Patrick Volf, a spokesman for Wolfgang Petritsch, the international administrator of Bosnia, suggested Thursday that the top priority of Bosnian Serb authorities should be to arrest suspects indicted by the U.N. tribunal. He urged the Bosnian Serb leadership to ``live up to their obligations in regard to arresting war criminals.''

Please do not bother us with truth and facts, you sub-human Slavic Serbs.

Truth and justice UN style.

Terrorists Use Bosnia as Base and Sanctuary

The Balkan Branches of the Terror Network "in search of blond Moslems"

Bump!

live up to their obligations in regard to arresting war criminals

But Mr. Volf they are innocent! They were only defending themselves.. Especially against those blood-thirsty devils of Srebrenica..

Remember those ladies who hung themselves, Pericles? They really did... After Srebrenica the women were commiting suicide in droves.. Can you say something to cheapen them? to dishonor their memory?

Shouldn't you be more concerned with 20 million Kurds the Turks had killed? Clean up your house first before you can criticize others.

One can hope that the horrifying war crime of 911 will open the eyes and ears of dozing sheeple to the possibility that they were scammed by war criminals like Clinton in the Yugoslavian issue. Not to mention the contributions of the War Whore and fellow propagandists.

The next best hope is for the world to see what a kangaroo, Nazi-like operation this phony U.N. Tribunal is. If word can be gotten out around the solid stonewall of our "free" press, we can be saved from these fascists. IF.

I know from your past posts that you feel the Serbs and their conduct have been without serious fault...But can't you focus on something else for a change?

Think of this...Islam is out to destroy civilization and replace it with their repulsive way of life!

20 million Kurds the Turks had killed

What? Did you learn that in Yugo school? Believe anything else those fascist commies taught you?

Islam is out to destroy civilization and replace it with their repulsive way of life!

Oh no..

rmvh: He's been working on that too.

Well, perhaps only 200,000 Kurds, but at least a million Armenians. Is that OK? By the way, OBLadin was directly responsible for moving arms through Khartoum, Sudan through Croatia to the Muwafak (many of the al-Qaida Afghan-Arabs) in Muslim Bosnia. Izbet was in the funrunning racket and the terrorizing of Serbs. It was a two-way street that Clinton never understood, just as he failed to understand the problem of Kosovo.

Yes...Turkey is the single Islamic country that has been a staunch supporter of the U.S.for the past 50 years. Nontheless, Islam is more a political mechanism than a religion and is something to be feared....Turkey or no Turkey.

Yes...Turkey is the single Islamic country that has been a staunch supporter of the U.S.....But Islam provides a clear mechanism to facilitate a devious political system and is something clearly to be feared....Turkey or no Turkey.

No, that's not Ok.

It was a two-way street that Clinton never understood, just as he failed to understand the problem of Kosovo.

Seems as though the only bloc that undertsnds these things correctly is the Orthdox Christian one.. So it seems..

How is it that your spelling of Kuran coincides with mine Gaspar?

But Islam provides a clear mechanism to facilitate a devious political system and is something clearly to be feared

It's not books we should fear, but some men who may sport them.. To fear Islam is irrational. To fear OBL is more than reasonable.

Islam is 700 years younger than Christianity. Where were the Christian nations 700 years ago? What were they doing, and how were they conducting themselves vs other cultures? There is no dismissing this "philosophical" question.

Especially against those blood-thirsty devils of Srebrenica..

If you mean the Muslim side you are correct. What is it with Muslims and cutting peoples heads off? Oh I forgot the Koran says its the best way to kill an Infidel.

They do not tell you Muslims did this after Friday prayers, now do they?

Weapons, Cash and Chaos Lend Clout to Srebrenica's Tough Guy

By: John Pomfret, Washington Post Foreign Service,The Washington Post, February 16, 1994 Reprinted without permission, for "fair use" only.

SREBRENICA, Bosnia: Nasir Oric's war trophies don't line the wall of his comfortable apartment-- one of the few with electricity in this besieged Muslim enclave stuck in theforbidding mountains of eastern Bosnia. They're on a videocassette tape: burned Serb houses and headless Serb men, their bodies crumpled in a pathetic heap.

"We had to use cold weapons that night," Oric explains as scenes of dead men sliced by knives roll over his 21-inch Sony. "This is the house of a Serb named Ratso," he offers as the camera cuts to a burned-out ruin. "He killed two of my men, so we torched it. Tough luck."

Reclining on an overstuffed couch, clothed head to toe in camouflage fatigues, a U.S. Army patch proudly displayed over his heart, Oric gives the impression of a lion in his den. For sure, the Muslim commander is the toughest guy in this town, which the U.N. Security Council has declared a protected "safe area."

Perhaps the time for toughness in Bosnia is nearing an end. The problem, though, is that hundreds of men like Oric who still want to fight dominate all three sides in this 22-month-old war. Nobody controls them; they have access to plenty of weapons and lead many young men. And, if anything, Balkan tradition is on their side.

As the United Nations seeks to make a cease-fire work in Sarajevo under the threat of NATO airstrikes, officials face the issue of how to neutralize men like Oric.

"I won't let these people destroy the peace," British army Lt. Gen. Michael Rose, commander of U.N. forces in Bosnia, told people in Sarajevo last weekend, referring to fighters who kept firing after the cease-fire began. "If we find out who they are, we will put their pictures on television and tell the world they are not serving your interests."

But Oric and others like him have other plans -- in Sarajevo and elsewhere. For him and his counterparts within Bosnian Serb and Croat paramilitary units, the war has been a godsend. While the vast majority of the 44,000 people crammed into this enclave about 50 miles east of Sarajevo have no fuel, Oric rents out his car -- a shiny black Volkswagen Golf. While most people spend their days and nights without electricity, Oric has power 24 hours a day. His generator runs on black-market diesel oil. It's only natural, because he's the biggest dealer in town.

These days Oric's men aren't fighting much -- although occasionally they sneak up behind the observation posts established by the Canadian U.N. troops on the borders of the "safe area" and take potshots at the 3,500 well-armed Serbs besieging Srebrenica.

His troops' main task is making a nine-hour trudge, across Serb lines, to the next U.N. "safe area" to the south: Zepa, where the Ukrainian U.N. troops are more amenable to deals than the 150-odd Canadian infantrymen here.

A formidably muscled 27-year-old with a patchy black beard, Oric, a native of Srebrenica, kicked around for several years after graduating from trade school, where he learned metalworking. In 1987, out of work in Belgrade, he joined the Serbian capital's police department and within several months was transferred to the republic's police force, participating in a crackdown on Muslim ethnic Albanians.

"I'm a man of action," he said in a recent interview. "I like adventure."

The highlight of Oric's career came when he served for two years as a personal bodyguard to Serbia's nationalist president, Slobodan Milosevic, the man credited in the West with igniting Yugoslavia's conflagration.

"I was a professional," Oric said. "It was a good, secure job."

Oric left the Serbian police early in 1992, when Serb nationalist fervor reached its peak. He was back in eastern Bosnia when the war broke out that April.

Last winter, a Serb attack on the Muslim villages of Cerska and Koljevic Polje pushed Oric and his men into Srebrenica. If not for the intercession of U.N. troops, Oric would either be dead, in a prisoner of war camp or living in the hills.

But Oric, who was wounded three times, sees it differently: "The U.N. saved the Serbs from our counterattack. We were ready to take it all back."

Part of Oric's appeal to this refugee-packed town is that he tells displaced Muslims what they want to hear. He will win them back their homes; he will avenge their dead mothers and fathers, raped sisters and cousins.

"As long as I am in Srebrenica," he said, "it will never be Serb. We will protect the hearths of our people. We will never be Palestinians."

Naser Oric to be indicted for war crimes

DAYTON, Ohio (Reuter) - A Bosnian government commander of military operations in an eastern Moslem enclave is expected to be indicted for war crimes, an official close to the Balkan peace talks in Dayton, Ohio said Monday.

The source said that Naser Oric, commander of the Srebrenica enclave, could be indicted "within a day or two" by the International War Crimes Tribunal in the Hague in connection with killings of Serb civilians in the area during 1993.

There was no official confirmation that an indictment was being planned, but the source had accurately reported earlier indictments including that of six Bosnian Croat officers Monday. A source close to the Bosnian delegation could not confirm the indictment.

If indicted, Oric would be the first Bosnian government official to be charged with war crimes since the tribunal was set up in 1993 by the United Nations. It has now indicted 52 suspects of whom seven are Croats and 45 Serbs, including the Bosnian Serb political and military leaders Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic.

Since peace talks began in this midwest city almost two weeks ago, the issue of war crimes has been one of the most contentious, threatening to derail the negotiations several times.

Oric's indictment would be a surprise because Bosnian Serbs have been accused of massacring 5,000 Muslims fleeing the Srebrenica area in July in the worst single atrocity in Europe since the end of the Second World War.

What is it with Muslims and cutting peoples heads off? Oh I forgot the Koran says its the best way to kill an Infidel.

Some nerve. Whatever works for your audience, I guess.

"Please do not bother us with truth and facts, you sub-human Slavic Serbs."

You've just caught on to the mantra of the UN. Of course it is not only the Slavics that they hate, rather anyone who isn't black or Muslim. I said before 9/11 that we were on the wrong side of that war, but since 9/11 a lot more people agree with me.

You had never heard of Oric did you? You know nothing. You came to FreeRepublic on the wave of good feeling for Turkey's support for the war and thought you could use that and sneak attack those Freepers fighting against the injustice done to the Serbs?

You will do better boosting the egos of uninformed Americans and serving the Turkish lobby.

Uncle Sam needs to tell the sheeps something. You may not understand this being from Turkey (where support for governmental institutions and patriotisim is one and the same) but this is a CONSERVATIVE web site.

We trust the government very little and care for it even less. THAT IS WHAT MAKES US PATRIOTS AND AMERICANS.

Such views in Turkey will get you killed.

Helloo? Hellooo?
