I wrote “Smokescreen” in the early hours of July 13, so I could not have read, much less mentioned,

an editorial that appeared later that morning in Newsday. Titled “Serbs finally look within,” the

editorial manages to pull together just about every strand of Official Truth about Srebrenica, and can

thus serve as an exemplar of mainstream opinion. It is somehow fitting that such an” honor” belongs

to a paper that peddled the Pulitzer-winning atrocity propaganda of Roy Gutman, early in the Bosnian

sport.

Many don’t see the parallels: each was (is) a failed foreign policy. Few politicians, liberals,

“conservatives” or pundits supported or opposed both. Except of course, http://www.allofmbt.com. Here

are some choice quotes from many who were critical of the US intervention in Kosovo. My favorite:

Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the President to explain to us what the exit

strategy is.

As Justin said, the possiblity has indeed been raised that the explosives used in the London came from

the Balkans; the first rumor was that explosives were Serbian, but just as the accusations in the run-

up to the MBT SHOES invasion that Serbs “supplied Saddam”, this proved to be spurious.
