BELGRADE, Serbia-Montenegro - A Socialist Party aide of Slobodan Milosevic said Saturday that the ex-president was defiant just before his death.
"He told me, 'Don't you worry: They will not destroy me or break me; I shall defeat them all,'" said Milorad Vucelic of the Socialist Party, recounting a phone conversation with Milosevic late Friday. "But it was obvious he was very ill."
Milosevic, who was found dead Saturday in his cell at the Netherlands-based war crimes court near The Hague, was daily in contact with Socialist party officials in Belgrade as he carried out his own defense before the U.N. tribunal.
Vucelic said Milosevic was in "a good mood" on Friday but would not discuss his illness.
"We were supposed to talk more today but when he didn't call, I was a little worried," Vucelic added. "Then I found out what had happened."
Vucelic spoke at the Socialist Party headquarters in Belgrade, where flags hung at half-staff and a huge photo of Milosevic was on display, adorned with a black cloth.
During their phone conversation, Vucelic said Milosevic had been upbeat and satisfied with how his defense case was coming along.

"I drank what?"
I was about to post the same thing. :)
Nice to know I'm not the only sick mind around here. :)
RIP Slobo.
'That coumadin was especially refreshing today'
His true last words...."I see a light at the end of a dark tunnel, it's hot, getting hotter....AAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHH!"
Probably one of the more pathetic aspects of FR is that there are a (few) people to whom this clown is a hero.
I don't think I'd call the guy a hero and there probably is a place for him in Hell, HOWEVER, I still don't get a warm fuzzy from anything Clinton, Albright, and Wesley Clark were involved in. It didn't escape my attention that Kosovo has elected an alleged war criminal.
Hopefully it IS just you.
Truly.
And as for those who would consign him to the lower regions:
Book of Matthew, KJV 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2.)In 1999,and in direct support of Islamic Terrorists the U.S./NATO bomb Christian Serbs defending their homeland.
3.)Two Years later Islamic Terrorists fly planes into U.S. buildings on 911, to show their gratitude.
Not to mention the Madrid and London and Bali Bombings. The beheading of Daniel Pearl, Nicholas Berg, and murder of Tom Fox and others, all brought to you by Islamic Terror.
Why is it that only the West/U.S. and Israel can defend themsleves against Islamic Terror and Eastern European Christian Nations cannot?
Appeasers and Ignorant Flames up... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Slobo was a Yugoslav commie who inherited what was left of the anti-Soviet Tito Communist regieme. They say Clinton had no foreign policy, but I think his came from the 1970's.
Clinton practiced 1970's Soviet foreign policy embracing Arafat and the PLO, Gerry Adams and the IRA and hating Yugoslavia. Maybe Clinton gave them the punishment the Soviets weren't able to during the "Cold War."
Well, after four hours plus and nearly 400 hits, the Admin Moderator pulled my thread... So we start again...
I have more of The New York Slimes Editions on my FR Homepage and my Archives Page
"I'm not scared of Hell. I'll finally get to meet my hero, Joe Stalin!"
"The real murderer is..."
"Aaaaackarrrrrgh!"
"I don't want some idiot at my funeral asking, 'Can you hear me now?'"
If this guy was so great how come he lost four wars and drove his country into bankruptcy?
I thought his last words would be "Don't worry about me, I am safe in a cell where nobody can touch me..er.hey, where is my heart medication?"
enemy of islam bump
Consigning him to the pit of hell is an extremely safe proposition. Dante put such types into the boiling waters. Indeed, it would be easier to win a megajackpot than to find him in any other location.
