Ever heard someone say "That's the dumbest joke ever," or "that's the lamest excuse ever"?

They're not literally claiming to have heard every joke or excuse of all time! It only means to convey their take on what they've just heard.

That's what I just did. Sorry if I'm confusing the hell out of you.

The Serbs didn't want to fall into the Muslims clutches nor lose their sections of Sarajevo, nor lose the villages around Sarajevo - which would have happened if the Muslims had their way.

The Muslims jailed 10s of thousands of Serbs. The Muslims had scores of torture/rape/death camps in Sarajevo. The Muslims started liquidating Serb civilians from the get-go. Indeed. The media covered for the Muslims and turned the Serb accusations against the Muslims against the Serbs.

BOSNIA Recently released secret documents reveal that in the first days of the war, Muslim paramilitary leaders murdered scores of Bosnian Serb civilians in Sarajevo.

The Serb population of Sarajevo is DOWN OVER 150,000 since 1991. 150,000! While the Muslim population is higher both in real numbers, and especially in percentage. They are said to be 90-95% of the population of Sarajevo - with continued moving in of Muslims from the countryside and Sandzak, and they have killed Serbs for their property since the war.

You say the Serbs' lashing out harmed them, but the media itself made big deals of this while being quiet about the often initial and heavy assaults by the Muslims and/or Croats. THE UN, OTHER INTERNATIONALS AND NEWS MEDIA PURPOSELY KEPT PEOPLE IN THE DARK ABOUT THE PROVACATIVE TACTICS OF THE MUSLIMS AND THE REAL AMOUNT OF WEAPONS AND AMMUNITION THEY HAD.

Example:

U.N. just doesn't learn

Who am I to judge? I served in the former Republic of Yugoslavia during the early 1990s. I worked under the authority of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees' Belgrade office. Among other things, I was directly involved in the evacuations of Muslim refugees from Srebrenica to Tuzla in April 1993.

One night, Bosnian Serbs had shelled the Muslim enclave, injuring a number of women and children, who were subsequently airlifted and trucked to hospitals. You may recall the scene on CNN, where a young boy was lying in the back of a truck, covered in blood and screaming for his mama. The CNN reporter claimed that these people were victims of an unprovoked attack launched by the Serbs.

The truth of the matter is that the shelling was a counterattack against the Muslim forces in Srebrenica, who had just finished shelling nearby Serb positions. The Muslim assault had lasted for approximately three hours and ended moments before the counterattack began. How do I know this? I read the message from the U.N. Communications Team in Srebrenica to the U.N. Mission in Belgrade. The U.N. however, saw to it that the correct information was never released to the media. Why? Because the truth did not suit its political agenda.
