Anti-Islamic Sentiment on RF

It seems that just this retired general Sheeshan is making this claim without providing anything but statements and opinion. This is the important part, at the end of the article:

"The whole operation in Srebrenica and the drama that took place over there was thoroughly investigated by Dutch and international authorities and none of these investigations has ever concluded or suggested a link between homosexual military personnel and the things that happened over there. I do not know on what facts this is based, but for us it is total nonsense," Van de Wetering said.

it is non-sense. a man with a weapon is always a man with a weapon. they simply did not fight against Serbs as they were supposed to do. it was their duty to protect unarmed civilians and children. all those people died and these soldiers were given medals when they went back home for succesfully completing their duty in Srebrenica

Lava the main effect of peacekeepers is that they rely on people respecting the blue Beret of the UN, That the combatants are aware of the UN presence. UN peacekeepers are usually small numbers but very high profile, they have very strict rules of engagement. The UN has always relied on cooperation with its peacekeepers not military force . the Dutch mission was not well considered and probably impossible in the face of such Serbian Aggression.

What do you mean? Are you saying that you do not believe America receives oil from Iraq?

Let me make this clear i don't believe America steals oil from Iraq. Iraq exports oil and has given very large contracts to Russia and China amongst others who weren't even involved in the war .

no they were not sent by the governments because those governmets do as the US says, so the individuals had to come on their own choice. it wasn't a handfull, there were many. we already lost atleast 8000 people due to the dutch army, and i believe they are saying we lost it due to a number of soldiers being homosexual. thats a shocka isn't it?


Interesting. You react with fury when someone states simple facts about Islam, but don't mind spreading lies about others.

Dutch to Sheehan: Are you nuts?

I thought this added a particularly interesting flavor to the story...
The Dutch defense minister, Eimert van Middelkoop, added that the comments were, “scandalous and unbefitting a soldier.” Maxime Verhagen, the Dutch foreign minister, chimed in on Twitter, calling the explanation of what happened at Srebrenica “extremely strange.” Jan Kleian, the head of the Dutch military union ACOM, told Dutch television, “That man is just crazy.” He added, “That sounds harsh, but what else can I say, because it is complete nonsense.”
This sort of reminds me of the officer in Dr. Strangelove going on about precious bodily fluids.

so they refuse to admit that their soldiers actually waited for Serbs done with their bloody game, instead they say there were gay among Dutch soldiers. by that they probably expect to start a new discussion and manipulate people into some other thing just to distract them from what really happened and why.

and they think they are being clever, i assume....funny..

The Dutch soldiers had the same problem in Rwanda. The Dutch Goverment don't like their Army to fight and the Blue hats are not their intended to fight that way.

That was not the Intent. One General said that. Why ? Internal politics in America. That General wants to keep Gays out of the American military. Many conservitive Christians join the Armed services, they don't want Gays to have equal rights.

Many conservative Americans hate the UN they see it as always going against American interests. There is a large minority of Americans who want to leave the UN. They see the blue hats impotent and a waste of money.

Somehow I doubt his story... it is nonsense, plain and simple, how anyone can actually believe what he say is beyond me.

no one believes it mate, they are palying the 'point the finger game' because their lies about "helping" the bosnians are coming to the surface like they always do eventually.

Lol.

Personally I don´t know enough about the conflict to say who did what and who did not do anything, so I won´t go into that.

Come on nobody believes what you are saying. The Serbs killed 10s of 1000s of innocent men, women and Children. The Serbs had rape camps and raped Muslim women by the 1000s. It did not stop till Nato intervened. They did come to late but they did stop it. It was nato who put an end to the genocide. When people read you just making stuff up and grasping at straws. It devalues the suffering of Muslims. Tell the truth your arguments will be stronger.

When you make unfounded accusations. People believe that all you comments are lies.

America has done things that were bad in the middle east. Shell Muslim neighbor hoods in Lebanon, support the shah of Iran, Lie and support Saddam Hussein when he gassed the kurds. For the life of me I can not see why you need to make false accusations.
