The Speaker of the Serb Krajina assembly, Rajko Lezajic, has told a
press conference in Belgrade that the order to evacuate the population of
Krajina was issued by Krajina leader Milan Martic supported by the commander of Krajina Serb army, General Mile Mrksic.
_____________________________-

So really, FormerLib, do you want to see justice for the Serb victims through the indictments of Martic and Mrksic for the forced evacuation of the Krajina Serbs (according to the testimony of the leader of the Krajina Serb parliament, RSK minister of the interior, Radio Belgrade, etc)?

I thought you were over the age of 8.

I write to the level of my audience. Since I'm writing to you, I've had to downgrade heavily.

And I do hope the criminal Gotovina has a nice view from his cell. Really, that would be nice.

...do you want to see justice for the Serb victims....for the forced evacuation of the Krajina Serbs...?

Let's start with the dogs who murdered them as they fled (starting with top dog, Gotovina) before we worry about the ones who yelled "Run for it! The Ustashi are coming!"

Particularly when you consider that the Ustashi were coming.

FormerLib, you run from the issues, and rightly so. I think this debate has run dry because, quite honestly, you cannot address the issues (including the incredibly damning testimony of RSK leaders Rajko Lezajic , Milivoj Vojinovic, Milan Ivanic, Milan Trbulin). I will, accordingly, declare victory at this point since all that you are left with is either namecalling, or avoidance of the issues (responsibility of Martic and Mrksic).

A piece of advice to you from George Eliot:

"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt ."

Ciao.

"In mid-September 1993 United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) soldiers from 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (2PPCLI) advanced into the disputed Medak Pocket in southern Croatian with orders to implement the latest cease-fire between Croatian Army troops and Serb irregular forces. 2PPCLI were reinforced with two mechanized companies of French troops. The Canadians, well schooled in the delicate art of “peacekeeping”, discovered their negotiation skills and strict impartiality were not immediately required the Medak Pocket. Instead they found themselves calling upon their primary war-fighting skills when Croatian Army units opened fire with machine-guns, mortars and artillery in an effort to stop the Canadian advance. To complete their assigned mission the Patricia’s were required to threaten the use of, and ultimately use, deadly force against Croatian units. However, the true test of military professionalism and discipline came after the smoke cleared, the Croatians backed down and the Canadians immediately reverted to their role as impartial peacekeepers in their dealings with individuals who only moments before had attempted to kill them.".

The crimes against Serb civilians Canadians witnessed are on record. Many Canadians soldiers suffered from PTSS because of what they have seen.

That is what Ezekiel wants to hide with circular logic argumentation.

Too late, you've proved yourself a fool and, as noted in the post above, it is you who have to run from the facts as noted by the Canadians.

And Ante approaches having to face justice. It's a good thing.

That usually occurs when the Ustashi think they've "cleansed" all the Serbs from an area, but this is not the case.

You have lost and Ante's looking for the soap.

Wow, now you are accusing Gotovina of responsibility for Medak? Not even Carla del Ponte has done that. Pretty tough to do given that Gotovina was not involved in that operation at all.

Glad to see you've conceded that Martic and Mrksic are responsible for the exodus after Storm, and are now moving on to Medak Pocket. Unfortunately for you there is nothing to discuss with respect to Gotovina and Medak.

Keep trying though, fellas.

Perhaps we should rely on James Jatras, Peter Maher, and other members of the Milosevic "Insane Clown Posse"? Or how about the leaders of the Republika Srpska Krajina like Rajko Lezajic , Milivoj Vojinovic, Milan Ivanic, Milan Trbulin, who all testify that Martic and Mrksic ordered the evacuation? Or are these Serb leaders also "unreliable NGO NATO NAZI Ustashi Vatican" puppets?

"Jews exterminated themselves in death camps, Serbs ethnicaly cleamsed themselves"...
Sarcasm

Real Stormfront man is talking from you!
Im off this topic!

Antisemitism and Antiserbism is just not my background, and spetialy not Croate generals who posed on TV with their right arm high in the air.

Yes, I'll take the word of a loyal American such as James Jatras over one such as you any day of the week.

They're certainly more credible than somebody who was personally involved in the ethnic cleansing of the Krajina Serbs. By your logic, whoever does not blame the victim (the Serbs) is part of the "Insane Clown Posse." Nice.

My question is why you won't take the word of loyal Serbs such as Rajko Lezajic , Milivoj Vojinovic, Milan Ivanic, Milan Trbulin, who all testify that Martic and Mrksic ordered the evacuation?

It seems to me that you are all too willing to accept the propaganda of Serbian fascists, but refuse to address the truthful testimony of other Serb leaders.

Maybe you weren't reading, child, but I just said that's exactly what I'd do once we have their sworn testimony from this murderous thug Gotovina's trial.

If you have a problem understanding any of that, you just let me know which words are confusing you and I'll try to find smaller ones, m'kay?

And why won't you address what they said in 1995? They are recorded as saying that Mrksic and Martic ordered the evacuation. Are you waiting and hoping that they change their story and lie to the Tribunal?

I'm hoping that they tell the Tribunal the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Having their testimony given under oath at The Hague only improves that chance (although they really don't like truths that exonorate Serbs there from what we've all seen).

Is is you, child, that fears they will do so and have their story change.

I see. So you won't address what they said, and instead will hope that they change their tune in The Hague.

Well argued.
