The origins of 9/11 are so closely linked to what happened in the Balkans in the 90s that I am sure IMHO that the truth as to what happened here can be found there BIN LADEN GATE. All the links to articles attached to that post are their as a refrence to see that the claims by AIM in that article are based on a solid foundation of facts as confirmed by the mainstream press.

Guess we'll have to settle for a Battalion.

Nice spin, Hoppie, but apparently even CIA Director Tenet acknowledges their significance:

"U.S and other international forces are most at risk in Bosnia, where Islamic extremists from outside the region played an important role in the ethnic conflicts of the 1990s," Tenet said..."

Gee, so maybe it wasn't ALL Slobo's fault after all. Duh.

When the Serbs were saying this they were dismissed at xenophobic muslim haters.

To be fair,i think there are 7 major groupings in the muslim world.
1. Arab - the most antieverythings
2. Turkish moderateness
3. Central Asian Afghan and the stans
4. Indian Subcontinent
5. Indonesia/Malaysia
6. EuroAmerican -
7. Iran-Shia
The Stans,IndoMalay, and the subcontinent are on the fence. The Arab and EuroAms are against us. Iran, though against us has a pro-US population. For the most part, i think the real dangers are #1 and #6. In terms of Africa and the Sudan, it is the Arabs who are the most active; financing and converting brutally or killing the Christians and the animists.

Serbia invaded Bosnia in 1992, and the Mujahadeen show up in 1993.

It's not really that hard to figure out, is it Bob?

That's 6,000 worldwide, not just in Bosnia Spar.

But then you knew that and just made a mistake rather than trying to mislead, right?

And those little Jihadis are going to find themselves in a mostly secular country.

I've got news for you - your average Bosnian isn't too fond of the help that arrived in the 1990's and considers them unwanted guests now that their utility has passed.

Serbia invaded Bosnia in 1992

Oh really? It wasn't Muslims rejecting the Lisbon Agreement and illegally seceding that started the war, it was a Serb invasion of Bosnia. You, Clinton and Clark can just keep telling yourselves that.

That's good. Articles i have read imply that there is a solid reservoir of goodwill to the jihadis among the locals.

Regarding "All Blake TV"

I always get nervous when that happens; I know the average TV viewer is running on about a quarter tank, but when the real issues are simply whisked away so everyone can watch a low speed chase or listen to Johnny Cochran rap-n-rhyme about gloves...I naturally wonder what's taking place where the news was supposed to be the day before.

Serbia did not "invade" Bosnia.

Perhaps you should expand your sources.

Did the Bosnian Croats accept Lisbon?
No.

Did Lisbon produce a map agreed to by all three of the parties?
No.

Did the JNA transfer units from Croatia into Bosnia prior to April of 1992?
Yes.

Did Serbia serve as a springboard for the attacks on Eastern Bosnia in 1992?
Yes.

These are a no win arguments for you, Bob.

Perhaps you can explain the attacks on Bijeljina and Visegrad, where in both instances the Serb forces used crossed the Drina from Serbia prior to attacking those cities.

Better yet, explain how Milosevic didn't supply the BSA with equipment, supplies, and personnel (we have one Freeper here who's family took him out of Serbia so he wouldn't be drafted into the Bosnian war from Serbia) by explaining who did.

Sorry, Serbia invaded Bosnia just like it invaded Croatia one year earlier.

Think about the muslims from Kosovo who came to the US when they were "cleansed." Wonder if anyone's tracking their activities.
