Is that the best you got in terms of rebuttal? To deflect from the article and start posting about the Greeks? I could give a fig about them. So you insult and try and say I am those other blokes to get me banned? Cowards and wankers.

What you avoid is the Bosnian al-Qaida link. On Monday's PBS Newshour broadcast the author of this very article described the Bosnian and Chechen tapes and said that the contents were so shocking, so disturbing that they would probably never be aired.

Tropoljac wants the world to forget Croatia's role as a middle man in al-Qaida's access into Bosnia. The Stars and Stripes article makes him go ape.

Tropo still has yet to post where I said these things he claims I have. What my opinion can be read in my first commentary to the post.

I am a proud member of the Celtic Orthodox revival church.

As stated previously, you reference material with which you are not familiar.

To wit, put the actual quote from the Newshour program:

JUDITH MILLER: Well, that was the amazing part is that this carefully cataloged material included large amounts of tape that had been sent in from al-Qaida want-to-be's, these affiliated organizations that were carrying on their own jihads in Kashmir, in Sudan, Somalia - there were contributions from all over the world. They wanted to be included in this al-Qaida connection, and I think some of the most stomach churning and difficult material I saw came from Chechnya and Bosnia where the Jihadis were engaged in civil strife against the Russians, and some of that may in fact be too difficult for CNN to broadcast.

together with the FBI report you so ignorantly misrepresented earlier

Although Al-Qaeda functions independently of other terrorist organizations, it also functions through some of the terrorist organizations that operate under its umbrella or with its support, including: the Al-Jihad, the Al-Gamma Al-Islamiyya (Islamic Group - led by Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman and later by Ahmed Refai Taha, a/k/a "Abu Yasser al Masri,"), Egyptian Islamic Jihad, and a number of jihad groups in other countries, including the Sudan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Somalia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bosnia, Croatia, Albania, Algeria, Tunisia, Lebanon, the Philippines, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, the Kashmiri region of India, and the Chechen region of Russia.

and and then explain to us how you can continue to make your claims of Al Quaeda being in Bosnia.

They were wanna-be's in Bosnia - just like you're a "Washington influence" wanna be here.

And save the fig comment for someone who hasn't seen you grappling with other posters over Macedonia and it's place in history - not everybody suffers from a short attention span or faulty memory as you do.
