AS I SEE IT Section of The Patriot-News,
As someone who has followed and written about the tragic civil war in the Balkans the March 12 headline, "Butcher" Milsoevic dies in jail,": prompted me to write yet another commentary giving the other side of the story.
I am no defender of Slobodan Milsoevic, who died under questionable circumstances, but in my opinion, he was nothing more than a two-bit dictator, and compared to Saddam Hussein, he was a piker. Unlike the treatment Milosevic received at The Hague, you can bet your bottom dollar that everything will be done to make sure Saddam gets a fair trial, and all the medical treatment he needs. Unlike Saddam, Milosevic was being tried in a trumpt-up International War Crimes Tribunal instead of in a court of his own people, whom he betrayed.
From the beginning of the war in Bosnia, the American people were not privy to many stories that would have given some balance to the conflict. In civil wars, all sides do terrible things; but in this war, the mainstream media misled the American people so as to present a favorable side for the Bosnian Muslims, while failing to report the meddling and bungling of U.S. foreign policy during the Clinton administration.
I remember the horrific pictures repeatedly shown on CNN of the two Muslim babies on a bus that had been "killed by a Serb sniper." I would never have known the truth had I not been watching France 2 TV where it showed the funeral of these innocent babies. Officiating at the funeral was a Serbian Orthodox priest. These were not Muslim babies killed by a Serb sniper, but Serbian babies killed by a Muslim sniper. However, for American consumption CNN had cropped the Serbian Orthodox priest from the video so that the American people would continue to believe that the Serbs were guilty.
If the "trusted" CNN lied about that, what else have they lied about?
The media lied about the supposed Trepca Mine atrocity, claiming Serbs had murdered 750 Kosovo Albanians, cut the bodies into little pieces and thrown them into the mine -- and the American people believed. It was Daniel Pearl, later murdered by al-Qaeda terrorists, who exposed the story as a hoax on the front page of The Wall Street Journal on Dec. 31, 1999.
The media also lied about the Markale market place massacre in Sarajevo, a massacre that was self-inflicted by Bosnian Muslim forces and for which NATO bombed the Serbian people. Yossef Bodansky, director of a congressional task force on terrorism, wrote in his book, Offensive in the Balkans, that the explosion at Sarajevo's main market place was a "special charge designed and built with help from Hizbullah experts," and that "This callous self-killing was designed to shock the West, especially sentimental and guillible Washington, to raise the level of Western sympathy for the Bosnian Muslims and further demonize the Serbs so that Western governments would be more supportive of Sarajevo's forcoming aggressive moves, and perhaps even finally intevene militarily."
ALL THE SUFFERING, bloodshed and death in Bosnia might have been averted had it not been for the meddling of our State Department. In The Lisbon Agreement of 1992, all three Bosnian leaders representing the Croats, Muslims and Serbs, endorsed the proposal that the republic be a confereration divided into three ethnic regions. The plan was scuttled when our American ambassador to Yugoslavia advised Alija Izetbegovic, representing the Muslim party of Bosnia, that "if he didn't like it, why sign it?" This doomed an agreement that even the same ambassador later said "wasn't so bad after all."
I leave you with the following quote: "This organized anti-Serb and pro-Muslim propaganda should cause anyone believing in democracy and free press serious concerns. It recalls Hitler's propaganda against the allies in World War II. Facts are twisted and, when convenient, disregarded." -- Yohanan Ramati, director of the Jerusalem Institute for Western Defense.
After he left the Senate he was a paid lobbyist for them, I think.
Does anybody but me think that Saudi money is behind most of the BAD stuff that goes in the world against Christians, Serbs, Jews and Americans??
Also, I think they have secretly funded abortion mills, abortion supporters and politicians who support abortions all over the Western world. THEY WANT US TO KILL OFF OUR FUTURE, OUR BABIES!!
I THINK THEY ARE BEHIND THE DRUG CARTELS.
I THINK THEY FUND THE ACLU IN CASES AGAINST CHRISTIANS.
I THINK THEY FUND JERKS LIKE THE CLINTONS.
I THINK THEY FUND ANY GROUP THAT IS FOR SO-CALLED ALTERNATIVE SEXUAL LIFESTYLES.
I THINK THEY FUND GROUPS THAT FOSTER HATRED BETWEEN THE USA AND RUSSIA( who has alot of oil and gas!! RUSSIANS COULD BE THE COMPETTION!).
I THINK THEY FUND THE NEA!!
IF ANYTHING OR GROUP WANTS TO DESTROY THE MORAL CLIMATE IN THE USA, THE SAUDIS FUND IT.
THE SAUDIS WANT TO TAKE US AS THEIR SLAVES.
IF WE COULD INVESTIGATE SOROS I THINK WE WOULD FIND SAUDI MONEY BACKING HIM UP.
but there is no doubt they bought a lot of propaganda from Beltway parasites on Bosnia and Kosovo.
Former Ustachi facist Franjo Tudjman, you might add.
We are lower than whale pop to muslims and I wold put nothing past them if they thought they could destroy us from within by funding all the things that could make us weaklings.
Drugs, immorality, abortion of innocents and family breakdown as in "alternative-sexuality" familiy life.
Saudis DO HAVE the money to push evil agendas don't they???
But he had his Viagra GIG!! He needed more money???? LOL!!
God Bless the author of this excellent article. She's a FReeper!
BTTT
Right -- we should have let the Serbs control Bosnia,Kosovo and Albania -- I'm a little unsure if the Serbs even tried to convert the Mussies -- they should have....
Lets face the facts:
Hitler WAS europe in 1940es.
Than Europe hated Jews.
Now they hate Serbs.
Why?
Hitler needed cohesive element for Germany and also most of Europe, and that was antisemitism, so people in Germany and Europe wouln`t pay notice to his sick aspirations.
Now, children of antisemites, children of nazis in Europe hate Serbs. Why?
They need cohesive element to avert public eyes from unimployment, recession, failiure of UE and ANTO and colaboraton with Islamists. Serbs are best scapegoats.
There are even more Americans with even more money than the Saudis who have been pushing those agendas.
Remember, the collapse of the soviet union was brought about by a United States under the leadership of a courageous statesman Ronald Reagan. The collective cowardly NATO leadership was "$#itless" at the thought of the soviets. Weighing in on the side of islamic expansion in the Balkans against the tiny Serb nation allowed both cowardly NATO and cowardly clintoon to regain a sense of "manhood".
Clinton lied and innocent people died.
CORRECTION!! Replace "regain" with "acquire". I doubt NATO leadership OR clintoon ever had a sense of manhood.
From the perspective of cold calculation, it was still only a couple of years after the fall of the USSR. The idea of a widespread war in SE Europe was problematic. Initially, NATO sat on the sidelines and gave the Euros a chance to deal with it. Lacking any real recent experience in matters of war, the Euros failed. NATO had to step in. Now, on the matter of what happened next, there is plenty of criticism to go around. A topic for another day ....
In the book "While America Sleeps" by Kagan and Kagan is a good analysis of the issue.
