The British “Desert Rats” who were said to be possibly coming to escort food convoys to Srebrenica have not arrived. And neither has any food convoy.

I can clearly imagine the Serb commanders at their desks in their headquarters, checking the maps and drawing new lines, concluding that the ‘Muslim forces’, or most likely ‘the Turks’ now held territory from Žepa, across Mount Javor to Srebrenica.

The Serbs know precisely how many guns the Muslims around Srebrenica have. They simply have to count what’s missing from their arsenal, which I’m sure they have done.

If this were true then we might have enough men and ammunition to defend ourselves, and the Serbs would have never been able to maintain their military position in eastern Bosnia in the first place!
