslims.
>
> So now you're raising the bar of evidentiary proof to a new level.
As with everything else in this post, I'll have to re-quote these contended
parts of this thread to de-bunk your willful falsities.
When I accused you of not providing any evidence to your claims, you asked me
[on August 11], "So what kind of evidence do you want me to cite then?"
To this question, I responded with the suggestion, "Actual evidence...For
example, evidence that shows only Bosnian Muslims had access to the mortars
used."
To this suggestion, you responded, "I gave my sources. Why are you wasting my
time now?" and "Why do I have to spoon-feed an ignoramus like you?"
To your b.s. avoidance, I responded, "Because you don't have the 'evidence.'
There is not ONE reputable source you
cited which stated that these mortars were only accessible to Bosnian Muslims.
You quoted newspaper headlines and infused your opinion afterwards. That is not
evidence."
This is what elicited your response that I was "raising the bar" of evidence by
referring back to the illustration of suggested evidence of a mortar accessible
to only one side (instead of both), and which you asked for. When you ask for
an example of evidence, and I give it to you, it is not "raising the bar" to
refer back to it when I criticize you for submitting "evidence" that is based on
opinions.

Sure, like your earlier attempt in this post to smear me when you accused me of
calling you a follower of the Institute for Historical Review, or your
newly-polished childish use of such truth-seeking phrases like "listen, punk,"
and "pissing contest."
> "I'm a better peace activist than you?" Get lost, idiot.
I would only be a better peace activist than you if you were actually a peace
activist. You are not even a pacifist. You even take to imitating Clint
Eastwood and lace your posts with so many schoolground words ("idiot," "punk,"
"moron," "pissing contest"). I have to start questioning your maturity level.

Oh, this is convenient. First, you claim that I have never entertained the
notion that any side could've committed these massacres, and then you top it off
by coming back in the same post and declare that since I have opined the
possibility that Bosnian Muslims could've done it then it proves your case that
they actually did it. You've got to do better than that. If you are going to
make false accusations against me, you could at least stick with them in the
same post, instead of accepting that I actually did say that Bosnian Muslims
could've bombed those marketplaces, and then dishonestly LOWERING the bar of
evidence by using my opinion of probability as fact that Bosnian Muslims really
did it.

Wow, that's real proof (alleged victims and third party sources). And here you
are quoting from a book written by a guy who said that it could've been Bosnian
Serbs who bombed those marketplaces as easily as the Bosnian Muslims.
> Now you're trying to distract attention once again, like a NATzO stooge that

This is starting to remind me of the propagandists from Animal Farm who would
drown out any dissent from Napoleon with the lines, "Four feet good. Two feet
bad." That's beyond delusion. A delusional person can be honestly mistaken. I
can tell by your evasions in these posts (replete with diversionary insults)
that you know better, but consciously choose to back your favored combatants and
rationalize their slaughters as Muslim suicide. This shows a great amount of
culpability on your part.
That's just a regurgitation of my comments in my previous response in this
thread when I chronicled the economic causes of the split-up of Yugoslavia
through Yugoslavia's sell-out to IMF austerity-capitalism. Diplomatically, the
U.S. throughout this period opposed the break-up of Yugoslavia. The reasoning
for this is obvious. The U.S. can't get that money back if Yugoslavia breaks
up. This was just a part and parcel of the Bush Administration's support for
the continued federation of the Soviet Union as well. Secretary of State Baker
and President Bush were at one in 1990-1991 in favoring the continued federation
of Yugoslavia, which is why Bush and Baker were so lambasted by the pro-war
crowd, and was enflamed even more when President Bush pushed for and helped
impose an arms embargo on the region. Then entered President Clinton, who in
1993 began the process of eventual U.S. military intervention into Bosnia.
Flounders's article actually lists this ascension of involvement--beginning in
1994 with CIA involvement in Croatia and Bosnia. Clinton also began the process
of allowing the Iranians to come in, subvert Bush's arms embargo, and arm the
Bosnians and Croats.
> What's the point of wasting time with someone who's obviously so biased
> and dishonest as you?
As opposed to your vigorous honesty in using my speculative opinion about how
the Bosnian Muslims could've bombed those makertplaces as evidence proving your
claim that the Bosnian Muslims were indeed guilty? And this after your earlier
accusation (in the same post, no less) that I had never once entertained the
notion that the Bosnian Muslims could've bombed the marketplaces.
> > as our
>
> "Our" means you identify with US govt? How indicative...
No, as in a pejorative term because by accident of birth I am a citizen of the
U.S. Do Iraqi opponents of the Gulf War automatically apply as hacks for Saddam
Hussein? Do you associate with the Canadian government? I would hope not.
Your government and country are nothing more than water carriers for the U.S.
anyway.

What? Opinions? Because someone at the U.N. says the other side could've done
it? Because a quote from a book written by a guy who thinks the Bosnian Serbs
could've done it too?

The JNA, not the U.S., invaded Bosnia in 1992. What was President Bush's
response? He imposed an arms embargo, which harmed Bosnia much more than it did
the Serb-dominated JNA. This is why it took the Clinton Administration to come
in after 1993 to subvert Bush's embargo to allow our most-favored killers to arm
themselves.

Here's yet another one of your contradictions. You accuse me making smears
against you, and what do you follow this with? A smear! Have I ever called you
a "moron," "idiot," "punk," or "disgusting"? What hypocrisy. You've done this
throughout these posts. You call me a liar for saying that I've never
considered Bosnian Muslims as possible marketplace bombers, even though I
clearly did. Then you come back and use my concept of the possibility that
Bosnian Muslims could've bombed those marketplaces as evidence proving that they
did it! No distortions there. At least show some consistency or common sense.
If you're going to accuse me of lying on something, don't repeat my opinion that
you said I never harbored. If you are going to accuse me of "smears," you could
at least wait until another part of the post before throwing in your playground
slurs.
Let's put this whole thing into perspective. Right from the beginning,
Western "free media" had condemned "the Serbs" for these crimes in one
voice. No doubts were ever raised about who may have done these grisly
deeds. As a result, important policy decisions were made on the basis of
these massive vicious and racist propaganda campaigns. Only much later
was it leaked that the identity of the perpetrators is far from clear.
So why did you attack me for trying to set the record straight?
Yuri.

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
Which beginning?
The beginning of the war in Kosova, the fourth war started
by the Serbs in the Balkans?
I'd say the media had had plenty of time to examine the
conduct of the Serb dogs in the Balkans over the past decade
before deciding to (correctly) cast them as the 'bad guys'.

Liar. As you yourself have reported here, some people have
indeed raised unsubstantiated doubts over the commisssion of
these crimes.
> As a result, important policy decisions were made on the

> these massive vicious and racist propaganda campaigns.
No, important policy decisions were made on the basis of the
massive and vicious criminal acts of the Serbs, which
included kidnapping unarmed UN soldiers who were there to
try to keep the peace.
The Serbs decided to declare war on the UN, and they copped
what they deserved for doing so.
> Only much later
> was it leaked that the identity of the perpetrators is far

Certain unconvicing people have voiced unconvincing doubts
without any evidence to back them up. Investigations into
these doubts, widely reported in the media, were
inconclusive, leaving us to conclude that in the absence of
any proof to the contrary, we will assume that the culprits
of these horrible crimes, true to character, were the Serbs.
So who massacred all the unarmed men after the fall of
Vukovar?
Is there any doubt as to the identities of the Serbs who
massacred over 200 men after dragging them from their
hospital beds?
Is there any doubt as to the Serbian identity of the
mass-murderers who set-up and ran the concentration camps in
Bosnia?
If there is a slight doubt as to the specific identity of
the mortar-murderers and child-killing snipers in Sarajevo,
it certainly doesn't tally with the numerous interviews done
with those Serb snipers wherein they boasted of the many
muslim civilians they had murdered.
And anyway, if the Ukraine could break away from the
moribund piece of shit that was the USSR without a war, and
to get Russia to agree to share the military hardware, why
couldn't Serbia?
There is absolutely no arguing the fact that all these
Balkan wars were started by populist Nationalist-Socialist
Serb politicians in order to deny their neighbours the
opportunity for self-determination.
And we have Serbia ONCE AGAIN poised on the brink of
starting the fifth war in the Balkans, this time against
Montenegro, and yet again a war they will humiliatingly lose
as the Serb dog-soldiers prove they are only good at
murdering the unarmed and not at actually fighting.

If i remember well, "bad guys" label is ten years old. I did not see any
effort of "deciding" in the media, but i did see substantial effort of
labeling (just to mention picturing serbian victims as croats in the very
beginning of war in Croatia - for example).

Arkan was never prised in Serbian media.

I am just curious. Why is kidnapping of unarmed UN soldiers so much worse
then killing 2000 serbian civilians a few months ago? After all – UN
soldiers ended unharmed and free and serbian civilians ended 2m below the
surface. Serbs did not declare war on the UN. It was other way around. UN
declared war on Serbs (with enormous influence of USA) and Serbs took UN
soldiers as a shield. I admit – it was shooting in a foot. Still, things
have to be put in perspective. Bosnian serbs were betrayed in so many
agreements with west that only lives of west soldiers were good guaranty for
them. At the end, it is the fact. List of frauds made by west in last 10
years is to long.

For example – phrase “unconvincing people” include a French journalist who
won a case in Paris, claiming that those responsible for one of massacres
were muslims. And unreliable witnesses was president of France, minister of
foreign affairs and a few French generals, claiming that they new from the
beginning that muslims were responsible, but west simply wanted to lend a
few bombs on Serbs.
As examples of “inconclusive” investigations:
…The Russian dissenter is Col. Andrei Demurenko, an artillery officer who
commands the small Russian UN. peacekeeping force in Sarajevo. On August 29,
Demurenko announced that the probability of hitting a street less than
thirty feet wide from one or two miles away, "the distance to the nearest
Serb artillery positions," was "one to one million." Noting that no U.N.
artillery observers heard the distinctive high-pitched whistle of a mortar
shell prior to the detonation, he said he believed the fatal round had been
"fired from some technical weaponry other than mortars."
…The Canadian specialist, an officer with extensive service in Bosnia, said
in a telephone interview that the UN. report, which he'd seen, was "highly
suspect." He cited anomalies with the fuse" of the mortar shell recovered
from the marketplace crater. Unlike the fuses of four other shells that hit
Sarajevo that morning, this one, he said, "had not come from a mortar tube
at all." He added that he and fellow Canadian officers in Bosnia were
"convinced that the Muslim government dropped both the February 5, 1994, and
the August 28, 1995, mortar shells on the Sarajevo markets."…
On the other hand, this was very convincing and that report is only against
Serbs:
…General Smith's report was based on three hours of on-the-spot
investigation and covered only one page…

No. But there is also no any doubt about identity identities of the Croats
who massacred over 150 men after dragging them from their hospital beds,
before fall of Vukovar. I do not say that crime is justified by other crime,
only that things need to be put in perspective.
>Is there any doubt as to the Serbian identity of the

This is a kind of writing that i call half-writing. There were no
concentration camps in Bosnia. Words "concentration camps" used in this
manner imply that they were death camps in a way that Nazi Germany invented.
No, they were plain prisoner camps or even only collection centers for
refugees as in a case of famous "THE EMACIATED MAN BEHIND THE BARBED WIRE"
film:
...
The photo has now been condemned by an expert witness to the UN War Crimes
Tribunal at The Hague, German journalist Thomas Deichmann who says that the
image of the emaciated Bosnian Muslim was created by camera angles and
editing and insists that the image is misleading and has fooled the world.
According to Deichmann, who has visited the Trnopolje camp numerous times,
said that the man was actually in a refugee camp from which he was free to
leave at any time. Deichmann further stated that: (1) there was no barbed
wire fence surrounding the Trnopolje camp, (2) the camp was a collection
center for refugees, not a prison, and (3) the refugees in the picture were
not inside a barbed wire enclosure. The barbed wire surrounded the news team
who were filming from inside a small enclosure next to the camp.

No, but it was not reserved for Serbian side. Muslim's snipers were killing
people on Sarajevo streets equaly deadly as Serb's snipers:
...
Objective observers in Sarajevo frequently describe the abhorrent activity
of snipers from both sides, but suspicions persist that the Muslims have
murdered their own people when the potential existed for instant
newsworthiness.
...
Anti-sniping activities conducted by the UN Protection Force (UNPROFOR) in
Sarajevo, in fact, constitute quite impressive operations. Teams which
perform this duty receive exceptional training from their armies and possess
state-of-the-art optical aids and equipment. Employing these capabilities,
the French recently decided to test over three years' worth of UN hunches
pertaining to this issue. Their investigation "definitively" (their words)
established the validity of UN suppositions that "some gunfire came from
(Bosniac) Government soldiers deliberately shooting at their own
civilians."8

Serbia was not allowed to do it peacefully. If you know so well situation in
former Yu then you will recall the famous documentary made by military spy
infiltrated in, now ruling party in Croatia - HDZ, before the war started.
Martin Spegelj, high-ranking official of that party described very clearly
they tactic for gaining independence of Yugoslavia. “You will find the name
of army officer. You will go to his flat. You will knock on his door and
when he opens you will kill him. Then you will enter his flat and kill
everybody inside, women, children - everybody. If officer is on duty, you
will take his family as hostages, demanding that he must go out of barrack.
Then he will kill him and his family.” Remember – it was a way before war
started. This film was shown on Serbian TV and after seeing it, we never
believed a word Croats said about peaceful means and other bullshit. Croats
tried to make us to believe that film was false, but few months ago I saw
them on TV talking that it was genuine.
The same applies to Bosnia. I heard an interview with Silajdzic (Izedbegovic
ministry at the time) a year ago, claiming that real war in Bosnia started
when his forces attacked Serbian police station on Ilidza (Serbian part of
Sarajevo). Besides – who broke Lisbon agreement? Serbs or muslims? Who
refused to talk with Miloshevich before war started?
Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia would have never got international recognition
without armed resistance. Theirs only interest in these wars was to have as
much dead people as possible. Without wars, they would have being forced to
negotiate with Serbs and they were without real arguments for that.

It is a picture made up by western propaganda agencies. Balkan wars started
by populist Nationalist-Socialist
politicians from Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia, in order to deny Serbs the
opportunity for self-determination. Also, Balkan wars were designed to
provoke disintegration of Yugoslavia and step-by-step changing of
international order.
That's just the point. I see no differnce between either one. I necessarily
equovocate them all, and tolerate no excuses for any of them. The problem with
you, Ferg, and Yuri is that you guys have picked sides and can't see beyond the
blinders of ethnic and political apologia.

So then by this same moral standard, bombing Yugoslavia was OK. After all, one
could rationalize their side (the Kosovar Albanians) as the victims and create
an excuse for killing their opponents. Those Bosnian Muslims had it coming at
Srebrenica. After all, look at what some of their grandparents might have done
during WWII. Those Krajina Serbs deserved it. Didn't their ethnic brethren
shell Vukovar? Belgrade deserves bombing because of Milosevic. Those UN
soldiers deserved to be kidnapped and terrorized. After all, isn't my group
history's victims? All I see in these NGs is excuse making among the most
favored killers of the partisans. It's disgusting. I haven't seen this type of
pathological dishonesty since the propaganda campaigns of WWI.

How incredulous. This from a guy who calls me a liar after accusing me of
never considering the Bosnian Muslims as possible marketplace bombers, even
though I clearly did. Then you have the gall to come back and dare to ask
for an apology after I compared your opinion-based "evidence" to the exact
methodology of holocaust revisionists, which you wrongly accused me of
calling you of a member or follower of the Institute for Historical Review.

Attack you? Here, let's go over some of your previous quotes, so you won't

LIST OF YURI'S
AD HOMINEMS,
INSULTS, AND

"You're disgusting."
"Listen, punk..."
"Get lost, idiot."

etc., etc., etc.
You are the last person, next to maybe Ferg, with any credibility to be
coming into these NGs and asking another to apologize to you for "attacks."
Of course, these ad hominem-based posts also serve as excellent avoidances
on your part, perfectly understandable considering the ethnic nationalists
you support. If I were a ethnic partisan I wouldn't want to have to explain
away Srebrenica, either.
Tony,
It is wrong to attack Yuri. He has got that rare ability of punctuating
every sentence with a personal insult. Those insults lack imagination, I
know, but they provide visual markers that help the reader quickly localise
his touching attempts at expressing a thought. Furthermore, Yuri tries very
hard to make his logorrhea understandable by us feeble minded zombies. The
fact that he occasionnaly succeeds at expressing an idea should also be put
to his credit: he then provides us with a unique insight to the thought
pattern of the nationalist Serbian thugs that have set fire to the Balkans.
The fact that he is not Serbian himself is encouraging for the future of
Serbia, though.

I don't know when you commie scum are going to wake up to
the fact that you've gone down the gurgler and your putrid
politics are dead and buried.
We didn't defeat the other Nazis (the Cherman ones) by
treating honourably with them, we tricked them and deceived
them and bombed the bejeesus out of the bastards until they
were kaputt.
The same thing has happened to the Serbs.
They are dogs that deserved every little bomb they got, and
they demonstrate this daily with their support for the man
who started all these wars in the Balkans and is about to
start another with Montenegro - Slobodan the Loser.
Normal people don't give a flying fuck about it being
"unfair" for Serb civilans to be labelled "bad" and bombed.
The point is it is their leaders that are committing the war
crimes and people get the leaders they deserve, so the Serbs
are ultimately just as bad as their war-criminal leaders and
therefore must suffer the consequences until they are
utterly defeated and renounce attacking their neighbours for
good.
Look at Croatia : They play by the rules, arrest war
criminals, and they are a thriving and successful country.
Just like Bosnia. And then there's Serbia : A country where
war criminals don't just go free, they are actively feted as
heroes.
Nope. I'm sorry. I'll not shed a tear for any Serb civilian
casualty for as long as they remain the enemy. And as long
as they commit horrible crimes and refuse to play by the
rules of civilisation, the Serbs will remain the nationalist
Socialist enemy that they are.
Even the Serbs must know that they have no future in this
world with their politics of hatred and cowardly killing.
"Normal people" despise racist attacks such as those. The Serbs have
suffered more than their share from the politics of their leadership. They
are deceited and have been polluted by a decade of intensive nationalist
propaganda. They will get rid of the thugs that represent them and hand
them to international justice. If not today, in a few months time.
"Normal people" feel sorrow for the Serb civilians that were killed under
Nato bombs and for those that are being killed by the very same people that
their army has savagely suppressed.
"Normal people" want to see Serbia turn the page, reject its suicidal
nationalist ideology and take its legitimate place in the international
community.
Your racist declarations are contributing at making that prospect a little
more difficult.

Did I say anything in favor of that action done by Bosnian Serbs? All your
rhetoric is aimed at wrong address. If you read that part of my post you
will find only a question: “Why is kidnapping of unarmed UN soldiers so much
worse then killing 2000 serbian civilians a few months ago?” Do you see
difference between kidnapping and killing? All examples you made were based
on killing people. Nobody of professional serb-haters cares about 2000
killed civilians (not only Serbs) in YU and all of them cry about those UN
soldiers who were, by the way, alive and healthy.
Point of my post is again: Things have to be put in perspective. Too many
bad and laying words were written about Serbs in general and I do not feel
need to add a few more. If you pull out actions of one side in a conflict
and criticize it for years you would have distorted picture. There is blame
on Serbian side, but not exclusively. There were 3 more parties: bosnian
muslims, croats and west. All 3 have their part in this nightmare and I
personally see the west as the biggest felon of all, if I may say so. Reason
is; they were able to prevent all this, but they made things even worse
instead. It has nothing to do with “history’s victims”, or “excuse making”,
only with perspective (not propaganda).
There is no excuse for killing people, but just read posts here. They cry
for more killing. If you give to one side right to do certain things, as
west did it regarding croats and muslims, then you have to do the same to
other side, or to nobody.
To be honest, I did not really expect to get at least serial denial
regarding all things I wrote. I just hoped. What I have here is a war
pamphlet “join the army”. Ok, we can play this way. Just to remind you,
Republika Srbska exists, despite of all efforts of you comrades. Kosmet is
lost, but just temporarily. If Serbia had waited 100 years to regain it, it
will be able to wait 100 more. Therefore, we have right now long lasting
peace on the Balkans.
As for your remark: “…Look at Croatia : They play by the rules, arrest war
criminals, and they are a thriving and successful country. Just like Bosnia.
And then there's Serbia : A country where war criminals don't just go free,
they are actively feted as heroes…”, I have relatives in Croatia and know
all about your “pleasure dome” and war criminals. You are playing by the
rules only because you have that threat with sanctions over your head, and
you carefully choose what rule to use. Fair elections, maybe? Or arm
smuggling? Or private property? Or free media? Or language invention? Do you
remember Zagreb’s mayor? Or… just name it.

It is very interesting switch of history. The only national-socialists I
know on Balkan Peninsula were Ustashe. Regarding horrible crimes, I do not
see any difference between Croats, Serbs and muslims. As for rules of
civilization, what civilization? Western, maybe? Those who destroyed
refineries and poured uranium bombs? Very good role model, I must say. Rules
of power, this is a better description.

And I've run into countless number of apologists who say the same thing
(everybody criticizes my group, so I'm not going to) while denying their
side has ever done anything wrong, laying the blame on the others, or
even claiming that all of their opponents deaths were really
self-inflicted. I've run into Serb apologists who think that Srebrenica
was perpetrated by fundamentalist Muslims, and Croat apologists who say
that the Serbs willingly left the Krajina during Operation Storm.
There's no perspective in any of this. That's delusion. When you start
countering the other side with rationalizations for yours (after all,
isn't bombing and killing 2,000 Serbs any worse than the thousands of
Albanians who were killed and hundreds of thousands who were kicked out
of Kosovo?), that's not putting things into perspective, but exculpating
the most favored group of the apologist.

Yes, the UN troops were there, unarmed, to try to keep the
peace.
The Serbs didn't want peace.
They still don't want peace, that's why they're about to
start their fifth war against Montenegro this time.
So, when the Serbs make it clear they don't want peace, and
they attack western peacekeepers, they are saying loud an
clear "WE ARE THE ENEMY, COME AND GET US".
So that's what NATO did. Any civilian casualties are a
direct result of Serb action, and only Serbia can be blamed
for starting these wars.

Well, Serbia lost each of these wars they started. And many
UN troops were killed by them anyway - especially the French
suffered. If you don't want casualties, don't start wars,
and don't expect the people you make enemies of to be sorry
for your casualties caused by your own despicable
nationalist socialist policies.

Unfortunately, free media writes words and tells stories.
If the Serbs happen to give inspiration to bad words and bad
stories, this is not the fault of the media, but it is the
fault of the Serbs with their policies of deliberate murder
and torture and displacement of unarmed civilians.

Well, this is why the Serbs and their ex-commie friends are
our enemies.
You see US as the worst felons in the Balkan wars started by
YOU? Please! Tell me you're joking!
> Reason

So, Serbia starts some wars, the west sends some token
peace-keeping forces in, the Serbs attack the peace-keepers
and refuse to come to a peaceful political solution, but it
is the west's fault for making things worse?

Yes, Serbia lost the propaganda war as well.
It's easy to win a propaganda war when you are the GOOD
GUYS. Try it next time.
> There is no excuse for killing people, but just read posts

THERE IS. When the nazis from Belgrade come into your
country and start murdering the children and raping the
women, there is EVERY excuse for rising up against them and
KILLING them.
When the Nazis from Belgrade do this same thing for 10
years, it is fair for the west to intervene and drop bombs
on the Serb Nazi criminals.
No, you should add perspective and point out that 80,000
serbs fled during Operation storm, a croatian military
offensive to retake land illegally occupied by the Serbs and
which only lasted less than three weeks.
Compare that with the deliberate policy of concentrating
Croats in camps for four years just over the border and the
eviction of about 400,000 of them by the Serbs during a
concerted and long-term campaign of ethnic-cleansing.
The point is, for every warcrime committed by the Bosnians
or the Kosovars, or the Croats, there are 10 or 20 warcrimes
committed by the Serbs. That is their policy and it is their
way and that is why their only friends are those other
golbal misfits - the Russians.
All these nationalist warmongers poisonning their frustrated people with
pseudo -historical and pseudo-ethnological myths are directly responsible
for the current mess. The answer to nationalist agressivity is not an
opposite nationalist agressivity. A firm stand for mutual respect,
pluralism and tolerance is the answer.
That stand may need to be strong, faithful to the premises that led WWII
allies to build the United Nations on the foundations of their war
against nazism and fascism, the extreme forms of nationalism of the time.
The UN is not neutral towards bellicist nationalism: the UN is a concept
and an organisation designed "to ensure, by the acceptance of principles
and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save
in the common interest." It is good that it is currently fighting that
battle, despite its errors, despite undue latencies, despite powerful
manoeuvres aiming at emasculating it and parallel manoeuvres aiming at
instrumentising it. It needs everyone's support. It needs citizens
scrutinity. It commands universal respect. It needs more force, as today's
situation in Kosovo unfortunately shows once again. And it also needs
constructive criticism.

By the UN's count, over a quarter million Serbs were ethnically cleansed
from the Krajina. These people were not illegally occupying anything,
and had claims there going back centuries. The reason why the campaign
lasted three weeks (killing over a thousand Serb civilians, by the way)
was because there was absolutely no JNA protection, which discounts this
myth that the Krajina was being illegally occupied.

As opposed to quick campaign of ethnic cleansing? So, if I break into
your house and kick you out in 10 minutes, that's OK, but if I break in
and hang around for awhile before kicking you out then that's
deliberate.

I'm not so sure about that. It's tough to look at the conduct of the
Croats this past decade and see anything worse than what Milosevic has
done with Serbia. The only difference was that the Croats were smart
enough to ally themselves with the US so when your guys went on your
campaign of terror you could make sure no one at NATO would lose their
temper and bomb Zagreb.
Huh? _Some_ civilian casualties in Kosovo are certainly a direct result of
Serb action
(or rather Yugoslav action, since not all VJ, MUP and paras were of Serb
nationality), namely those who were killed by Yugoslav forces and
irregulars. Some casualties in Kosovo are also very likely an _indirect_
result of "Serb action", namely those reffered by NATO as collateral damage.
As for Serbia proper, civilian casualties can only be an _indirect_ result
of "Serb action" there were no Yugoslav citizens flying NATO aircraft, as it
is well known. And of course _all_ sides _can_ be liable for certain
deaths. There is no such thing as preemted innocence or guilt! As a matter
of fact the principle of _proportionality_ is the basis of all legal
systems, let us all hope we see it served in this case! But most of all : it
is not up to you to decide who's guilty and who's not - leave that to the
professionals from the IWCT.
