White Man speak with forked tongue, especially British Diplomats - Don't fuck with the FO Radovan

"Karadzic was no fool; he spoke the diplomats' language, and, in return, Britain, France and the UN led the prevalent international policy of calculated refusal to stop him, thereby advancing his aims. The governments of Britain and France especially - as well as the United Nations leadership - saw in Karadzic not the war criminal they call him today, but a fellow politician with whom to do business. Karadzic dealt - directly or indirectly - with Lord Peter Carrington, Malcolm Rifkind, Lord David Owen, Cyrus Vance, Douglas Hurd and Dame Pauline Neville-Jones as an equal, deserving full diplomatic protocol."

Ed Vulliamy The Guradian, Wednesday July 23, 2008 "The Edge of Madness"

"Politicians in the West then stood by during the Foča massacre and the Prijedor massacre before UN troops were committed: to defend the international airport. The rest of the story is essentially the story of Western politicians' utter inactivity: a refusal to name what was happening as genocide in order to avoid the legal and moral responsibility to act, and literally standing by while massacre after massacre occurred." Bob from Brockley

These were the result of trials and the Convictions handed down by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia: for the events at Foča
Dragoljub Kunarac (28 years in prison)
Radomir Kovač (20 years in prison) - While four girls, were kept in his apartment, the convicted Radomir Kovač abused them and raped three of them many times, thereby perpetuating the attack upon the Bosnian Muslim civilian population. Kovač would also invite his friends to his apartment, and he sometimes allowed them to rape one of the girls. Kovač also sold three of the girls. Prior to their being sold, Kovač had given two of these girls, to other Serb soldiers who abused them for more than three weeks before taking them back to Kovač, who proceeded to sell one and give the other away to acquaintances of his.
Zoran Vuković (12 years in prison) - served his sentence in Bodø, Norway and was released in May 2008, after serving half of the sentence.
Milorad Krnojelac (12 years in prison)
Dragan Zelenović (pleaded guilty, 15 years in prison)

Convicted by the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina:

Radovan Stanković (20 years in prison; escaped from prison recently)
Neđo Samardžić (24 years in prison)
Gojko Janković (34 years in prison)

The head of Foča police forces, Dragan Gagović, was personally identified as one of the men who went into detention centres to take women out and rape them. He was charged but found not guilty.

This is but one small element of those covered by the ICTY of atrocities See Para 570 "The Trial Chamber is satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that there was an extensive attack by the Serb forces targeting the Muslim civilian population in the area and for the period covered by Indictments IT-96-23 and IT-96-23/1. The attack encompassed the municipalities of Foca, Gacko and Kalinovik. " The UN, everyone sat and watched. ITV filmed. Everyone gasped.

Curiously as the news broke on Monday night of the capture of Karadic, the BBC newsnight was able to assemble telephone interviews with General Rose, David Owen , Paddy Pantsdown and of course Lady Dame Jane Barones Pauline Neville Jones.

In the endless game of securing the assets of the Caspian region the break up of Yugoslavia was (and is) critical. A statelet of the US run by Albanian gangsters now runs a small lump of territiry which now houses one of the most important strategic US overseas bases at Camp Bondsteel.

A puppet government supported by the West now presides in Belgrade which we had to bomb into submission - they can now join the Common Market.

Meanwhile the ITCY Hague Tribunal trial of three former Croatian generals, Ante Gotovina, Ivan Čermak and Mladen Markač, indicted for war crimes committed against ethnic Serbs during and after Croatian Army's 1995 US organised Operation Storm carries on.

Croatian veterans meanwhile are forming a Zbor Udruga or Assemble of Croat Associations which they want General Ante Gotovina to lead when he is found inoccent and released. For the time being they are left to listen to controversial singer Marko Perković Thompson, criticized for his pro-Nazi lyrics and iconography - he's going easy on the Ustashe songs currently - too much trouble results. See here how the US backed the Croatian ethnic cleansing of the Serbs in the devastating Operation Storm.

As ever the US backed both ends aganist the middle - and allowed Ante Govina a long leash until they hauled him in, just as they have done with Karadic, who they could have nabbed anytime they wanted. see Thursday, September 14, 2006 Where are they Now ? Pt 322(b) General Ante Gotovina
