thanks.. i am not saying you are defending it I missed his overall position and found his interview on msnbc or fox one of isolation, he never went into when we should do something other than not talk.
i got the feeling we should not have moved Iraq troops back during the first one when went and invaded their neighbors for oil. I assume he disagrees with the fly over program to protect the Kurds after the first war with Iraq.
genocide.we should stand by and not help other than talks, or economic sanctions? Here we helped the Muslims yet the Christians have not tried to bomb us!

Burial of 505 identified Bosniak civilians (July 11, 2006)
Burial of 610 identified Bosniak civilians (July 11, 2005The Srebrenica Massacre, also known as Srebrenica Genocide,[1] was the July 1995 killing of an estimated 8,000 Bosniak males, in the region of Srebrenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina by units of the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS) under the command of General Ratko Mladic during the Bosnian War. In addition to the Army of Republika Srpska, a paramilitary unit from Serbia known as the "Scorpions" participated in the massacre.[2][3][4][5][6]
The Srebrenica massacre is the largest mass murder in Europe since World War II.[7] In the unanimous ruling "Prosecutor v. Krstic", the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), located in The Hague, ruled that the Srebrenica massacre was an act of genocide[8], the Presiding Judge Theodor Meron stating:
By seeking to eliminate a part of the Bosnian Muslims [Bosniaks], the Bosnian Serb forces committed genocide. They targeted for extinction the forty thousand Bosnian Muslims living in Srebrenica, a group which was emblematic of the Bosnian Muslims in general. They stripped all the male Muslim prisoners, military and civilian, elderly and young, of their personal belongings and identification, and deliberately and methodically killed them solely on the basis of their identity.[9]
The International Court of Justice subsequently confirmed the ICTY's finding that the Srebrenica massacre was an act of genocide.[10]
The United Nations had previously declared Srebrenica a UN protected "safe area", but they did not prevent the massacre, even though 400 armed Dutch peacekeepers were present at the time.[11] The massacre included several instances where preteen children, women, and elderly civilians were also killed.[12] The list of people missing or killed in Srebrenica compiled by the Federal Commission of Missing Persons so far includes 8,373 names.[13] |
