When you talk about war in Bosnia you have to look at percentage of civilian casualties.All sides did commit war crimes , but Serbs commited 98 percent of all war crimes , they wiped out towns such as Bjeljina,Foca,Visegrad,Srebrenica and Vukovar in Croatia this were organized operations in which battalion size units were involved and thousands of civilians were killed if you look at Bosnian and Croatian side they commits war crimes too but this was done by individuals or small groups and they killed not more than ten people at the time . In Sarajevo during the war about 50 Serb civilians were killed by Bosnian Army soldiers in Srebrenica about 10 000 Bosnian Muslim civilians were killed by Serb soldiers in Bjeljina about 3 000 Bosnian Muslim civilians were killed by Serb Soldiers and in Vukovar about 3 000 Croatian civilians were killed by Serb soldiers . This are numbers that are coming out of International investigations for war crimes . Facts are out there , don't let religious hate make you lie to your self and others .

A Norwegian study which used neutral investigators, found that many Bosnian army soldiers had also been listed as civlian Muslim refugees - many Muslims left eastern Bosnia to join the army, for example. The Bosnian Muslims also had the same people on different civilian lists which were simply added up. This led to counting the same individuals 2 or 3 times, which inflated the civilian death toll, and wrongly counted many who died as soldiers as being civilians.

The study shrunk the oft repeated number of 250,000 dead to about 100,000 and it includes all three sides and military deaths too.

As for Vukovar, Tomislav Mercep and his goons started "arresting", torturing and killing Serbs in early May 1991. There are pictures of identified Serb, dead and floating in the Danube. I don't see any such of Croats.

Serbs claim thousands of Sarajevo Serbs were imprisoned illegally and put in torture/rape camps in the part of Sarajevo which the Muslims controlled. The Serbs did control some suburbs of Sarajevo, and the line of confrontation was near the middle of the city, not far from the Holiday Inn. The Muslims were launching attacks into the Serb held areas. Serbs were not simply in the mountains surrounding it, but they lived there and were being killed by Muslim snipers.

Bosnian Muslim army records reveal that Muslim paramilitaries were killing Serb civilians from the start:

BOSNIA Recently released secret documents reveal that in the first days of the war, Muslim paramilitary leaders murdered scores of Bosnian Serb civilians in Sarajevo.

The population of Serbs in Sarajevo is around 150,000 less than before the war, while the Muslims live there in greater numbers.

A study by the United States Information Agency found that Serbs lost more family members than any of the other ethnic groups in Bosnia. This statistic flies directly in the face of your insane accusation that "Serbs committed 98% of all war crimes."

You are full of crap as are your stupid accusations. Vukovar was fought over for 3 months by the Serbs and Croats. They are equally to blame. The Croats slaughtered plenty of Serbs as they retreated from Vukovar once they knew they lost that battle. Please stop vommitting up garbage that you know nothing about.

There were about 600 men that were summary executed by Serb paramilitary forces around Srebrenica after Serb forces moved in to liberate the area. There were plenty more Muslim men civilians killed as they fled to Tuzla with the Bosnian Muslim military columns. That's not a war crime. If civilians choose to move within military columns, they're legitimate targets.

I'm not even going to acknowledge the rest of your rediculous made up numbers because if the obvious is made up crap by you, I'm pretty certain that the less than obvious is also nothing but garbage.

vooch: I've been following your analysis and discussions about Srebrenica from the beginning and the latest information I have states that your description is pretty much on the money. Within the next few weeks I hope to be able to post a comprehensive analysis of just what really happened.
