There is no evidence to suggest that Srebrenica represents proof of a planned campaign of genocide. Rather, the murders there should be understood in the context of a complicated civil war, which occurred as three groups fought to gain control of parts of Bosnia. The abstraction of the event from the context of a bitter and brutal war is representative of the simplification of the entire Yugoslav conflict.

To those (especially Serbs) who believe that treachery does pay and that capitulation and selling out General Mladic will yield something positive and good for their people, few words of wisdom.

“The [international] strategic objective here is stability in Serbia. Things will be wobbly in the short-term. But in the long-term it will be better for a stable Serbia."

and the “stability” should be achieved in the following way:

The first ultimatum concerns Mladic.
Serbia is also being told that it has lost Kosovo
"The expectation is that Montenegro will go independent,"

Braking up and destroying Serbia will be better for a stable Serbia. Yeah, riiight. It is good, though, to know what they are planing to do.

I'll say this, Mladic was no saint, but he was hardly any worse than the muslims he was up against. For some reason, Del Ponte and company are focusing almost exclusively on Serbia.

I wonder why this isn't seen more clearly as part of Islam's jihad against the West.

Mad Maddy Alldumb, the cleaning lady that Bill "Put some ice on that" Klintstone jumped up to Secretary of State, was an Albanian herself.

Anybody think that had anything to do with him deciding to jump in on the wrong side of that war?

And how come it's always "ethnic Albanian" and never "Mooselimb flotsam left over from the last time Islam invaded Europe?"

Using "Ethnic Albanian" instead of "Albanian mooselimbs" is as bad as using "insurgent" instead of "terrorist," and serves no purpose but to disguise the fact that here, too, the media and the authorities are afraid to speak the truth about the Mohammedans.

I know this went back and forth for a few days but I thought the final outcome was that Mladic was arrested by British SAS in Romania.

Sheesh the is hard to follow.

Even in that case Mladic exercised command responsibility for the troops who did kill civilians at Srebrenica, and also kidnapped international observers and held them hostage.
