Now now. You're being tough on Hoplite.
He's priceless, really he is.
He introduced islamist eavesdroppers as evidence, who were trained by Iranian VEVAK, as solid proof of Bosnian Serb naughtiness at Srebrenica.
Now to you and me, VEVAK trained operatives suggest "suspicion" to say the least. But not to our very own Hoplite. Every word they said MUST be the TRUTH. let's not mention they wrote it down on kids maths books. They also forgot to put their name OR date too. But I'm quibbling.
And he's not even started, for he's also a big proponent of Erdemvoic.
A most interesting witness was he.
Insane, a liar under oath, an amnesiac, his superiors spent the Bosnian civil war bragging of their French Intel links, etc.
Yes, to you and me, that raises "QUESTIONS", but not to Hoplite, for Erdemovic is a witness from heaven and any doubts are not even contemplated.
And to finish it all, Hoplite is most taken with Doctor Ball's bedside manner.
To those not in the know, the good doc found some pieces of paper fluttering in the wind in a disused Albanian bunker/border post, he stuffed the papers into his pocket and then analysed them. To everyone in the world they are crap. To the esteemed doc and Hoplite they represent proof of evil Serb intentions.
Now, don't laugh, but when Doctor Ball testified against Milosevic a good few years later, he STILL didn't know what the Albanian guards had written as headings for the information they'd collected about displaced ethnic Albanians.
One of the headings was labelled "TOOL".
Yes.
TOOL.
Milosevic had to explain that as ole lazy bones doc couldn't be arsed to translate the Albanian headings. Yes, several years later and the good doc was so incompetent he'd yet to translate a single word.
A primary school kid would laugh it out of class, but not our very own Hoplite.
So.
GO STEADY ON HIM. HE'S PART OF THE FURNITURE.
If a person did their homework, the questions on the thread weren't difficult to understand or answer. "US Accused of Siding With 'Criminals and Jihadists' in Kosovo." Given the history of, information pertaining to, and facts, IMO, YES the U.S. is siding with criminals and Jihadists in Kosovo. My rational is, the U.S. can't have wars against terrorism going on in Afghanistan and Iraq, and God know where else, then hand Kosovo, the heartland of the Balkans over to Islamofacists, that have torched over 150 Christian Churches and historic monasteries. From the get go, it was the baseless Bill Clinton and Madeleine Not-So-Bright bomb Serbia into submission show. OK, the bombing ended years a go, but not the ethnic cleansing, which was supposedly the reasoning for beating Serbia up from 15 thousand feet, . So YES, a vote from the United States to make Kosovo independent, is pure hypocracy in motion.
Other then to appease Islam, there is no reason for NATO to be there, and moreover the U.S. meddle either. Matter of fact, the U.S. owes Serbia a profound apology and monies for damages rendered. Further, stay out of Serbia's internal affairs.
