Gregory Copley is not a credible source Boka - he blew any credibility he ever had by putting his name behind the attempt to deny Srebrenica, and GIS has become nothing but a conduit for Serbian disinformation as far as ex-Yugoslav issues go - simply put, until someone produces the cited BND report, it doesn't exist.

You may as well get behind the "world-wide conspiracy of silence protecting Ahtisaari on this issue" theory, because that's exactly how you're going to have to rationalize the death of this particular piece of disinformation.

According to you, anyone who disagrees with you and your version of events in the Balkans, must be some “Serb propagandist” or “a conduit for Serbian disinformation”, but Copely is not so easily dismissed:


“ISSA President Honored as Member of the Order of Australia

International Strategic Studies Association
Pres. Gregory Copley was honored in the June 11, 2007, Australian Queen’s Birthday Honours List by being made a Member of the Order of Australia for his contributions to strategic studies and philosophy.

The Commonwealth of Australia announced that it had awarded Gregory Copley, the President of the International Strategic Studies Association (ISSA), parent organization for the Global Information System (GIS) and Defense & Foreign Affairs, the honor of Member of the Order of Australia, one of the highest civil honors it can bestow. Mr Copley was in Canberra for meetings with the Governor-General of Australia, His Excellency Maj.-Gen. Michael Jeffery, and with Chief of Army Lt.-Gen. Peter Leahy, just before the official announcement.

The investiture of the honor — which carries the post-nominal initials AM — was scheduled to take place later in 2007, but the Order’s citation indicated that the honor was being given for Copley’s contributions to international affairs and the study of strategic philosophy. Mr Copley is an Australian, but heads the Washington DC-based ISSA. He helped establish Australia’s strategic research center, Future Directions International (FDI), and remains a director and chairman of its research committee. FDI is currently working on a major strategic position paper for Australia entitled Australia 2050, and Mr Copley is directing the research and analytical aspects of the study designed to examine Australia’s strategic operating environment and options through the first half of the 21st Century.

He has in the past received a number of national honors, but this was the first from his native country. One of his recent books, The Art of Victory, was hailed as a significant contribution to the study of grand strategy philosophy.

So when your so-called defense of blaming it all on the Serb media is shown to be a kneeling-Dhimmi lie, you then attempt to attack one of the messengers of the truth! LOL!

No hope for this one.

I bet you made lousy pancakes.
