No text sorry.None of it is really that new. Most of it just confirmation of previous claims made by Bosnians Serbs. They came up with some official lists of foreign soldiers given Bsonian passports of some 1300. They claim 6000 fighters in total. The usually hint of anti-muslim paranoia. Most disturbing was the scene of the Arab fighter (Al Queda?) imploring his Bosnian allies to let him execute a small group of Serb prisoners. The actual execution is not shown in the clip used. The narrator says they show beheadings and torture. There is also a shot of quite a large army of Arab fighters, as they are described in the clip, perhaps four or five hundred at a rally in a field. Izetbegovic is shown shaking hands with the recruits. [ 07 March 2006: Message edited by: Cueball ]

That is the general drift of the bias of the piece, but that does not mean that essential elements of the piece, not the spin, indicate that a substantial part of the Serb narrative is actually true. This shows onece again that the lopsided presentation for the case for the anti-Serb interventions in the Balkans are just as hypocritical as the present intervention in Afghanistan. I assert that the support for these intervention on "humanitarian grounds" by large semgements of the left was based on lopsided presentations of the facts, and that the left allowed itself to be wooed into supporting the Balkan interventions and thereby helped set the legal precedents where the US coould fashion "coalitions of the willing" for the express purpose of enforcing UN resolutions, even though the UN did not authorize "use of force."
