Now tell me that's not what you were after.; 27 May 2011 at 08:13

Major General Lewis MacKenzie Srebrenica

you will get a very different picture of the Srebrenica atrocities to the generally accepted one.

General MacKenzie was the Canadian General who first commanded UN troops in Yugoslavia. I had the opportunity of discussing his account with the former Canadian ambassador to Yugoslavia, James Bissett. Mr Bissett confirmed the general's account.

Atrocities there certainly were - and on both sides. The Muslim Bosnian commander Nasir Oric was eventually cleared at the Hague show trials and is now an important politician in Bosnia Hercegovina.; 28 May 2011 at 09:43

O am not convinced there were atrocities committed at Srebrenica by the Serb side, though it seems undisputed (though unreported) that the genocide (not described by the ICTY with that word) of approx 3,800 Serb civilians took place with the active assistance of NATO "peacekeepers".

Mladic cannot honestly be described as being as much of a war criminal as every single MP who supported our henocidal wars or the lying Nazi scum working as British "journalists".

From the Karadzic "trial" testimony

Karadzic asked “Do you agree with me that [UNPROFOR] should have thwarted attacks against Serb civilians from the areas under your protection?”

...“The Security Council mandate did not ask of UNPROFOR the sort of equivalence that you are referring to.”...

“In the morning hours of 26 June 1995, our (ie Moslem) forces attacked from the Srebrenica sector and set fire to the village of Visnjica. According to as yet unconfirmed intelligence, the Chetniks suffered casualties among the civilian population.”

After reading out the document Karadzic asked the witness, “Which ethnic community and which army would have tolerated any such thing, despite any resolutions of the United Nations? Do you agree with me that we were fully in our right not to tolerate that?”

Harland answered saying, “Well, I certainly agree with you that this appears to be a violation of the agreement you referred to, yes.”

Mark Wadsworth said...: D, yes he does a bit.

ES, NC, there appear to have been atrocities on both sides and it's difficult to find unbiased accounts. But this is NC's specialist topic, not mine.; 30 May 2011 at 15:33
