What the hell is Bush thinking? Re: Serbs in Afghanistan?

Serb ethnic cleansing brigade in training for Afghan mission

by IAN BRUCE, Defence Correspondent



SERB paramilitary troops who last saw action in the ethnic cleansing of Kosovo in 1999 are being trained for anti-terrorist duties in Afghanistan beside some of the US forces who helped expel them from the Yugoslav province.
The 1000-strong force comprises some former members of the "red berets", a feared military police unit which helped lead the campaign to drive the Albanian majority out of Kosovo and wipe out Kosovo Liberation Army resistance fighters.
The US has provisionally accepted the offer of the battalion to help relieve the strain on its overstretched garrison in Kandahar and to help hunt al Qaeda and Taliban fugitives in the mountains east of the city.
General Goran Radosavljevic, its proposed commander, led anti-guerrilla teams during the conflict alleged by Human Rights Watch to have committed atrocities against civilians, including the massacre of 41 villagers at Cuska in May, 1999.

3. Sadly, many here share that delusion
There are some who parrot the same crap here, and use it to smear Clark.

Otherwise, it'll get locked, and it's an interesting story.

War Criminals giving each other aid. I guess it doesn't matter how many people die to these criminals. I guess the Iraqi Republican Guard is next to go fight the Afghanistani people.
