No Croats were being killed in Serbia, nor were their churches and homes being burnt down. But Croatia didn't want any Serbs in Croatia so they initiated violence against the Serb population.
You are in one piece, obviously. When did you leave the town, and did Serbs barge into your home or did your family just pack up and leave to sit out the war?
You still haven't said whether your cousin was in the military, paramilitary or police? Are you avoiding the question because he was?
You never said when you left/how long you stayed after the war started.
Many of them are probably Serbs which is why access to identities and autopsy reports are unavailable to all but select members of the international community.
In a war, there is no such thing as an innocent civilian.
He supported one side or the other, or by being a coward, betrayed everyone that had relied upon him.
I am simply a third party that desires to learn from those who have factual information.
I wasn't rationalizing anything. I was merely noting that Bob Dole receives praise from various quarters for his work in the Balkans (he's a big hero to Samantha Power), and Bubba gets qualified praise.
The fact that she took his phrase and uses to push the claim of "genocide" in Bosnia is deceptive when the phrase was more for a civil war complication and much about the Muslim-Croat fighting, which the media downplayed.
Sure. When Slobo helped himself to $900 Million from the Yugoslav Central Bank before the wars started on behalf of the Serbian Republic.
According to Branicap/Yokozuna Slovenian companies, in the months before the war, were taking huge loans from Yugoslavia, squirreling away the money in Austrian and German banks, then they declared bankruptcy. Then the war started and this money was never paid back. Slovenia likely knew it was getting out, so while it still could take money from Yugoslavia, it did so, never intending to pay that money back.
You are mistaken. It was $900 BILLION!
But this doesn't change the fact that Slobo took $900 Million from the Federal Treasury on behalf of SR Serbia in a brazen theft.
Blame evil Milosevic for that! And Manuel Noriega! And Emmanuel Goldstein!
I'm surprised you Croats and Croatia can't get your money back. You have more leverage with the international community than Serbia and could make make problems for Slovenia. I know Croatia was putting some kind of surcharge on Slovenian truckers traveling through Croatia to Bosnia for something (either retaliation or pollution concerns).
It is surprising that this article was posted on FrontPage Magazine, the home of the islamist fifth columnist Suleyman Ahmad (Stephen Schwartz), the basher of the "bonehead" Honorary Serb who posts on "that knuckledrgger website". But I think that Srdja Trifkovic also writes for FrontPage.
We may never know exactly what happened at Srebrenica at the end, because there are so many who don't want us to find out, lest it destroy the New World Order propganda points about "the worst massacre since WWII". However, it is quite clear that "Srebrenica" was not a one-sided "massacre", but a BATTLE that went on for several years.
muslim-occupied Srebrenica was not a "safe haven" for "refugee civilians". It was a base of operations for terrorist savages, who delighted in mutilation, cutting off heads, and burning people alive. The corrupt UN was complicit in this "Bosnian" islamist tactic, covering it over with the BIG LIE of the "refugee safe haven". Given what was happening around Srebrenica the Serbs were going to attack it, sooner or later. It was a military necessity.
Even ronly-bonly admitted that many of the muslim dead around Srebrenica were identified by the "Bosnian" army uniforms they wore! The idea of a big massacre of "only civilians", so often cited in the lamestream press, is a lie!!!! A bigger lie is that "the Serbs killed 200,000 muslims in Bosnia, and it was genocide!!!"
This big web of New World Order and islamist lies keeps the petty tyrant Paddy Ashdown in business, and maintains the jihadist and criminal base of operations that is islamist-dominated "Bosnia". Free Srpska!!!!
Samantha Power is an unqualified hack "journalist" posing as a "respected and honored" Harvard "professor" and "author"!!!! There are several others of her ilk in Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. As a Harvard alum, I am ashamed of them, and of that whole school!
Harvard President Larry Sommers should do something about the Kennedy School, once and for all. But since he is a clintonite, and under fire from fhe feminazis, I am not holding my breath until he does so.
The Western media, being dominated by socialists, communists, homosexuals and atheists should have taken a liking to Milosovic for being a socialist.
I think the Western media tends to paint good as bad and bad as good because their agenda is to take down Christian nations and whatever goodness they stand for, no matter what the means --- even if it means allying themselves with the Islamofacists. If you look very, very closely at the media, it is Christianity that they fear and hate the most.
You talking about Harry Truman?
