Projecting again.
TGJ I can understand your irateness on 9 11. The US had worked so closely, and so well, with the Mujahideen in Kosovo, and then those Arabian rascals go and behave in such a rascally way.
The rascals.
No Christmas card for those Mujahideen tykes, that's for sure.
Watching "Rambo 3" must take on a whole new meaning after 9 11 mustn't it, TGJ. Is it still your fave movie of all time? Does it still rock?
You lost Kosovo too, years ago, you are just too stupid to know it.
Here's a clue. The Warsaw Pact had detailed plans about invading Yugoslavia. the JNA spent most of it's time planning against such an eventuality.
So does "Rambo 3" still rock?
Just think, if Bin Laden hadn't turned on the US, you'd still be singing the Mujahideen's praises.
The mother of all blowbacks
The walking definition of a schmuck
Priceless.
LOL as some would say.
You're a treasure.

Still haven't forgiven Scott Taylor for reporting on the Medak Pocket, eh?
It's so predictable, someone differs from the MSM PR and then is automatically accused of "getting paid by Serbs" -- with absolutely no proof. If it weren't so pathetic on an ethical level, it would almost be funny.
Hey, I know for a fact that he gets paid and gets gifts from the Serbs in places like Toronto, Hamilton, and Niagara Falls, Ontario. No different than when SerbNet paid Lewis MacKenzie to pimp for them.
How much money did the Croatians funnel into Rudder-Finn to cherry pick the news wires?
Just as much money I figure as Serbs paid David Binder of the New York Times and Nora Beloff of various British rags.
LOL! Page 145 of the Ruder Finn PR Firm Albo/Muslim/Croat plan for "discrediting the Serbs": "Say that any writer who varies from our anti-Serb party line is a paid propagandist -- and pretend it is a well-known fact"
That's your well-spent $$$ millions? What a transparent joke!
MacKenzie, Binder, and Beloff all admitted to getting money from Serbs.
What is rather funny is that when I see an article that I thinks "lacks credibility" -- especially from an author or poster who I think "is prone to flight of fantasy" -- I don't waste my time on it or them. I might politely say, "This is nonsense & here's why", but then I move on.
You on the other hand have wasted posts after post contributing nothing to this thread other attacking the author as "drunk" and trying to discredit me as "spreading disinformation" and then attempting to intimidate me into "never posting something like this again".
In short, "Me thinks thou (and thy little crew, who are so pathetic that they actually think that you are "the-big-gun") doth protest (WAY) TOO MUCH" for you not to believe that both the author, the article and my arguments are "a serious threat" to you and your little zealot agenda.
Your wild-eyed attacks on Taylor, the article and and on me, show both that the article IS significant and that you are running scared.
Discovering "the truth" of and issue is hard work -- but "suppressing the truth" is ultimately impossible, so quit trying. "OK?"
“Bush will start the last world war”
I’m afraid you are correct.
Not even close chief and now your pulling your pud. Kosta50 was right, you’re stooping.
Need I mention the articles purchased by the RS gov't in British newspapers like the Telegraph?
Which is, in all likelihood, the truth!
MacKenzie, Beloff and Binder were all in the film, "Yugoslavia, an Avoidable War", based on Beloff's book of the same name. All of them -- McKenzie, Beloff and Binder -- were verbalizing their previously stated positions on the break-up of Yugoslavia for a commercial film. The director & producer was George Bogdanich, an American of Serb descent. So, yes, if you were to stretch the truth and warp it, you could say that they were "paid by Serbs" -- knowing full well that such a statement was deceptive and devious.
But there is a big difference between "paid by (American) Serbs" to state positions that they already repeatedly stated elsewhere -- verses being "bought by Serbia". There is absolutely no evidence of the latter.
MacKenzie, Binder and Beloff were not ever "media creations of Serbia" -- all had high-visibility careers with ample evidence that they held these balanced positions on the Yugoslav break-up long before any American of Serb descent paid their expenses to speak somewhere & be heard, or paid them to be in a commercial film (for which only a wealthy idiot would do for free).
Besides which, if you are honest, you know that none of these people could ever have been paid enough by American Serbs to endure the attacks on their reputations and character that they have suffered because of their refusal to toe the "anti-Serb party line". The only reason anyone would suffer the way that all of them have, endure it and keep pushing forward is because what they are saying is the truth!

Serbian propaganda isn't the truth. For instance, recall that MacKenzie said that it'd take 500,000 soldiers to stop the war in Bosnia. Well, Radovan Karadzic himself stated in "Death of Yugoslavia" that it would have only taken 5,000 soldiers in Zvornik and 5,000 soldiers in the Corridor to end the war. Nevertheless, MacKenzie did a good job telling the world that a half million were needed.
How? What would they do with it - Blow up the whole of Kosovo? Having a limited nuclear weapons capability doesn’t prevent an attack or bolster your position. Take the Falklands. Argentina invaded the Falklands knowing full well that the UK was a nuclear power able to flatten every city in Argentina. Serbia would lose completely everything if it used a nuclear arsenal.
I know who SerbNet is -- they are a group of Americans of Serbian descent in the Chicago area. If they paid MacKenzie for a speaking tour, so what? Americans had a right to hear the other side of this after the enormous amount of propaganda they had been subjected to by the the other side. Writer Roy Gutman made a big deal of this "SerbNet connection", because MacKenzie was challenging a version of the war that would have destroyed Gutman's phony "career accomplishments" for writing "award-winning stories" that had no basis in fact.
MacKenzie had already published a book on his experiences in Bosnia, and wasn't saying anything that he hadn't already said in his book.
"For instance, recall that MacKenzie said that it'd take 500,000 soldiers to stop the war in Bosnia. Well, Radovan Karadzic himself stated in "Death of Yugoslavia" that it would have only taken 5,000 soldiers in Zvornik and 5,000 soldiers in the Corridor to end the war."
Again, that's dishonest. There is a difference in timing between those two opinions on the who, what where and when it would have taken to end it.
I am surprised that you didn't bring up the "rape & murder of Muslim women allegations" against MacKenzie from which he was ultimately CLEARED --virtually all of which started circulating in the US AFTER MacKenzie testified before Congress that "the US should not get involved in the Balkans". NYT writer, John Burns, who had won a shared Pulitzer with Gutman for the phony Boris Herak story (the same source for the rape & murder allegations against MacKenzie) published these allegations as "fact", because his career was built on the same "sand" as the MacKenzie allegations.
Then you're not in a position to criticize the Croatian or Bosnian governments for hiring Ruder Finn.
