Infidels practicing Al Taqiyya to cover their Clymers!!
Already posted here.http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1151866/posts Another poster states that Paddy Ashdown would fire any Serb that failed to agree with him.
When I was in Bosnia in 1995, prior to the ratification of the Dayton Accords, I saw clear evidence of atrocities. These includes atrocities by Serbs against Croats and Bosniacs, Croats against Bosniacs, and Serbs, and Bosniacs against Croats. I saw no evidence of atrocities by Bosniacs against Serbs, but I have no doubt that they occurred. The Serbs, being better equipped and more competently led, were far more efficient in their efforts. No side suffered from lack of trying.
((((ping)))) we need some truth on this board!
Does Michael Savage know Serbians killed thousands of Bosnians???
You wrote the truth - the NATO overlord of Bosnia made the ruling Serbs say what the West wants to hear or the Serbs would be starved into submission. The Serbs WILL be made to wear the mark of the Beast or starve to death.
Thank you for confirming that all sides commited atrocities against each other. Certain posters on these threads seem to believe that only one side was the aggressor while the others were innocent victims. As you say the serbs were better equiped and from this the natural conclusion would be that the better equiped party would be more efficient as you stated.
Call me harsh, but it sounds to me like the Serbs were involved in the War on Islamic Terror long before we were.
And they were doing it right.
(I should watch myself - the last time I posted on FR when I was drunk, I got BANNED for excessive brutality! LOL)
Before we damn the Serbs, we should remember that Serbia was the FIRST country to recognize the United States when we declared our independence from Great Britain.
It's a shame. Really.
I thought it was Morocco?
Interesting that this news is released only a few days after Putin denounced the Democrats for NATO's non-sanctioned action in Yugoslavia.
??????????
Serbia had not been a country for over 300 years at the time of the American Revolution. After some uprisings in the early 19th Century, the Ottomans gave the Serbs a degree of autonomy, but Serbia did not gain full and internationally recognized independence until the Congress of Berlin in 1878(?). USA-Serbian diplomatic recognition and relations date from shortly after that time. You were off by about 100 years, but no problem, in Balkans-time that's like yesterday.
Call me harsh, but it sounds to me like the Serbs were involved in the War on Islamic Terror long before we were.
And they were also involved with the little War on Slovenian Catholic Terror plus the big War on Croatian Catholic Terror. Lots of fighting going on in the Balkans during the 1990s and Serbia was in the middle of most of it--whether it be with other Christians or with Muslims. Trying to transform the fighting accompanying the break-up of the former Yugoslavia into a Serbian "War on Islamic Terror" is a favored tactic of Serb apologists, but it does not square with the facts.
The Serbs fought other Christians (Croats & Slovenes). The threatening Serb posture toward Macedonia (primarily Christian) in 1993 caused the very first U.S. troop deployment into the Balkans--an American battalion positioned on Macedonia's northern border with Serbia to serve as a "trip-wire" or deterrent to Milosevic. In the Serbian province of Vojodina, ethnic attacks"aginst Christian minorities are escalating.
Then, even when the Serb opponents are Mulsim (Bosniacs) or majority Muslim (Albanians), the nature of those conflicts was primarily nationalistic, not religious. The Kosovo conflict included sizable numbers of Christian Albanians, to include leaders, and reflects a long-running Kosovar Albanian drive for independence from first the Muslim Ottoman Turks and later the Orthodox Serbs.
And of course, describing the murders of thousands of non-combatants as part of the "War on Islamic Terror" is gross distortion of the term--murder is a crime, not a war.
The Slovenian war was like 10 days of basically Slovenes attacking Yugoslav army border posts, cutting off electricity to Yugoslav barracks and blockading them. Some of the Yugoslav officers killed were Slovenes: a Yugoslav helicopter which Slovenians shot down to deliver bread to the starving and blockaded soldiers in the barracks killed two SLOVENE pilots.
The Croats were allied with the Muslims, at the beginning and the end, and were shipping IRANIAN arms and moving MUJAHEDEEN fighters through their territory into Bosnia. The amount of weapons sent from Iran was huge and Croats creamed off a large share for themselves.
Croats were enablers and harborers of Muslim terrorists.
Where and when exactly in 1995 were you? You seem to be unaware that the BOSNIAN ARMY 5th Corps participated in Operation Storm, AUGUST 1995, against Serbs in Croatia and northwestern Bosnia.
They committed atrocities against Croatian Serbs trying to flee the attacking Croats. They left a big mess of "road pizza" - Serbs killed, ambushed, mortared, etc. on the roads. In the villages, they even killed the animals - stacking the slaughtered sheep into pyramids. "Wonders" was a UN official in Croatia and witnessed the handywork of Bosniacs in Croatia.
