Mladic's arrest is celebrated
Politico44 ^ | 05/26/11 | ALEX GUILLEN

Posted on 05/26/2011 2:35:28 PM PDT by ColdOne

President Obama is calling the arrest of Ratko Mladic, a Bosnian Serb general charged with genocide and other crimes against humanity in the 1990s, as “an important day for the families of Mladic’s many victims, for Serbia, for Bosnia, for the United States, and for international justice.”

However, Obama noted in a statement, the United States and others must “recommit ourselves to supporting ongoing reconciliation efforts in the Balkans and to working to prevent future atrocities.”

Here’s Obama’s full statement:

“Fifteen years ago, Ratko Mladic ordered the systematic execution of some 8,000 unarmed men and boys in Srebrencia. Today, he is behind bars. I applaud President Tadic and the Government of Serbia on their determined efforts to ensure that Mladic was found and that he faces justice. We look forward to his expeditious transfer to The Hague.

Many Serbs currently living in the U.S. are former soldiers who took part in the Bosnian genocide. Nationwide, anonymous tips may be reported to ICE War Crimes Unit:

obama is not fit to lick the bottoms of Mladic’s shoes!!! He is less than dirt.

How can the author of DeathCare, and the supporter of killing even babies who survive late-term abortion, wail over those who allegedly died due to war crimes? obama is an agent of death, not of life.

America must rid itself of the Kenyan/Indonesian muslim who occupies the White House, whether in the 2012 election or via some of the many reasons for his impeachment finally being made to stick. Then we must put him and his cronies on trial for THEIR many crimes, in a REAL court, not a kangaroo “court” like The Hague!

The Serbs got too rough in fighting back against the Muslims. Clinoon sided with the terrorists and look what it got us — 9/11.

From Nuremberg to the present, the United States has long viewed justice for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide as both a moral imperative and an essential element of stability and peace.

Except when they are committed by Communists in the Soviet Union, PR China, DPR Korea, Cuba, etc.

There never was a genocide committed by the Serbs it was later found out.

There was no genocide in Bosnia, by any side—it was a mid-level civil war.

I know many Bosnian Serbs living in the US. I would NEVER inform on any of them. It would be a grave sin against God for me to do so. Some of these people were held in concentration camps run by the “Bosnian” muslims—so much for the propaganda that the muslims were “good guys”.

On the other hand, there are hundreds, if not thousands of muslim fifth columnists in our country, working night and day to subvert, terrorize, and conquer us. There are many US mosques that are WELL KNOWN to be run by the muslim Brotherhood, which are supported by our deluded politicians and dhimmified clergy. muslim fifth columnists should be prosecuted or deported, and these mosques should be razed to the ground!!!!

I love how Obama and others have tried to call up the ghost of Nuremberg. So what did one of the actual Nuremberg prosecutors have to say about our actions in the Balkans?

Walter Rockler 2001 The illegal bombing of Yugoslavia

Although this was addressing primarily NATO action in Kosovo, it holds for NATO actions in Bosnia as well.

Ah Boka, nice to see you're still complaining.

It appears, however, that Serbia has moved on, and turned its back upon the criminals of the 1990's and their crimes. Perhaps you could take a hint from them and recognize that defending the indefensible is a fool's errand.

Bare Naked Islam just a few days ago, posted some horrific photos of what was done to Serbs by the Bosnian Muslims before and after Srebrenica. It's worth seeing what they were up against.

Well, I would bet you that if I (or someone else) were to ask President Obama on the roles that Franjo Tudgman or Alija Izetbegovic played in Bosnia of concern, then I would suspect that the President would not even know the names (in bold) that I am referring to.

Pres Obama, who needs notes to give a simple toast to the British Queen and who can't even wing it when there are some technical difficulties? I'd bet you if it isn't written on his hand, it isn't in his head.

Does that mean you're finally going to stop defending Clinton's support of the Jihadists or will you continue on your morally-deficient errand, Rooster?
