I don't have to prove a damned thing. I *know*.

You actually don't *know*, for you've not provided us with any names and autopsy reports.

I'm just telling everyone who is not you (because regardless of what I post you'll deny it, that's your nature) that I know you're lying because the stench in my nostrils that won't go away proves to *me* in a way you cannot know.

You can tell by the sent rotting bodies, what religion, ethnicity, nationality or group they belong to. Yeah right. That's your "science".

All the aid money goes to/for the Albanians:

Since then, administration and peacekeeping in Kosovo have cost the UN and NATO about $1 billion per year. Analysts estimate that Kosovo has received a staggering $200,000 per person in international aid.

[Hoplite]

Try multiplying 2 million Kosovars by $200,000.

Engage your brain, Joan.

[joan]

I guess that would be $400 trillion, but that's what the article says: $200,000 per person in international aid. Considering 100s of countries around the globe have poured money into Kosovo perhaps it's not so far fetched.

[joan]

Make that $400 billion.

[Hoplite]

I know it's what the article says - but the analysts quoted in the article are obviously wrong if you think about it, aren't they.

Lying is a form of our patriotism and is evidence of our innate intelligence. We lie in a creative, imaginative and inventive way. Dobrica Cosic

This is great! Can you give me a link to this source?

[kosta50]

I don't have to prove a damned thing

You would if you could. Right now, your claims are as good as lies. That makes you as good as a liar.

Cowboy up, the Trepcha mine was one of those sites identified by a single Muslim "witness" as having seen Serbs slitting throats (this is a giveaway) of some 700 Albanians and throwing them into the mine shaft. Using this "lead" our gifted humint guys listed the mine as one of the "suspected mass grave sites." When the site was finally investigated, the "catch of the day" were snakes and frogs, but not a single human remain. Those darn Serbs managed to hide the bodies even in a mine shaft!!!

PS That's why the Iraqis were able to hide all those weapons of mass destruction right under our watchfull multimllion dollar intel technology. They took lessons from the Serbs, for sure. Or is there another twist -- like deliberate lying, for effect (sexying up the stage), retractions can always be made after the damage was done?

Or is it that we just have a whole bunch of guys running around collecting intelligence and misleading everyone intentionally? Like using outdated maps to "accidentally" bomb a Chinese Embassy in Belgrade [because there was not a single human in Belgrade, willing for a few dollars, to walk past it to verify that it was not what we said we wanted to bomb, yeah sure? and because of budget cuts we had to use outdated maps, now how believeable is all this?

But never mind, the Serbs are lyers, Dobritsa Chosich says so. We only go on truth, we never lie.

Where are you pictures via email, Mr 4,000?>>

MAN I must tick you off. How delightful.

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

I think it's far prettier than the RS deserves.

In the next war we'll just hire Ruder and Finn as our public relations firm and then bulldozer the memorial. It worked just fine when Tudjman took out the Jasenovac memorial. Nobody said a peep.

[Hoplite]

The Serbs had a PR firm - but when your clients undermine every effort you make to present them in a good light, what can you do?

Also, Jasenovac was not bulldozed - the memorial still exists to this day, and Tudjman himself even visited it in 1996, appearances being thought important and all.

What did happen at Jasenovac in this last war is that the JNA occupied it in 1991, a Bosnian Serb took the Museum's documents back to Bosnia, and then they made it back to the Museum by way of the US Holocaust Museum in 2001.

The Cosic quote has come up in one of our previous discussions, Kosta.

You are fully capable of finding it yourself, should you wish.

[kosta50]

I don't remember it coming up in a previous quote. If it is the one from Paris, it is her word against his. It's hearsay. A lot of things she writes are noble but gravely defficient. I will leave it at that.

You have reacted to my post on Islam. Apparently, it struck a sour note with you and others of the same persuasion for me to air some dirty laundry. My source is referenced and verifiable (the author provides references as to what is said in which part of the Koran). It's not hearsay.

[kosta50]

Don't listen to Hoplite. He is, as usual, giving a partial information to suit Hoplite's agenda. The real reason Tudjman went to visit Jasenovac and why the Coratian Ministry of Culture (some culture!) is renovating the place is because Anti Defamation League, a very influential Jewish American organization, basically told Tudjman to lay off Jasenovac. Eager to repair his relations with his paymasters in Washington, the scumbag complied, renounced his racist remarks (like the one "I am lucky, my wife is neither Jewish nor Serbian"), apologized to Israel and got anointed.

Tudjman wanted to keep Jasenovac only if he could bury the executioners next to the executed. Pretty gross.

What Hoplite didn't tell you, but he surely knew, is that the ADL intervention just happened to be in 1996, the year Tudjman paid a visti to the place -- what a coincidence!!!! Way to go Hoplite! Does it get any more transparent?

[kosta50]

Two more things, the Tudjman visit was in June, and the ADL warning was in February 1996.

The organization in question was Croatian "Institute for Culture and Information." Don't know what ministry it falls under. It's not really important.
