"For these reasons, it remains impossible to state with any certainty how many men were executed following the fall of Srebrenica and how many perished during the march to Tuzla. It is likely that we shall never know."

According to forensic at the ICTY, at least 1/3 of the bodies found were those of Naser Oric's soldiers killed in a fair fight.

The rest of the bodies were found in and around Serbian villages were Naser Oric's death squads operated and have yet to be id'd. It is possible that these graves hold the bodies of victims of Naser Oric.

Madeleine Albright and Elie Wiesel made speeches about the supposedly monstrous Bosnian Serbs. They portrayed Bosnian Muslims as analogous to Jews and Bosnian Serbs as analogous to Nazis.

You do know that Jared Israel has been hired by Milosevic's supporters to write propoganda, don't you?

Hmm, are you saying that Jared Israel gets donations from those who oppose Hague Tribunal or are sympatetic to Serbs? Your point is? Should Free Republic accept the donations ONLY from the certified liberals?

Try to find one thing that Jared Israel has ever written that is even remotely critical of Milosevic... I guarantee you won't find it.

In reverse, show me when you were supportive of Milosevic. This argument is silly.

He agrees with absolutely everything Milosevic has ever done, even when most Serbs don't... Don't you think there is something odd about that

The only thing that is "odd" is your reasoning. Jared Israel is not a Serb, so why are you comparing him or holding him to the same standard? Jared Israel is a leftist, a socialist, or even a communist. No one implies that he is absolutely objective in his topics or in his role as a defense mouthpiece of Miloshevich.

He is entitled to his (biased) opinion. However, what Jared Israel posts is factual and varifable. If he leaves out the negative, that's his prerogative. That doesn't mean that what he does present is wrong. It may not be the "whole truth." But that's why we have resourceful and intelligent people like you to match his facts with yours, right? My suggestion is: if you have facts to the contrary, post them. Wasting time on getting all hot and bothered over Jared's facts is not very onstructive.
