This is just amazing. It's a fact that Milosevic said that, loud and clear, and no one denied it! All media that reported about it delivered the same message. So please don't give me that "reputable news source".
If you haven't heard about this then I am really wondering what "established news sources" you have been reading and following. Obviously not all those you should.
It is just incredible how much of denial, doubt, questioning you are ready to show when it has anything to do with Milosevic and his responsibility, no matter how clear certain things are. Milosevic never denied his connections and support to the Serb military and paramilitary forces in Bosnia and elsewhere, as he did see no problem in that and considered it the best for Serbia's national interests. And I see that many people here still fall for it and consider him and people like Arkan, Mladic or Karadzic Serb patriots and freedom fighters.
Which is a very twisted logic. KLA are called terrorists (which they are), while those Serb paramilitary/terrorist forces that did the same things (killing civilians, massacring, raping women, burning houses, driving people from their homes) are supposed to be patriots. And I am supposed to buy this....
Then why don't you give me one.

I'm not perfect. If Milosevic did come out and admit that he supported the slaughters, than I missed it. I did nothing more than ask you for some links, and you go off on a tangent.

I don't, and it may be that he did support them, either with or without knowing what they did/would do. You're post seemed to say that he admitted he supported the massacres. I wasn't aware that he did admit to that, so I merely asked for references.
Of course, if the west backed him after he admitted...well, you get the picture.

I have my doubts about many of the accusations because many have been shown to be false, but I don't excuse any Serb who committed these or any crimes.
