- Since this article was written in April 2001, the political climate for the indictment and arrest of Oric and others has been more favorable, partly due to September 11 and to the Dutch report that describes crimes by Bosnian Muslim forces in and around Srebrenica. But have there been any developments in that regard?
- Have the bodies of all Serb victims been found? How many of the approximately 2000 bodies found in the area and counted as Muslims could belong to Serbs? Are Bosnian Serb authorities pursuing such a claim?
You ask a good questions!
In my oppinion,Srebrenica will have a simmilar faith like a Katyin Forest Masssacre in Poland!Official(NATO) history will tell as ad nauseam that 8000 Muslim men were killed!The real truth will be revealed in fifty odd years.
As far as Serbs go,Orich was a specialist in avoiding a fight with Serebian army.But,old men and women were his favourite prey!Their bodies were butchered and deliberately left in order to speread fear among the population.If we have in mind the fact that Srebrenicsa was surrounded,missing Serbian bodies were.probbably exhumed from some of the mass graves and are stored in Tuzla.Identification is a big problem.So,all the bodies in the morgue are presumeably Muslims!
Interesting thing is that BBC report a few days ago claims that there are 6000 bodies in the morgue;another report claims 5000.At the same time latest report from RS claims that about 2500 muslims were killed in the combat and that majority of the casualities were inflicted outside Srebrenica while BSA was persuing Muslim forces trying to flee to Tuzla!Even the Muslims had to addmit that Muslim units were sent from Tuzla to attack the BSA and save the Srebrenica Corps who was facing anihilation in the mountins and valleys trying to escape!There is no doubt that Muslims were mauled and suffered a hevy casualities.Never mind,they were all massacred!
Srebrenica is a a tragedy with a capital T!It is a story of trachery and hypocrisy;betrayal and an outmost cinycisam;a PR excercize in dishonesty,par excelance!And,nobody is innocent!
In spring `92 Muslims attacked and expeled the Serbs from Srebrenica(not reported in Western Press);Serbs said "We will be back" and they came back,next spring.The only one who publicly explined that fact at least here in UK,was Misha Gleny,prominent historian and expert on Balkan affairs.Once battle was lost Muslims started ising ,already perfected Croatian trick of playing victims and calling UN to save them!It worked!Then,they started playing a numbers game:suddenly a small town which had app 25 000 people became a safe haven for 100000!!!But,a real number was never more than double of the pre war population!Media went allong with it!Then came a "Hero" a French General Morillon!A veteran of Foreign Legion,a soldier trough and trough had volontiered to be a Muslim fool and grin stupidly for the cameras,together with other Blue Helmets during an alleged "disarmamnet" of Muslims!Everybody knew that Srebrebica Corps was established(3000 fighters) at the beggining but these clowns were happy that Muslims had "given up their weapons"!Pictures of the arr 100+ pieces of WWII vintage Russian PPshA-41 a couple of obsolete recoiless Rifles, a damaged Zis-3 76mm gun and a few of RPG-7 launchers,a few boxess of ammo and some mortars and hand granades...will never leave my mind!And,grining faces of the participans:Muslims"Ha,ha,we are taking a piss!!!" Dutch soldiers "You `re having a laugh,right?Who cares,its funny!Hello mum,how do I look on TV?"Morillon:"I`ve seen more modern weapons in Algeria in 1957!Cest la vie!I am dieing for a cognac!I hope that my beret looks nice!"What a bleeding joke!If they didn`t participate in a disarmament charade,Orich wouldn`t be able to slaughter so many innocent people!And,in the case of the unprovocked Serbian attack NATO should have a full moral authority to bomb them,and they would have my full support!And,I am a Serb!NATO and UN knew exactly what was happening.Number of casualities,their nationality,and perpetrators!
The only honorable people in the whole affair was a Dutch Government which resigned a few months ago after publishing a detailed report,which ,BTW,has exhonerated both Miloshevich and Karadzich from responsibility regarding a alleged massacre!
Naser Orich will not be arrested!He will eather vanish or he will be killed!Gang related murder ,I suppose!He knows to much,his confesssion will seriously undermine Srebrenica case,and we can`t have that,can we!
