A BOSNIAN Serb commission investigating the 1995 Srebrenica massacre presented a list today with the names of more than 7000 Muslim victims, admitting for the first time the scale of Europe's worst atrocity since World War II.

"I am confirming that the number (of victims) is higher than 7000. I cannot reveal the exact figures. It is up to the government to do it," an official said on condition of anonymity.

In June the Bosnian Serb government admitted for the first time that Serb forces had committed the massacre and tried to cover up the crime, but it avoided giving a definite figure on the number of victims.

On September 10, 2001 I would have felt awful. Today I feel that it wasn't nearly enough.

[marty60]

Yes but hundreds of thousands of Muslims murdered under Saddamn is OK. Hypocrits.

3000 Americans were massacred by Muslims in one day. Not a peep from the Europeans.

[garyhope]

Well, it's a start.

I work with a former Soviet officer from Montenegro. He said if Abraham Lincoln had lost the Civil War, he would have been tried for war crimes just as Slobidan Milosevic is now...

one of my other Bosnian co-workers showed me pictures of his bombed out church, and told stories of parents willing to sell their children, because if someone had money--they could at least afford to feed the children and the babies wouldn't starve.

Well, it's a start.


Oh, come on now...


At 7,000 it's a damn good start!

[solo gringo]

SHOW ME THE BODIES.I DON'T BELIEVE THIS FOR A MINUTE THE MUSLIM'S ARE TRYING TO JUSTFY ALL THE MURDERS THEY HAVE COMMITED ON THE REST OF THE WORLD.

[Brilliant]

I would not go so far as to say that Clinton got us on the wrong side in that war. I can't see us supporting a Serbian government that was massacring Muslims. On the other hand, the result of our involvement is that now the Serbs are being massacred. I can't see why that is better.

We should have just stayed out.

"I am confirming that the number (of victims) is higher than 7000

Umm? (Scratches) (Yawns) Really? That right? (Yawns)

Gee, that's too bad. (Yawns again) (Scratches again)

Really, I'm all torn up about it. (Smirk)

[Luigi Vasellini]

Out of the supposed 7000 massacred, I'll bet 6000 were Islamists!!

[Condor51]

On the other hand, the result of our involvement is that now the Serbs are being massacred.

With all due respect, it's not just "now". The Muslims in Yugoslavia have been killing massacring, raping, burning churches, etc for hundreds of years. It pretty much stopped under communism & Tito, but resumed upon his death.

And when Slobo sent the Army in, it was only AFTER the mass murdering by the Muslims was already out of control. That fact was reported at the time, but then 'deep-sixed' when it became politically incorrect. I even remember watching a 60 Minutes piece on how the Christians were being slaughtered by their once peaceful Muslim next door neighbors.

An aside, I firmly belive that Klintoon backed the Muslims and terrorist KLA to APPEASE the terorists in general and Osama Bin Laden in particular.

"Hey, don't attack us, we're on YOUR side. Look we're arming the KLA and killing those evil Christian Serbs."

[VNam68]

When the Muslims were in control all those years (50?) how many Serbs did the Muslims kill? Do you think there was a little revenge there?

[Jane_N]

Actually according to the german journalist and war correspondent Franz Josef Hutsch (who prior to his becoming a journalist was a major in the German army) and in Bosnia 1995-1996, the Serbian government didn't have much influence over General Mladic who is said to be the one in charge of the Bosnian Serb offensive in Srebrenica. Hutsch testified at the Hague trial as a witness for the defense just a couple of days ago. In his testimony he stated that: he had interviewed Mladic in 1996 and that Mladic had told him "he received no orders from Belgrade or Mr. Milosevic regarding the attack and that he wouldn't have taken any."

[judywillow]

This is Slobodan Milosevic, an innocent man being tried by a so-called International Criminal Tribunal in the Hague, Holland, presumably for attempting to deport (or ethnically cleanse) albanian islammites from a Serbian province for barbaric conduct over a protracted period of time.

One assumes that the Dutch are practicing to try themselves for ethnic cleansing and genocide, since they themselves are now beginning to expell muslims from their own country, also for barbaric conduct over a protracted period of time.

One can only assume that barbaric conduct over protracted periods of time is a sort of an islammite specialty.

Now, one way to prevent yourself from being charged with hypocricy, is to start torturing people. For the same reason that nobody would ever charge Al Capone with shoplifting, nobody would ever charge somebody like Adolf Eichman or Joseph Mengele with hypocrisy.

Thus it comes out that a prosecutioni witness in this trial of Slobodan Milosevic stood up in the courtroom and stated that prosecutors had attempted to torture an accusation against Milosevic out of him.

Now, in an American courtroom, that would be the instantaneous end of the trial and the prosecutor's career (doing anything other than washing dishes in the courtroom cafeteria) right there.

Thus there should be a question of how Americans would want to be associated with this process even before you consider the fact that Americans soundly reject the entire premise of the ICC and have gone as far as to pass a law requiring the president of the United States to use military force to rescue any American being held by that "tribunal". In other words, Holland would face the armed might of the United States military were it to try to do to any American what it is doing to Milosevic.

It's a start. Ping me when it gets into the seven digit range, will ya?

[Little Ray]

Nope. That concept didn't even exist. The South would have been satisfied with its new status as an independent country. Abe Lincoln would just have been voted out of office. He might be murdered by an outraged constituent, but the CSA would not have wanted him.

All this idiotic "war crime" stuff stared with Nuremberg. That was a really stupid mistake. We should have shot any German leader we wanted to shoot "'cause we won and we felt like it." That would have solved the problem and prevented future issues.

[weshess]

God Bless the Serbians, maybe we should let them deal with Terrorism.

[monday]

"That would have solved the problem and prevented future issues."

Not that I like the ICC or whatever or think Milosovic is any worse than most other politicians but I think it is kind of cool that a$$ wipe politicians might have to think twice about throwing temper tantrums and abusing their power.
