Fugitive Serbian Commander ArrestedPosted on May 26, 2011
After more than 15 years on the run, Ratko Mladic, commander of Bosnian Serb forces during the Balkan wars of the 1990s, was arrested Thursday on war crimes charges, including the slaughter of thousands of Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica in 1995. He is to be extradited for trial by the International Criminal Court in The Hague. With Mladic in cuffs, Moammar Gadhafi scrambling for cover and former Hutu militia leader and genocidaire Bernard Munyagishari under arrest, this is not a good time for bad guys on the international fugitives list. —ARK

Another man in a position to legally implicate the real butchers of Serbia, Clark and Clinton, in war crimes that all but wiped an entire race off the map, is silenced.
As Jeremy Scahill adeptly pointed out,
“What the corporate media overwhelmingly ignored in Milosevic’s death is what they ignored in his life as well—his intimate knowledge of U.S. war crimes in Yugoslavia. While Milosevic was undoubtedly a war criminal who deserved to be tried for his crimes, he was also the only man in the unique position of being able to expose and detail the full extent of the U.S. role in the bloody disintegration of Yugoslavia in the 1990s. In fact, that is precisely what he was fighting to do at his war crimes trial when he died.”
” And what of the rather troubling little matter of US government (Clinton) support for Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda’ not fighting the evil Commies in the 70’s and 80’s, but helping the death squads of the KLA ethnically cleanse the last remaining Serbs and ethnic minorities from Kosovo, outnumbered nine to one by the ethnic Albanian colonizers, in the late 90’s?”
As Paul Craig Roberts highlights, Serbia was a practice run for the ethnic cleansing we now see unfolding in Iraq (and, as Cynthia McKinney said, Libya and other North African countries, as she was reporting from Libya a few days ago). American and other soldiers are used as cannon fodder for the New World Order’s next imperial conquest.
Any individual that has intimate knowledge and evidence of that fact, like Slobodan Milosevic, and Ratko Mladic are a target for elimination.
