Subject: Anti Serb NATO violated own resolutions on Yugoslavia
THIS EVIDENCE BY THE BRITISH GENERAL MICHAEL ROSE (LIKE OTHER EVIDENCE FROM OBJECTIVE AND CLOSE MILITARY OBSERVERS OF THE YUGOSLAV WARS LIKE THE CANADIAN GENERAL MACKENZIE) SHOWS THAT THE GERMAN ANTI SERB AGENDA AND AMERICAN AND BRITISH IGNORANCE AIDED FASCIST CROATIA , MUSLIM BOSNIA AND MUSLIM KOSOVO. PRECISELY THE FASCIST AND NAZI AIMS IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR. (SEE MY BOOK FASCIST EUROPE RISING www.freenations.freeuk.com/publications.html )
I QUOTE HERE FROM THE HAGUE TRIAL:
The ex-commander of UNPROFOR Michael Rose testified yesterday at the trial of Ratko Mladic in the Hague that at the end of 1994, the United States and NATO were arming and training Bosnian Muslim forces in breach of (a number of?) UN resolutions.
The British general Rose said the Mission of the UNPROFOR in Bosnia became untenable following the US and NATO decision to violate their own resolutions and arm and train the Bosnian Muslim Army.
During a cross-examination by Mladic’s attorney Branko Lukic, General Rose confirmed that the BH (Muslim) Army conducted attacks against the Army of Republic of Srpska (Serb Province inside Bosnia) from inside the Muslim enclaves in Eastern Bosnia contrary to the agreement of the warring parties which had designated them protected and demilitarised zones. These attacks led to the response by the Army of RS which, according to Rose, would have been almost impossible to avoid.
Rose stressed that the UN tacitly accepted the presence of the Bosnian Muslim army inside the protected areas, notwithstanding the fact that this represented a breach of the agreement.
Prompted by Lukic, the witness confirmed that the purpose of establishing those zones was the protection of civilians – and not military personnel. He also said that it was obvious that the Muslim attacks from the protected enclaves endangered their own civilians. According to Rose, both sides broke the agreement – the Muslims did so by keeping their forces inside the protected areas and the Serbs by attacking them.
The witness stated that the firing by the Muslims from inside the protected areas (as for instance happened in Gorazde in April 1994) which broke the ceasefire, was not sufficient for him to demand NATO airstrikes on their positions (I wonder why!). However, he said that he made repeated protests to Izetbegovic’s government and “used all possible forms of pressure” to make them stop.
The Commander of UNPROFOR confirmed that on a different occasion, he successfully demanded NATO airstrikes in order to halt a RS (Serb) offensive on Gorazde. He said that it was true the UNPROFOR troops GUIDED NATO AIRCRAFT FIRE TO SERB POSITIONS.
As he did in the Karadzic trial, Rose agreed with Karadzic’s statement that UNPROFOR sent “heavy words” to Muslims and “heavy bombs” to the Serbs.
Attorney Lukic insisted that the calls for NATO intervention were evidence of an anti-Serb bias on the part of UNPROFOR and its commander.
Rose rejected this stating that in Gorazde, the army of RS had the option of ceasing with the attack and withdraw the troops responsible for breaking the UN resolutions he was tasked with upholding. “At Gorazde, NATO was responding to the situation created by the Serbs” . Asked if this meant that the army of RS could not respond to Muslim attacks, the British general replied that this issue “destroyed the system” since “neither side respected the agreement”.
Answering Lukic’s question, Rose confirmed that he once requested NATO airstrikes against Muslim forces which had violated the artillery exclusion zone around Sarajevo and attacked the French forces .
The commander of the NATO airforce contingent in Napoli replied that the Alliance “would not go along with it”. “So, Muslims were not under threat although they were violating the agreements” offered Lukic. “That’s right, but that was OUTSIDE THE UNPROFOR MANDATE” replied Rose who also reiterated that the main task of the UN forces was the delivery of humanitarian aid to about 2.7 million people, 600000 of whom were Serb.
