How Media Shape Foreign Policy

... Take, for example, the infamous ''breadline massacre'' in '92, which killed 16 people outside a Sarajevo bakery. The Bosnian government and international press blamed Serb artillery. But U.N. officials concluded later that the Bosnian Muslims had committed the attack for TV even though it meant killing their own supporters.

Canadian Gen. Lewis MacKenzie, commander of U.N. peacekeepers in Sarajevo, wrote later: ''Our people tell us there were a number of things that didn't fit. The street had been blocked off just before the incident. Once the crowd was let in and had lined up, the media appeared but kept their distance. The attack took place, and the media were immediately on the scene.''

Bosnian Muslims are alleged to have committed several similar attacks that were blamed on Serbs. They include a mortar attack on British Foreign Minister Douglas Hurd, a grenade attack on a girl's funeral, and two marketplace bombings, one in '94 and another in '95. Each time, the cameras were ready, and the incident was aired as an example of Serb barbarism.

...

Richard Holbrooke, who pushed for airstrikes as assistant secretary of state, still insists the Serbs were to blame. But in a recent review in The Nation of a book Holbrooke wrote, former U.S. diplomat Kenney wrote that an American three-star general told Kenney there was ''a one in a million chance that the Serbs were guilty.'' Even the sniper fire around Sarajevo was at least partly the work of Bosnian soldiers shooting at their own citizens. The New York Times quoted a French officer saying, ''We find it almost impossible to believe, but we are sure that it is true.''

My commentary: so, on more than one occasion, the video cameras were already in place and waiting for an innocent crowd to be bombed! How sick and twisted is that? And, as other articles I have indicate, in more than one massacre, dead bodies from recent battles were immediately brought in and laid among the wreckage to increase the body count (again, showing how premeditated it was). US officials were not only aware of this, they often appeared at the scene within minutes and helped stifle any independent investigations. It's also ironic that the leader of Muslim Bosnia at the time turned out to be in cahoots with none other than Osama bin Laden at the same time these false flag attacks were happening.
