"whenever we 'request' Bosnian action on behalf of our concerns, the Bosnians comply with our wishes"

Here is a recent article that I found about supposed Bosnian govm't cooperation with the US. This "cooperation" with rooting out Islamists from Balkans is done only after US puts a squeeze on Bosnian govm't. You can read in it's entirety here. Bosnia rules to revoke citizenships

The Bosnian government is bringing to a close five months of work reviewing how some 1,500 people - most of them fighters who came to Bosnia from Muslim countries during the 1992-1995 war - gained Bosnian citizenship.

The review of these naturalized citizens coincides with the country's first-ever terrorism trial, which has sparked concerns that mujahideen who stayed on after the war here could be involved in a European terrorism cell.

The 1,500 naturalized Bosnian citizens were given until last week to provide all documents used to gain Bosnian citizenship between 1992-1996.

Though the results of the review have not been made public, ISN Security Watch has learned though a high-ranking police source close to the investigation that the review commission has already ruled to revoke the citizenship of 38 people, while a similar ruling is expected for 23 others in the coming days.

According to the police source, as many as 40 percent of the 1,500 naturalized citizens in question will lose their status and be deported to their countries of origin with no right to appeal. “Those people gained Bosnian citizenship by wartime regulations and there were major […] abuses. There have been several revisions of their citizenships, but there has never been the political will to act until the US embassy here and the international community started pressing the issue," the police source said.

"Misrepresenting Milosevic's failed race war as part of the War on Terror isn't going to get you anywhere outside of the small circle of true believers who were silly enough to fall for the lie in the first place."

Sorry but this is a twisting of my points. My point is specifically that Milosevic was "lesser evil" than KLA and Bosnian Jihadists in a long term. My predictions that we hear much more about Jihadi activities in Kosovo and Bosnia if the Islamic states will be de-jure created there.

And to add to my previous post, here is the 1995 post on Iranian guards being present in Bosnia since 1990's. Note the text in bold . Bosnian Muslim leadership promised to the US expel all foreign Muslim mujahedeen from the Bosnia by January 1996. 10 years later, they are still "expelling" them. That's how they "comply with our wishes" -:)))) And what these Mujaheedeen are doing now in Bosnia--having a pool party ?

As U.S. troops began arriving there were warnings they could be targeted by Iranian Revolutionary Guards who have been helping Bosnia's Moslem-led army. The Los Angeles Times reported that Washington regarded some 200 Iranian guards who have been training the Bosnian army and volunteers from other Islamic countries as a major threat. U.S. Defense Secretary William Perry said on Monday he had been assured by Bosnian Prime Minister Haris Silajdzic that all 2,000 foreign Moslem fighters would be removed within 30 days of the signing of the accord on December 14.

Perry said special precautions would be taken against possible attacks on U.S. troops from Islamic fundamentalists. Privately however U.S. officials feared the Bosnian government might find it hard to expel fighters from Iran, the country that did most to help Bosnia militarily and financially in its hour of need, the paper reported. The U.S. government fears Iran may use Bosnia as a venue for attacking American troops or facilities in retaliation for the tightening of U.S. sanctions against Tehran last spring and years of U.S. hostility towards it, the paper added.

And? What don't you understand about complying with American wishes? If only Serbia would be so prompt in regards to arresting ICTY indictees or trying the Serbian police responsible for the murder of the Bytyqi brothers, you might have had a leg to stand upon.

But you don't.

Milosevic was the bigger evil in the neighborhood as far as American interests are concerned, which is why we acted and continue to act the way we do.

Just out of curiosity, is there anything differentiating your dire prediction from those we've heard regarding Bosnia since Dayton or Kosovo since 1999? Your chances of being the true Cassandra after a decade of wanna-be's isn't looking too good.

If you're looking to pursue non-American interests, find yourself a different country to prod. If you're looking to pursue American interests, you'd best get your facts straight first.
