Serbs Exit Blasting
Troops smash water source, leave Gorazde a shambles
By Roy Gutman. EUROPE CORRESPONDENT
Bonn, Germany - Bosnian Serb troops withdrew their heavy weapons
from the center of Gorazde yesterday, but burned down houses, blew up a
vital water treatment plant and fired mortars and sniper rifles as they
pulled out, the United Nations announced.
Yasushi Akashi, the chief UN representative in Bosnia, said the
Serbs had made "progress" but they were "not perfect" in implementing
the ceasefire they had signed with the UN after NATO threatened massive airstrikes.
...
oh another!
US Army analyst, Lt. Col John E. Sray wrote in his wartime diary that reporters Christiane Amanpour and Peter Jennings accepted Muslim propaganda as unvarnished truth, and sent anti-Serb reports from Bosnia.
Serbs were blamed for the atrocities in Vase Miskina street [breadline] and Markale [marketplace], where several dozen innocent civilians were killed. This led to sanctions against Serbia (from 1992 onward), and the bombing of Bosnian Serb military positions [in 1995]. Almost a decade later, then-UNPROFOR commander, UK General Michael Rose explained in his memoirs that Serbs were falsely accused, and that the fatal shells most likely came from Muslim positions in order to provoke a reaction of the West.
Concerning the 1993 massacre at the Sarajevo Markale marketplace, future US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright not only lied, but in her effort to deceive the world also declared the evidence “classified.” The evidence she tried to suppress has revealed beyond any doubt that Bosnian Muslims butchered their own people to win world sympathy. That lie has subsequently cost the Serbs thousands of innocent lives.
The Western public calmly ignores the fact that many Pulitzer laureates built their careers on Serb-slandering lies. Reporters of the British ITN, who shot the exclusive footage of “starving Bosniaks in Serb concentration camps,” did not confess until 1997 that the footage was a deception.
CNN’s star reporter Christiane Amanpour often reported from Pale, claiming to be “live from Sarajevo,” and solicited outrage against the “Chetniks who raped 50,000 Bosniak women.” No one in the West seemed interested for the epilogue of such stories, such as the case of one of the allegedly “raped” Bosniak women, who was given asylum in Switzerland and there gave birth to an African baby. Similar monstrous lies were repeated during the Kosovo war, again demonizing the Serbs.
Ah Living Marxist! Where would Serbs be without that trustworthy source...
The editors of that commie rag acknowledged on the stand during libel trial that the camps were God-awful places where people met horrible ends. But don't let that stop you!
Are these idiots still arguing these points? They have absolutely no grounds or standing points to argue these issues. It's all hearsay.....and rumor. The book the Dept of State put out was based only on reports from displaced Albanians. They were threatened, cajoled, and forced to give out false info. This is confirmed.....not rumor....
