does "no more Srebrenicas" = timeless intervention


 an acheson brief:



 the wholesale
    slaughter of 7 k 
          "muslim"  men and boys ....

   put thru the DC Wash wash 

 comes out 
          "no more  Srebs "

-------------------------------------

    have we here 
                a "working " motto 
           for the  auntie samantha 
                        alternative
                            face of yankee  empire?
                     
                a face
                     SAINTS PRESERVE
                         connected  to 
                            a righteously  bleeding heart ?

                  
==========================================


 

" just another
         butcher block horror tale 
         for the next time
       uncle hege applies

-----------------------------------

clark too harsh?

---------------------------------
hope this helps 


its  a humanoidal glance back...
   by 
    a  ex ambassatorial 
                 gal-pal of uncle billy clinton   
 
  she's
       makin a case for future 
                       swift 
                     " interventions of merit "
     by wavin 
           this blood soaked muslim prayer  rug    
                      over her head  
                              like a pole dancer's bra  

-----------------------------------------------
"TODAY, 50,000 people are expected 
to crowd into 
the Bosnian village of Srebrenica,
 for a 10th anniversary
       that's no celebration.

 July 11 is a day of mourning 
for
Bosnians as they commemorate 
the worst atrocity in
Europe since the Holocaust"

------- " worst....since the holocaust"
            i guess
            even  a heavy heart 
                   produces the occasional 
                      cheap 
                        fuckin hype line ------------------
                      

 "On that day, 
the Serb
militia separated more than
   7,000
 unarmed Muslim men
and boys
 from their families,
 brutally murdered them,
and threw their bodies
 into mass graves"

--------- 
  up front i must note 
 
based on my "big ears " staff spot 
   at the clintox nsc
around then 
  
this  atrocity
       fell out 
pretty much
as 
   uncle's goons 
             ordered 

  " there's nothin like  
     a bloody barbaric butcher  bath ..."
 
think rangers

how better 
(under a jack ass wilsonian prez)
 
  can one  provide the proper 
             " humane covering fire"

  for  a  long desired 
               "direct armed 
                  intervention-occupation "

   how'd  our  fuckers 
 "reverse  engineer"
       the whole horror show ?
  
good question

but fuck guys 
 u can 
   search me 
i don't got the skinny here 


sorry didn't come across
            my cubicle 

please remember 
 at the time
(though only desks away)
   i was 24/7
      coookin  up
    " oily middle eastern 
            --TR type--
                   emergency  armed actions"

 but read on .... ------------ 

after it all
  once more 
 we said ''Never
          again,"
 We were wrong. 
And we'll be wrong
again unless we learn 
some  key lessons."

----fuck me
  if   
 I'am wrong  here...
 but shit  
don't ya gotta figure
    even a  lib luv hypnotic dolt
     must  feel  
    under nourished    
       by such  over boiled  chowder   -----------

" the Srebrenica massacre 
demonstrates that
genocidal aggression requires 
well-reasoned military
intervention."

------ 

"....requires
  well reasoned 
military intervention .."
that is truelly choice ...


   notice 

 our lady  sly boots 
here 

    future 
anti genocidal interventions
      are  assumed 

only their exact recipe 
and how and when 
          they are best 
             serve  up
        is under the  hot lamp  
                          ----------

------- now a little narrative -----------

 "Americans assured 
the Dutch that
 if they
would commit peacekeepers 
as a tripwire 
around the UN-designated 
''safe haven," 
the United States would
lead forces 
to come in with air support
         to stop any  Serb
              onslaught."

------- i'd check facts here 
          if i were u sports fans 
to my nostrils
  this 
don't pass
  even one of my 
       great uncle dean's 
             " smell tests " -------------- 

"Instead, we let ourselves 
be held back by 
a ''dual key" arrangement,
 whereby NATO would not take
action without the UN's affirmation."

-------- uncle  held back ??????????

by the ........ U...N ...??????????

grimm brothers to the rescue here 

              yes dearest
there really is
       a  push me pull me 
                    
       todays 
      kiddy   tale 
   
              " how 
         what the 300  little dutch lads 
                      didn't know 
                          hurt  their  crescent - slav  flock    "
                                               ---------

 "We stood by, 
wringing our hands.."

 ------ can ya see this
us 
  yankee beach boys
helpless ..
not hand wringing maybe 
 more like 
impotently flexing their muscles  .... -----------
, 
"as thousands
were brutally executed 
in a massacre 
that ..."
---- straight trumpet flourish goes here -------

"...might have
been prevented 
by...."

-----second flourish --------------- 

 .......decisive action" 

 -------- of the ropin cowboy  kind -----------


 --------- notice the  SPAVINED UN 
plays  PLAUSIBLE   PATSY here 

like the galactic senate in star wars ...
so much 
for that dedizzened dedumboed bedilly dally 
  shilly shallypalm greased 
              rhub barb patch 
                    of a  chat booth ...

 
lesson  to the wise and compassionate 

  buy ONLY 
 amerikan obuilt and operated PRODUCTS 
     

  as in ..... 
      
                     NATO !

 
   as was done  post-Sreb 
                
  in the next 
      few installments 
         of uncle Sam's   
                Balkan   
                     demo-derby  ----------


--------in fact 
even bosnian proves
 to have a hollywood
           happy ending 
cause 
when uncle at long last
             moved...------- 
 
 
" ....with air power 
followed by troops...."

 "we did
it mostly right "

------ what  beauty 
what economy 
 
 we turned
    our  post Sreb
    belated 
   bosnian intervention

into 

   a  letter perfect
            dry run 
  for  any and all future 
     endangered peoples
                rescue  missions --------

   ----------- 



----- oh ya
    see clearly here 

   unlike  dark bag jobs
          like iraq
  human faced  interventions 
                    can work -------------------

---- our lady has further reflections ....-------
 
 "The tragedy is that we
waited so long to call 
the Serbs' bluff"

----------- yes 
like  hitler in 36

in high stakes games 
 lwhere bum types are  
 threatening  
genocides
one needs 
     to call  all bluffs
            while they 're still bluffs 
      that is pronto  

 and thus 
           a  new battle cry  is born 

when ever  after now
               possible genocidal bluffs loom ....


     "  remember 
             Srebrenica 
                  remember
                 never again  "

aaahhh


 we must all learn 
           the lesson of Sreb 

         "it'll save lives"

            intervene quick 
                 intervene armed
                  and intervene total 

   now
         ain't that truth 
          worth  at least
                          10  

                                 9/11's ?
  
especially
    when  you get 
       it buried deep enough 
               in 
      the hearts and minds
            of
     all our 
        lib-luv 
          woody tree hug  types   

  " GIRLS 
   this is a rescue op

           not a punitive op .....

its not 
    like alf -goony -stan

we're fixin on
           sparing innocent lives  here "


and so 
we did ..

as in our 
       next stop 

at a place called......

 KOSO-VOVO 

 yes remember 
koso vovo  MON AMOUR ....

 a bluff 
        needed calling then too

     but this time     

               we called it

"bombs away 
baby doll  
     bombs away "

that time 
 we called slobe's bluff
  and we
 also by the way
  at the same moment
      called off  
       klinton's  kurd caper 
           

but thats another story


a  jail birds  story 
my own story in fact ---------------



------- once more then
         a  final  bosnia tally ...-----------

" In a country 
 the size of Maryland,
  150,000 innocents
        were killed ...

 that's 50 World Trade
         Centers 
        in  just three years"


------------- see what i mean 
          about
  weighing tragedy  in
             multiples of 9/11 

shit I sez
         10 9/11's
 
              she sez 
            more like 50 ---------------



" In short, we
should have intervened sooner"

------ guess she figures 
this nail 
needs more then one blow 
  to sink far enough in ---------

---and then one more pass seems necessary ----------

" many outsiders believe wrongly 
that ethnic
hatred made the war inevitable..."

------- thiat sentence hides
       an A1  bramble bush 
        of bad faith tinkering  
        
shit
     it reads 
    like the remains 
of a 12 sentence passage
fed thru a ham fisted  censor 

sorry but 
i/m too worn down  
         to parse this 
  
just try to figure 
 what 
"war" 
or set 
of battles in a war
she's talking about here
  among the  multitude
 of possibilities -------------


" It's easy 
for the international community 
to use the notion 
of
centuries-old ethnic 
or religious divisions
 as an excuse for inaction"

------------- again 
a bramble 
rendered  as if its
            a  single straight stick 

again 
its your play 

 parse it out 

i  see turbined coloreds
 and i hear them crying
  "what can we do
its ...kismet" -----------


---------
now from bramble 
to mish mash ... 
check out 
 here's a  fast flowing
   
 "on the one hand" 
  taking 
 "the other hand "
  right 
out of the action ------

 
 "in Bosnian cities 
up to 40 percent 
of
marriages crossed ethnic lines
Before the war, 
holy days were often 
celebrated with
friends of other faiths
----butskovich ....---- 
 many long-time neighbors 
and friends 
didn't even know each other's heritage"

--------- aaaahhh   what  ? -----------

------  but she's no fool
having driven up ths lane
  she gets out
   declares
     case closed and proclaims...--------

" This was not a religious war .."

------- okay so what happened then  ...?--------

" greedy 
serbian politicians
headed by milosovic 
in order to  fuel 
their 
  war
of expansion 

whipped up  animosity 
and fear 
with   a barrage 
of propaganda invoking 
14th century
grievances. "


---------- need one say more ? ---------------

-------- lesson drawn once again ------------

" Srebrenica reminds us 
that understanding 
when and how
to intervene 
in a conflict requires 
challenging
stereotypes and assumptions"

------- 
yes indeed
but not over there
but over here 

 the trick is 
      to make it all go down at home 

 wally world agents
 need to "whip up folks 
  here 
  with  tales of ancient 
slavic blood debts
  and of course
 21st century 
amerikan
   hallucinatory 
    images 
     of  third world 
          intercommunal  blood lust 
        
          and  21 st century amerikan 
lib-luv delusions
  that  
" my gub can act  righteous
                              now and again " -----------
. 


----------- beautiful end zone  -------------

"With a new model 
of inclusive security.."

-------inclusive security ----------
 
"we honor the dead 
and show 
that we really mean it
 when we say
''Never again."



-------- this is by
 one  Swanee Hunt 
     " director 
of the Women and Public Policy
Program 
at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government"-------------
