When the EU took over in Bosnia last year, most American troops were pulled out, but President Bush left a small contingent of Americans to hunt down the remaining war crimnals--chief among them Mladic & his former boss--Radovan Karadzic; pictured together below:

Ratko, on the left, has won several awards as "The War Criminal Most Looking like a War Criminal" and Rad Karadzic, on the right, has a lifetime achievement award for "Best Hair--War Criminal Category."

Their most famous crime was Srebrenica, for which Serb authorities recently apologized.

The Bosnian Serb government released a report on Srebrenica last year which pretty much knocks the legs out from under those who either denied the massacre took place or tried to maintain it was just incident to combat ops:

Report Finds Massacre Planned

A SERB commission's final report on the 1995 Srebrenica massacre acknowledged that the mass murder of 7800 Muslim men and boys was planned, an international official said today. ... "The report itself admits and provides details of the plan and deliberate liquidation of thousands of Bosniaks by the Bosnian Serb forces," said Bernard Fassier, the deputy to Bosnia's top international administrator, Paddy Ashdown. Although Bosnian Serbs have long been blamed for the massacre, it was not until June - following the Srebrenica commission's preliminary report - that Serb officials acknowledged that their security forces carried out the slaughter. Mr. Fassier said the commission found that 7800 were killed after it compiled 34 lists of victims.

They will never get them and I hope they dont. They got their boss and he has made a monkey out of those goons at the Hague.

Selective justice based on ethnicity.

Both men are heroes! International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia is a corrupt political body there to justify the NATO crimes.

Srebrenica was defended by understaffed, undersupplied, and despondent Dutch peacekeepers, and a rag tag band of Muslim soldiers who often positioned themselves near the Dutch for protection.

Gee, not a single mention of the al Qaeda terrorists who regularly ventured into the countryside around Srebrenica, beheading innocent Serb civilians. Imagine that!

Srebrenica! Squawk! Srebrenica! Squawk! The Serbs deserve to be driven from their homes and have their churches burned because of Srebrenica! Squawk!

Yawn! Yeah, the "Serb commission" that was hand-picked by Paddy Pantsdown. Anyone who challenged the "findings" was removed by decree so the commission could reach a "unanimous" finding. Only the Soros stooges and those foolish enough to buy their Bravo Sierra were impressed by that! LOL!

You use the same bluster that Kerry election monitors use, mark.

Sorry, F-Lib, the Bush Administration is basing its Balkans policy on values, not the ethnicity of the victims or perps. That's why Secretary Rumsfeld has US special ops still hunting down Mladic and the other war criminals at large in Bosnia, both Serb & Bosniak. It just so happens that most of them are Serbs.

F-Lib, as to the Serb Commission that investigated Srebrenica and verified (once again!) that it was a planned and deliberate massacre of non-Serb prisoners and other noncombatants, they were appointed by the Bosnian Serb government.

The Bush Adminstration position of actively hunting down Mladic & Karadzic & their fellow war criminals and turning them over for trial is much easier to understand if you base your judgments on morality & law versus ethnicity & nationalism.

Deliberately killing noncombatants and massacring prisoners are crimes, even if the one pulling the trigger is a Serb and the victims are not. As odd as that notion may seem to you, its the way President Bush and his administration see it. And they are right--morally, legally, and in the pursuance of American interests.

They are accused of shelling Sarajevo and of using nearly 300 peacekeepers as human shields in the summer of 1995. The crimes charged against Mladic and Karadzic are so numerous and horrific that one cannot hope to comprehend them all. These include the murder of 2,500 civilians in the town of Kozarac, including the Muslim mayor publicly executed by having his throat cut, and the shooting of more than 150 Muslims in camps at Omarska and Keraterm after some prisoners had been forced to castrate each other, notes veteran British journalist Fred Bridgland.

Sounds like an aspiring Saddam but not nearly as accomplished. Maybe they were just giving the Muslims a taste of their own medicine.

Selective justice based on ethnicity.

Looks like it to me. We must remember that most of this was going on while Slick Willie was sucking up to the Muslim terrorists in search of a legacy and a Nobel Prize.

You have no clue what happened there. The only thing you know is what the media told you. So, get off your high horse Mr. Morality.

Sorry, SQUID. I gained a lot of clues when I was working the Balkans as a military officer and during my time stationed there. And there are an awful lot of other clues readily apparent to anyone who looks outside of the freeslobo & serbianna web-sites. Now, since even the Serbs who actually investigated Srebrenica have come to the conclusion that it was a mass murder committed by Serbs against non-Serbs and since even Serbia is now sending off the former "heroes" of Srebrenica for trial, isn't about time you yourself got a clue?

Photo: (August 27, 1994) Lt. General Wesley Clark meets and exchanges hats with Serbian war criminal Ratko Mladic. Clark accepted as gifts from Mladic a hat, bottle of brandy and a pistol inscribed in Cyrrilic.

Military officer and still no clue. You came as an outsider and did what you were told.

How about devoting those resources to answering another more pressing question like; Where is Osama?

... the Serb Commission that investigated Srebrenica and verified...

Again you refer to Paddy Pantsdown's batch of puppets? You might as well attempt to quote some more of Soros' propaganda masquerading as news from one of his NWO web page as quote anything that Paddy's boys have to say.

And we'll see what the Bush Administration has to say about it all once Bolton is confirmed, eh? LOL!
