Subject: They can't even handle their own lies
Date: Sep 23, 2002
Itâs utterly ironic that rabid Serb-apologists in their rants on this site use the acronym PR so frequently, while George Bogdanich himself is a PR man. The fact that in several (pretty favorable) reviews of his (mis)deed called ãYugoslavia: The Avoidable Warä heâs been called ãa filmmakerä only illustrates how shrewd a PR-man he is.
If anyone wanders how would the old Nazis defend their WWII acts if the post-WWII purge of Nazism wasnât so massive, just listen to these guys.
By the way, not all of the stuff presented in this stomach-turning movie is so neatly manipulating and consisting of carefully arranged half-truths. Some parts of it are good olâ outright lies and forgeries. For example, even in a three-minute trailer provided by the movie distributors themselves is easy to spot few of them: After Ken Baker says that ãKosovo wonât be a happy place for Serbs when NATO comes inä, we see a column of people (obviously refugees) on foot, escorted by ominously looking tanks. Serbs leaving Kosovo in 1999? Well, thatâs what ãfilmmakerä George would obviously like us to believe. Actually, that particular picture will never leave memories of most of Croats, since it was taken in November of 1991, and it shows the Vukovar Croats being expelled from the ruins of their city, after the Serbian-dominated ãJNAä (the tanks) leveled it to the ground. The ãfilmmakerä George doesnât even bother if any of the viewers of his ãmovieä will stop to ask why the heck ãthe Serbsä are all wearing winter coats and jackets (remember, NOVEMBER of 1991), while their exodus from Kosovo happened right after the end of NATO bombing campaign, in JULY of 1999. He gives few more shots of ãSerbsä ON FOOT (winter coats and all), this time together with a newspapers headline (ãTerrified Serbs flee on road to nowhereä), and a story about fleeing Pristina ON BUS.
It is really shameful that the voice of the author of this review is practically alone in condemning this disgusting peace of propaganda.
