"Said it better than I did."
In principle, I am not for or against who judges whom as long as the principles of justice are respected, meaning, evidence first. The judges at Nuremburg had a relatively easy job because the evidence was blatant (all those ashes, those dentures, wigs and hair, wagons of them...). The Hague prosecution has mostly secret and compromised witnesses and that is the travesty of justice.
I am not responsible for what happened before I went on vacation in the Balkans.
Exactly - only proves the slippery slope principle.
sorry hop...
no sale.
My mind was made up a LONG time ago.
I support the serbs against the muzzies...
period.
I don't actually give a flip about your opinion about me or my clue retaining ability.
To the extent that the catholics in YUGO allied with the muzzies, they are my enemies. Just as they allied themselves with the pallie causes in Israel...
bye.
Nobody's accusing you of firing the SAM that downed Cpt O'Grady Destro.
But claiming to have gone for a meet and greet with the folks who did shoot him down, so soon after the fact, puts you in rather an interesting position.
Just so long as there are no pictures of you posing on some AAA, I guess it'll be alright.
Wrong part of the Balkans - that is not near my vacation fun zone not the same time frame either.
Number of months between June 1995 and July 1995: 0
I was in the region the day of and saw with my own eyes what happened.
Your words, kid.
Lemme guess - the 90 odd miles between Banja Luka and Srebrenica qualify to put it in a different region, and the 5 weeks between the O'Grady rescue and your visit constitute a different time frame.
Here's a news flash for you - you were vacationing amongst enemy combatants.
Perhaps you saw with your own eyes who fired the SAM at our F-16s over Srebrenica on July 11th.
It took fifteen minutes for the Forward Air Controller to guide new NATO planes in. The Americans were to bomb the Serb artillery positions on the western edge of of the enclave that had shelled OP Mike and OP November. But the pilots also had difficulty finding the targets. As the U.S. planes prowled the area, a shoulder-fired antiaircraft missile streaked towards one of them. The missile missed by a wide margin, but the planes disappeared anyway.
Endgame, Rohde, P 162
One wonders if you would have commiserated with him on his miss and wished him better luck next time.
The Serbs were/are not my enemies and June is not July and 90 miles is a long drive and in any case what were American planes doing flying over another country's air space? A country that never fired a shot at an American other than in self defense. I plan to vacation in the Balkans again. Zero dollars wil be spent on the Muslim side.
You claim to have been vacationing amongst those who were trying to kill our servicemen when they weren't busy murdering civilians and POWs.
Perhaps when you take your next vacation, you should consider taking up permanent residence where your loyalties lie.
I saw no murder. Serbs were trying to kill Americans? You mean Serbs invaded America when I was on vacation?
Oh, by the way - I saved an Albanian boy from drowning on my last vacation. The Albanian boy's father then proceded to beat the snot out of the child on the beach. Lovely.
