"Oh yeah I have"
***** UH no you haven't, not that it matters in the first place. Whether you have or have not, is not even signficant. You argue like a 16 year old who lost his cell phone and is banished in his room for being a bad boy. :) It's pathetic on how you just go on and on with little or nothing to say and no facts that are straight forward.
Your flair for the dramatic:
"which is why you're backpedaling faster than a circus clown who's made a wrong turn into oncoming traffic."
"But like a Vegas high roller on a losing streak, you've exceeded your credit and dug yourself so deep you'll never get out of your hole."
****** I love your colorful descriptions. In any case, I've yet to see any backpedaling and this "hole" you keep speaking of. For me, it's a win win situation. The more you write the more I learn because of the research I do to confirm or, put your assertions where they belong, in the "deep 6 file". If you actually bring up some point that shows me wrong or mistaken, good, I learn something. It's a win situation either way.

A mass grave/exposed bodies site containing seven bodies has been reported for Vinarc.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/Kosovo/Story/0,2763,203202,00.html Quote from article:
"The latest incident follows a crackdown on Serb paramilitaries held responsible for atrocities against ethnic Albanians. K-For peacekeepers have arrested nine Serbs in the past three days. Four of the nine were taken into custody after French investigators exhumed 28 bodies from a burial site two miles west of Kosovska Mitrovica. The others were arrested by German and Dutch troops near the southern town of Orahovac, the UN war crimes tribunal said in the Hague. Serb irregulars are suspected of killing thousands of people during the 18-month campaign which ended in June when the Yugoslav president, Slobodan Milosevic, accepted a UN-backed peace plan .
French police said yesterday that the bodies of more than 20 ethnic Albanians had been exhumed from a mass grave in Vidomiric. Seven bodies were identified. All were among 23 ethnic Albanian men rounded up during a raid in Kosovska Mitrovica on April 14, three weeks after the start of the 78-day war, a statement said.
In the Netherlands, the war crimes tribunal spokesman, Paul Risley, said investigators from the UN court had provided some of the evidence leading to the arrests. The suspects would be tried by international authorities in Kosovo, he said."
The site was found following an investigation by the KFOR of killing of 23 men. Families reported the disappearances of men that lived in the same block of Miladin Popovic Street. After seeking witnesses and conducting an investigation, it is reported that four Serbs were arrested and the site was discovered.
The 23 men were supposedly killed on April 14, 1999 and buried in this "mass grave" with five other bodies, to include one woman. Something I find interesting is that they all lived on the same street. Seven bodies were identified on the spot based on the clothing. Now, the OSCE assisted in the collection of ante-mortem data from families of the missing. KFOR collected cloth samples and asked the families to come for identification purposes. On 4 October 1999, 18 bodies were identified and buried on 5 October 1999. So, it took from July to October to identify the remaining bodies and from clothing, no less.....Why did they wait for four months to identify all the bodies that lived on the same street?
Oh, by the way, during the funeral on 5 October, about 200 meters away from the graveyard, Kosovo Albanians attacked Kosovo Serbs in their cars killing one man and injuring ten others. Two of those buried included a former OSCE-KVM local staff.
In Vaganica/Vaganice KFOR detected 50 "FRESH" Graves in the vaganica graveyard. In this one, the villagers said to the OSCE that the UCK may have assisted in the collection and burial of those killed. ICTY worked on the site from September to October, with 37 identifications. Twelve were reported to have been shot or stabbed. At the end of October 17 bodies remained unidentified????
Granted, the paramilitaries conducted operations and were involved in criminal activities. The mass graves were, first of all, nowhere near what the original reports stated prior to the war. Secondly, villagers lied and distorted many reports as in some cases, they were forced by the UCK who exaggerated the numbers and dead. Many dead were the result of NATO bombing, Murdered by KLA members, and yes, some by Serbian paramilitaries. Mass graves were "in some cases" fabricated to look like the Serbs did it. It is not a clear case of mass graves of Albanian victims.
Talk to you soon.........
