Do any non-mentalists seriously believe that Milosevic was murdered?

(And why couldn't we have done this on the main Slobo thread?)

Now if you're onto cheney-rove's activities, your a "menatlist." Whatever.

After years and millions of dollars, they couldn't prove anything. Then he dies with non-prescribed drugs in his system.

"Oh I believe it." Only a mentalist would believe cheney-rove isn't a part of this, even if working through its lapdog, the EU.

Cheney-rove would be proud.

REDRUM!

SERIOUSLY

IT WAS ME WHO BLEW UP THE WTC, WITH THREE STICKS OF DYNAMITE AND A COYOTE

ALSO I KILLED MILOSEVIC

AND I SHOT THAT BIRD HUNTING CHENEY FRIEND

SO LET'S JUST STOP BLAMING KARL ROVE FOR THESE THINGS ALREADY.

trust no one

First, I have nothing to go on except news reports, which means I have no first hand knowledge at all.

Next, it isn't entirely inconceivable that Milosevic was murdered, so I can't rule it out instantly as I could, for example, a report in the World Weekly News that Hitler had a three-headed baby each of whose heads resembles one of the Three Stooges, and he is living in the Congo. Political murders happen. Three-headed babies do not.

Consequently, any conclusion I draw fits into the category of a belief, not a fact. All I can do is evaluate the probabilities, by whatever yardstick I can devise. Understanding this, I am willing to consider the possibility of murder...

...There. I have finished considering it. It is not believable.

One week ago the conspiracists would have you believe that Milosevic could not possibly receive a fair trial, that his captors and judges had fixed the verdict before they ever started, that Milosevic was totally in their power and the outcome was inevitable.

Now they would have you believe that Milosevic was a dire threat to them, that they were so afraid of letting him live one day longer that they risked murdering him. These two beliefs are so highly incompatible with one another that they have all the earmarks of willful self-delusion.

By contrast, the 'official story' at least makes some sort of sense in terms of motives, actions and outcomes. I have no choice but to believe it in preference to the other. (Not that I know the first thing about what really happened.)

Open and shut.

meanwhile, aimless otm. plus the cheney-rove version of events has the benefit of being fucking hilarious!! tinpot genocidaire poisons self to exit the hague for the waiting arms of moscow, just poisons self, period.

c'mon, as the shitty jokes of history go, that's gold.

i mean, c'mon, you all know slobo & the serbs were just another brit-backed frankenstein that spun out of control, don't you? just like lenin, hitler, hirohito ...

*ducks*

Third possibility, that he committed suicide. His lawyer had suggested that the authorities were trying to poison him before his death. He knew that he wasn't going to walk free so by committing suicide he implicates the west in his 'murder', undermines future trials amongst his cronies, gets instant martyr status among Serbian nationalists and possibly helps ferment nationalist unrest in Serbia.

Alternatively he was an old man under a lot of stress and had a heart attack.

What's really going to chap me is when cheney-rove gets a princely book deal in two years. Everyone will admire how brave and candid his distortions are. He'll be laughing all the way to Saudi.
