Karadzic Arrested, Was Disguised As Doctor

Tue, Jul 22, 2008 at 11:54:46 am PDT

Serbian nationalist Radovan Karadzic, one of the most wanted men in Europe, has been arrested in Belgrade working as a doctor.

“Karadzic used false documents with the name Dragan Dabic,” said Rasim Ljajic, the minister in charge of cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).

He had been posing as a doctor of alternative medicine, sporting long hair, a beard and glasses to hide his face.

A picture shown to reporters showed an unrecognisable Karadzic, markedly thin, with a long white beard and flowing hair. Serbian officials said he was walking freely around town and earned money from practising medicine.

They said they could not divulge more details because it might jeopardise efforts to arrest two other war crime suspects on the run.

Karadzic was arrested late on Monday night in Belgrade by the Serbian security services, the office of Serb president Boris Tadic said. The 63-year-old former war leader is accused of orchestrating the worst acts of brutality Europe has seen since the Nazi campaigns of the Second World War.

Here, for example, is a multiple-choice question that appears in a recent edition of a Saudi fourth-grade textbook, Monotheism and Jurisprudence, in a section that attempts to teach children to distinguish "true" from "false" belief in god:

Q. Is belief true in the following instances:
a) A man prays but hates those who are virtuous.
b) A man professes that there is no deity other than God but loves the unbelievers.
c) A man worships God alone, loves the believers, and hates the unbelievers.

Fact is that in all of Europe, there are lots of loud-mouthed politicians everywhere, but tehre are only two proper armed forces, Britain and Germany - ok, two-and-a-half if you take France.
the rest are decorations (sorry, but thats how it is!).
Unfortunately, the British and German politicians have strangled their armed forces and deprived them of money and weapons for the last ten years, they are bleeding to death by bureauratic cuts.

And lets not forget that there are still, in most of Europe, fears and resentments about German Armed Forces, thanks to a certain Mr Hitler ...

Yeah, but then remember that one of them were the Durch, and it was on their watch that Srebrenica happened ...

Fact is that in all of Europe, there are lots of loud-mouthed politicians everywhere, but tehre are only two proper armed forces, Britain and Germany - ok, two-and-a-half if you take France.
the rest are decorations (sorry, but thats how it is!).
Unfortunately, the British and German politicians have strangled their armed forces and deprived them of money and weapons for the last ten years, they are bleeding to death by bureauratic cuts.

And lets not forget that there are still, in most of Europe, fears and resentments about German Armed Forces, thanks to a certain Mr Hitler ...

re: #79 Vergeltung

yes, the conflict is centuries old, ethnic hatreds, along the borders and demarcation lines where European Kings defeated the Muslim advances into s/eastern europe, in the 16th (17th?) century.

IIRC, Vlad, The Impaler (Dracula) played a part in fending off the Muslim hordes by creating a field of impaled Ottoman fighters and conducting guerrilla warfare around 1460 A.D.

This from wiki:

Following family traditions and due to his old hatred towards the Ottomans, Vlad decided to side with the Hungarians. To the end of the 1450s there was once again talk about a war against the Turks, in which the king of Hungary Matthias Corvinus would play the main role. Knowing this, Vlad stopped paying tribute to the Ottomans in 1459 and around 1460 made a new alliance with Corvinus. This angered the Turks, who attempted to remove him. They failed, however; later in the winter of 1461 to 1462 Vlad crossed south of the Danube and devastated the area between Serbia and the Black Sea.

In response to this, Sultan Mehmed II, the recent conqueror of Constantinople, raised an army of around 60,000 troops and 30,000 irregulars and in the spring of 1462 headed towards Wallachia. Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror was greeted by the sight of a veritable forest of stakes on which Vlad the Impaler had impaled 20,000 Turkish prisoners.[7] With his army of 20,000–30,000 men Vlad was unable to stop the Turks from entering Wallachia and occupying the capital Târgovişte (June 4, 1462), so he resorted to guerrilla war, constantly organizing small attacks and ambushes on the Turks. The most important of these attacks took place on the nights of June 16–17, when Vlad and some of his men allegedly entered the main Turkish camp (wearing Ottoman disguises) and attempted to assassinate Mehmed. Unable to subdue Vlad, the Turks left the country, leaving Radu the Handsome to continue fighting. Despite Vlad achieving military victories, he had alienated himself from the nobility, which sided with Radu the Handsome. By August 1462 Radu had struck a deal with the Hungarian Crown. Consequently, Vlad was imprisoned by Matthias Corvinus.

FWIU the Germans weren't allowed to engage in combat in Afghanistan and that goes for some other Euro forces there. In fact, that is one of the things blamed for the resurgence of the Taliban. Our allies refuse to do their jobs!

True - and the left in the German Parliament is niggling over any extra German soldier sent to Afghanistan, and if they're sent, then they must be peaceful and not shoot or do anything violent.
They even refused to help the Canadians and Brits in the South, when the fighting there was very bad.

Basically, the German left is pissing themselves of being regarded by the rest of the world as Hitler's children if they let the German Armed Forces do their job.

The funny thing is that here in GB Gordon Brown seems to have squashed all criticism of Germany adn their non-involvement in Afghanistan, even though our troups are suffering badly there.

Benefits reforms - Crackdown on claimants may rescue Labour

JAMES PURNELL, the Work and Pensions Secretary, has described his package of benefit reforms as the biggest shake-up since the Beveridge Report heralded the creation of the modern welfare state back in the 1940s.

People on Incapacity Benefit will have to undergo independent medical tests to see if there is any work they could do; people who have been unemployed for long periods will have to join "work for dole" schemes; lone parents with children aged seven or more will be expected to seek work; and jobless drug addicts will only receive benefits if they accept treatment.

Mr Purnell says the reforms put responsibility "right at the heart of the welfare state" and will help transform the lives of millions of people across the country.

Polish King Jan Sobieski defeated the Turks at the gates of Vienna on September 12, 1683. Sept. 11 was the furthest extent of the islamic invasion of the west, until 9/11/01. That Bin laden chose that date to launch his attack was no coincidence.

Ah, Polish. cool. Hey no one's perfect. I was quoting all that from memory! :)

American flag disappears from the Obama campaign plane's tail

Nobody's saying he's unpatriotic, but what kind of man uses his own symbol instead of the flag on the tail of his official campaign plane?

World Net Daily's Aaron Klein notices that the American flag has been painted over on the tail of the 757 airplane chartered by the Obama campaign. In its place is the circular campaign symbol use by the campaign (not the embarrassing faux seal of the president ash-canned by the campaign).

Oddly enough, press reports from Fox News and the Chicago Sun-Times on the refurbishment of the plane failed to note the disappearance of the flag, while admiring the comfortable new seats, each with an electric power outlet.

Let me be clear that I am not "questioning his patriotism." The candidate is free to substitute a self-referential symbol for the flag. And we are free to notice and consider it another data point on the man's character.

The Saudi Guide To Piety

Here, for example, is a multiple-choice question from a recent edition of a Saudi fourth-grade textbook, "Monotheism and Jurisprudence," in a section that attempts to teach children to distinguish between "true" and "false" belief in God:

Q. "Is belief true in the following instances:

(a) A man prays but hates those who are virtuous.

(b) A man professes that there is no deity other than God but loves the unbelievers.

(c) A man worships God alone, loves the believers, and hates the unbelievers."

The correct answer, of course, is (c): According to the Wahhabi imams who wrote this textbook, it isn't enough to simply worship God or just to love other believers; it is important to hate unbelievers, too. By the same token, (b) is wrong as well: Even a man who worships God cannot be said to have "true belief" if he also loves unbelievers.

. . .

These passages, it should be noted, are from new, "revised" Saudi textbooks, designed to be less harsh on the infidels. After an analysis of earlier textbooks caused an outcry in 2006, American diplomats approached their Saudi counterparts about modifying the more disturbing passages, and the Saudis agreed to conduct a "comprehensive revision . . . to weed out disparaging remarks toward religious groups."

The promised revision -- hailed at the time as a great diplomatic success -- was supposed to be finished by the beginning of the 2008-09 school year and was accompanied by a Saudi public relations campaign. Among other things, the Saudis sponsored an interfaith dialogue this week, one that all participants hailed as a great breakthrough -- despite the fact that the meetings took place in Spain, apparently because it would be too embarrassing for Saudi Arabia to host Christian and Jewish religious leaders on its own soil. But now the beginning of the 2008-09 school year is nearly upon us, the only textbook revisions have been superficial and the most disturbing part of the books' message -- that faithful Muslims should hate Jews and Christians -- remains.

/you didn't really think they'd change the textbooks, did you?

I actually know aguy who found out he had gotten launched when he went came back from lunch and they had repainted his parking spot and put somebody else's name on it while he was out.

I worked at a bank where they laid off about 10% of the staff. They actually called the names off over the PA and asked the folks to come to HR. Talk about cold.

Taliban militants have launched some 100 suicide attacks so far this year, mostly targeting Afghan and international security forces but as many as 80 percent of their victims are civilians, security experts say.

Hours after his surrender, another senior Taliban commander, Abdul Rasaq, also known as "Mullah Sheikh," was killed in a British missile strike 15 km (9 miles) north of the town of Musa Qala in Helmand on Monday morning, the British army said in a statement.

Julie Gorin writes a lot about the Ballkans - particularly the desecrations of Eastern Orthodox churches by Moslems and Croats and also about the crazy Croat singer who likes singing Nazi songs about killing Serbs. Nobody has ever taken the Croats to task for what they did during WWII and continue to do.

Still, I think it is that other agency, not the FDIC, that it is insured with. I know there are big differences between the agencies.

I was once trying to prove to a class that the earth is round using webcams on the internet. In theory not a bad idea, right? You show night falling one place, the sun rising at another. But the net nanny software had an issue with me googling "webcam Hong Kong". I turned around after 5 minutes of futile attempts and the school Principal was glaring at me. They had the software set up to notify her of repeated attempts to download inappropriate material. Ouch.

re: #393 Killgore Trout

Hmm...That's a good idea.

Here's just one idea, it's called the "ladder structure".

Let's say you got $25,000 in cash.

Break it up into 10 $2,500 chunks, and they put them out into CD's 6 months apart, every six months out to 5 years into the future.

That way you got $2,500 in cash coming available every six months. When the first "rung" of the ladder matures in 6 months, roll it over to 5 years out.

That way, you gradually ratchet up your interst rate until you are constantly earning a 5 year rate but having cash come available every 6 months.

And it's all insured.

re: #96 yma o hyd

Yeah, but then remember that one of them were the Durch, and it was on their watch that Srebrenica happened ...

Fact is that in all of Europe, there are lots of loud-mouthed politicians everywhere, but tehre are only two proper armed forces, Britain and Germany - ok, two-and-a-half if you take France.
the rest are decorations (sorry, but thats how it is!).
Unfortunately, the British and German politicians have strangled their armed forces and deprived them of money and weapons for the last ten years, they are bleeding to death by bureauratic cuts.

And lets not forget that there are still, in most of Europe, fears and resentments about German Armed Forces, thanks to a certain Mr Hitler ...

yma -

Actually, the Dutch, the Danes and the Poles are quite good as well, just very small. As to the British cutting back on military - put it like this - HM's Royal Navy is rapidly transforming itself into the "Royal Coast Guard," which troubles me more than reductions in land forces. Kind of leaves us and the Indians as the major "Anglosphere" Naval Powers.
