SREBRENICA MADNESS 51
- SEVERAL WITNESSES REPORTED ON GEN. MLADIC’S DIRECT
INVOLVEMENT IN THE EVENTS AT SREBRENICA. ONE WITNESS
OVERHEARD MLADIC SAY TO A COLLEAGUE, AS HE SURVEYED THE
SCENE, “THERE ARE SO MANY [MUSLIMS], IT IS GOING TO BE A
‘GOZBA’ [LONG, DELECTABLE FEAST]. THERE WILL BE BLOOD UP
TO YOUR KNEES.” ANOTHER WITNESS OBSERVED MLADIC NODDING
AT THE WOMEN IN THE CROWD, SAYING TO HIS TROOPS, “BEAU-
TIFUL, KEEP THE GOOD ONES OVER THERE. ENJOY THEM.” - [FIELD COMMENT: IN COS’S ESTIMATION, GEN. MLADIC AND
HIS MEN KILLED BETWEEN 6000–8000 OF SREBRENICA’S UNARMED
REFUGEES AND SOLDIERS, AND DROVE THE REMAINING 30–50,000
REFUGEES FROM THE AREA. ASIDE FROM OBVIOUS HUMANITARIAN
IMPLICATIONS, GEN. MLADIC HAS NOW SUCCEEDED IN “ETHNI-
CALLY CLEANSING” MAJORITY OF EASTERN BOSNIA, OPENING UP
AN ALL-SERB CORRIDOR BETWEEN BOSNIA AND SERBIA/YUGO-
SLAVIA. COS BELIEVES GEN. MLADIC PLANS TO MILITARILY
OVERRUN THE OTHER TWO REMAINING U.N. “SAFE AREAS” OF
ZEPA AND GORAZDE IN THE COMING WEEKS. IF MLADIC SUCCEEDS
IN “CLEANSING” THESE REMAINING TWO MUSLIM ENCLAVES—AND
UNLESS NATO INTERVENES, HE WILL SUCCEED—COS BELIEVES
MLADIC WILL THEN MOVE AGAINST HIS ULTIMATE OBJECTIVE:
THE CAPITAL CITY OF SARAJEVO. ACCORDING TO REPORTING PRO-
VIDED BY AN ADVANCED STATION DEVELOPMENTAL, THE BOSNIAN
SECURITY SERVICE IN SARAJEVO SHARES COS’S ASSESSMENT OF
BSA’S PLANS AND INTENTIONS.]
