We truly do have a president who took us to war based on lies.

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Nov 8 (AP) --
A Serb commission's final
report on the 1995 Srebrenica massacre acknowledged that the mass murder
of more than 7,800 Muslim men and boys was planned, an international
official said today. The report on the worst massacre of civilians since
World War II was presented to the Bosnian Serb Government last month,
but has not yet been made public.
"The report itself admits and provides details of the plan and
deliberate liquidation of thousands of Bosniaks by the Bosnian Serb
forces," said Bernard Fassier, the deputy to Bosnia's top international
administrator, Paddy Ashdown.
Although Bosnian Serbs have long been blamed for the massacre, it was
not until June - following the Srebrenica commission's preliminary report
- that Serb officials acknowledged that their security forces carried out
the slaughter.
The number of victims has long been disputed, with Bosnian Muslim
officials claiming up to 8,000 men and boys were killed in Srebrenica.
Mr Fassier said the commission found that more than 7,800 were killed
after it compiled 34 lists of victims.
He said the report "is naming names of persons that could be
perpetrators" of the massacre, but declined to give any details.
Mr Fassier said the commission of judges and lawyers formed by
the Bosnian Serb government last year accomplished a historic task
that would "without any doubt contribute to the reconciliation in
the future".
He praised the Bosnian Serb government for its "official recognition
of the responsibility for the deliberate large-scale atrocities that
took place in Srebrenica".
The final report included information on the location of 34 mass graves
where some of the victims were presumed to have been buried, he said.
Exhumations from the sites had to be carried out, and the victims
had to be identified, Mr Fassier said.
So far, the remains of about 18,000 victims from different ethnic groups
who died in the war have been exhumed from more than 300 mass graves
across the country.
Nearly 1200 Srebrenica victims have been identified through DNA
analysis.
Not to mention the very real fear that this conflict could spill over the borders and ignite conflicts in surrounding Balkan countries.
How many wars had their start in the Balkans?
