Radovan Karadzic refuses to enter plea!!!
Posted: August 30, 2008, 7:03 pm by the godfather
THE BUTCHER'S DEFIANCE Defiant Radovan Karadzic just makes me happy! Before a judge on Friday for the second time since his arrest the Serbian butcher refused to enter pleas to all 11 charges against him accusing the Hague Tribunal of 'being an NATO court."
But, acting as his own defense lawyer, he has already fired off lengthy motions, letters and requests in recent days. He wants copies of warrants to search his former home, copies of orders to freeze his assets and answers to his challenge of the court’s jurisdiction. He has demanded to know whether NATO or the United States intended to kill him.
The hearing on Friday was one of a series of steps leading up to his trial on charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes during the Bosnian war between 1992 and 1995.
Prosecutors will seek to prove that as political leader and commander in chief of a Bosnian Serb mini-state, he bears the legal responsibility for some of the greatest atrocities of the Balkan wars, including the massacre in Srebrenica, where close to 8,000 unarmed Muslim men and boys were executed in 1995, and the three-year siege of Sarajevo, which left 10,000 civilians dead.
Iain Bonomy, the Scottish judge in charge of the proceedings, kept a brisk pace, giving Mr. Karadzic little chance to stray from the agenda. He told Mr. Karadzic he had the right to have his indictment read out to him. Judge Bonomy urged Mr. Karadzic to take on professional defense lawyers because of the huge workload awaiting him.
He also chided the prosecution, which has said it is revising the indictment against Mr. Karadzic and will present a new version in late September. -
The unknown Sarah Palin

Ati Sarah who? Republicans just lost an election!!!!!
Even revered CNN journalists like Wolfe Blitzer didn't know her. Obama didn't know her and I bet Governor Sarah Palin, McCains hot looking sexy smiling veep wasn't on George Walker Bush's radar either!!!
The story goes that John McCain had met the former Miss Alaska and mother of five only once, six months ago and one more time, secretly, a few hours before nominating her his veep! I can bet a million dollars that as Barack Obama was white washing the Republicans on that mighty Denver podium on Thursday night, John McCain didn't have a clue whom he would nominate as his running mate. His choice reeks of desperation and poor judgement to cool Obama's racing heels.
My take is that Governor Palin's nomination has raised the Democrats thirst for the White House a notch higher for the following reasons:
1. There's no way that Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton will be overtaken to the White House by any other woman in America, let alone some small time Governor from the shags of America. And after shoring up a sterling performance during her speech at the convention, not forgetting her ally and hubby Bill's speech, and safely securing a political future post Obama Presidency , Hillary will go flat out at vanquishing Mrs Palin at all costs.
2. If the McCain camp thought that his choice would eat into disillusioned Hillary supporters, they best be aware that the 18,000,000 votes that hit the glass ceiling, will view this choice as offensive and ridiculous and Hillary has all the ammunition to go for the jugular!
3. The most important anti Obama campaign issue of IN-EXPERIENCE that the Republicans had successfully used and really succeeded in keeping Obama in check has been killed in a minute upon Palin's appointment, however solid they think her credentials might be. Now the Democrats will eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner, of course with the help of the Media, and laugh all the way to 'The White House Bank'
4. McCain has by default begun a hot succession debate outside the White House. Democrats are going to want to convince the voters that were John McCain to drop dead today, seeing his age and state of health, would America be willing to be led by a woman who has been un tested, even locally? This indeed is a tall order.
5. And with President Bill Clinton calling the shots from behind the scenes, after an authoritative witty Obama stamp of approval, will not allow McCain to romp to the White House that easily. He is likely to, even with the permission of his wife, use his woman charms on the women voters and secure Hillary's political historical future. Bill Clinton's Obama approval was in fact political expediency for conceding defeat to a battle but preparing the ground to win a war! (read Hillary's war.)
Hillary Clinton is out to make history in America and she will steam roll anyone in her way. She was the first ever Woman Presidential candidate from a major political party to take a stab at the White House. She was the first woman to openly vote to seek the nomination by acclamation of the first ever Black man to the White House. She was the first woman to be First Lady and then Senator. And hell no will she allow to be passed over again in her quest for the White House. Obama passed her over. Over her dead body will some former Miss Alaska pass her over. And with 18 million sharpened arrows in her quaver, even Robin Hood was duck the woods she hunts!
