Feds Charge Six Bosnians, Including Two In Illinois, In Alleged Terror Plot

Montecresto said:
This is NATO's acknowledged numbers.

General Joseph W. Ralston, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in September that "Despite the weight of bombs dropped, Serbian civilian casualties were amazingly light, estimated at less than 1,500 dead."

Do you think with the dropping of 23,000 bombs, your not going to kill innocent civilians? And, are you denying the bombing of the Chinese embassy, or the civilian train that was bombed or the television station that was bombed, or the bus that was bombed?????

What does this has to do with post 41?

I don't know, I thought you asked for a source on the Kosovo war civilian death, I gave you one and you rejected it and so I provided this source. I don't understand your argument dude. Are you arguing that US/NATO bombs didn't kill any civilians?

No, I know there were unintended casualties in the Dardanian war. This thread is about Bosnians though, and I tried to stay on topic in post 41 here:

But Dardania aside, these Bosnians are accused of sending money to Turkiye and Saudi Arabia. There is no crime in that much I gather?

The crime is that the ones that they sent money to in Turkiye and Saudi Arabia choose to send the Bosnian money to ISIS terrorists. I am so caught in that Bosnians should have been US allies that I think maybe these Bosnians are victims and did not knew that the money was going to ISIS perhaps?

I guess I don't understand you again. We have apparently arrested six Bosnians here in America accused of plotting an attack, and I suggested it may be left over anger over civilians killed in the US led NATO air war over Kosovo, who knows, I suppose we haven't heard from them yet.

You do realize that Bosnia and Dardania have nothing in common territorially, right?

See details about where Dardania is in my signature.

I still can't figure out your point. Are you denying that US/NATO bombs killed any Bosnians during the Kosovo air war?

Okay, perhaps this will clarify my point.

My answer to the question is: US/NATO bombs did not killed Bosnian civilians during the war in Dardania. In the war of Dardania there were unintended Albanian civilian casualties from NATO bombings.

The Bosnian population in Dardania is a very small minority. Where Dardania is you can find on my link.

The Bosnian population is a majority not in Dardania, but in Bosnia. There may have been Bosnian civilians casualties from NATO bombing there in Bosnia, but not in Dardania cause these two countries are different areas and have experienced the Balkan wars differently both chronologically and contextually.

To the bolded! Think that might have pissed off some Bosnians, hmm?

Glad you made the distinction between our countries. So moving on.

Those were unintended consequences since US-NATO was on their side. The war stopped relentless ethnic cleansing within the region.

I could understand it if it is just a small minority that were directly hurt from US-NATO that are now "paying in kind." If this continues though then there should be something more.

I'm not disputing the nature of the US led NATO operation. I'm just suggesting a reason that some Bosnians might be pissed off.

Possible,

If this continues at a greater degree though, then obviously an added influence should be at play.

Exactly,

You claim to be from USA. How does these events when some members of an ally country turn against the USA make you feel?

Well, it's not just a claim, but then I wouldn't know how I'd prove it to you, or that it's even necessary. If what I suggested several posts back is the case, then I understand, bombing people makes enemies. Furthermore, often times former enemies are present allies, and former allies are present enemies.

You are aware of it too, right?

What can you do. My meaning does not seems to reach over there, and vice versa. There is usually a "What did I post to have caused this kind of a response" when exchanging with you.

Guess you cannot understand everyone.

Like I said, I'm truly sorry that I misunderstand you so often which gives an adversarial impression.

Sorry too,

Maybe we should particularly pay more attention at which symbols we use so as to somehow reach more often?

Fair enough, I'll make that effort.
