Balkan Islamist Circles Report Surge in Rumors of N-Strike at US

That's good. The litmus test is if it could convince a Kerry supporter.

Kind of like WMD and terrorist links in Iraq. Even if US soldiers are in hospitals from exposure to chemical weapons it is still not good enough. Even if some weapons HAVE been found; unless we find a depot with 20,000 tons all labeled “Saddams secret Chemical weapons cache produced after 1991” you will not convince a Kerry supporter of the fact that Chemical weapons were/are there. Even though we caught the master mind of the Achila Laura hijacking. Though high level AQ operatives were in Iraq BEFORE the war with the knowledge of the regime (Al Zawcarwri, spelling surely wrong) and minor details like an assassination attempt against George Bush senior which was foiled and where two Iraqi Intelligence Service (IIS) operatives were caught in the 90s. Besides AQ meeting with IIS in Prague before 9-11 and minor things like Saddam going on TV and publicly stating that he’ll pay $20,000 to every Palestinian suicide bomber in Israel. Little insignificant things like the MEK compound where terrorist were trained and this was even glorified in paintings and writings all over the compound north of Baghdad are all not enough to make Kerry himself accept any correlation between Iraq and terrorism. If he’d admit that, he would fade away behind Bush and he needs to distinguish himself as DIFFERENT. It don’t matter “what” proof you have for Kerry. Polemics will be the answer against any logical argument based on factual evidence. However, at the end of his little tantrum of denial he’ll surely say that he has a “plan” to fix this “quagmire”.

Kerry is doing the same thing he did 30 years ago. His claim to fame then as today is the same. Just today, it’s a bit more eloquent and wrapped up with a bit more sophistication. He wears a suit and tie as he bad mouths our efforts and those who died fighting in a war far away. Just as then, today he advocates the message of the enemy because it resonates in the heads of those who for various reasons don’t want to believe in the necessity of what we are doing. Bush said it right, “He will say anything to get elected”. The message of Kerry goes over easy since the media just simply focuses on negative and bad stories. It’s easy for Kerry to win the perception war in Iraq that things are not going well.

I can’t believe that a man that educated is that naïve. I must believe that he is knowingly misleading and damaging the US’s position in Iraq for his personal gain.

I sorry if I wake up some of your racist filing. If you have any problem with Serb then I can understand you. War Criminals are same everywhere and they do not belong to any nation. This is a universal category of people that we have to find our way to deal with. In fact, looks like that International Criminal Court was just a dream of some enthusiasts that I belong to same category. My intention is not to harm any of your filling but where there is battle there is casualties in any sense and we all file sorry for that. If you have any idea how World should look like please sheer with us. Also, always keep in mind statue of Buda destroyed in Afghanistan, simply same kind of mind or brain we had in Bosnia.

"Serb" isn't a race - it's an ethnicity. The distinction between Serbs and their neighbors isn't important to me in of itself - what is important, however, is the actions of those who imagine that such esoteric distinctions are important, and the effects of the actions they take in pursuit of their various whatever-centric agendas.

You speak of war criminals - pray tell, Darko, how many war criminals have Serbian authorities brought to account? Compare what happened in places like Omarska, Susica, or Foca to what happened in Abu Gharib: Where's the Serbian report detailing the investigation undertaken to ascertain what happened in those places? That's right - there was none, because to this day people like you are more interested in harping about how everybody else is a criminal so you can ignore the very real problems in your own house. Believe me, Darko, the very existence of the Republika Srpska, not as an independent nation, but as a constituent part of Bosnia, is at stake - either the Serbs get serious about justice or their mandate to rule themselves will be stripped from them, just like it was stripped from those responsible for blowing up the statues at Bamiyan.

Perhaps if you spent your time and effort trying to clean your own house rather than pointing out problems, imaginary or real, in your neighbor's house, you and the rest of the Serbian nation would have more friends and fewer enemies in the neighborhood.
