I have never seen diplomats come so close to calling someone a bald-faced liar.
“It is astonishing that a man of his stature can utter such complete nonsense,” said the Dutch defense ministry spokesman, pointing out that international investigations of the Srebrenica massacre found no evidence “that the sexual orientation of soldiers played a role.” The Dutch ambassador to the United States said she “couldn’t disagree more” with Sheehan’s statement, and Dutch caretaker Defense Minister Eimert van Middelkoop called the claim “‘damaging’ and not worthy of a soldier. ‘I don’t want to waste any more words on it,’ he said.” Gen. Henk van den Breemen, Dutch Chief of Staff at the time of the Srebrenica genocide, added that Sheehan was spouting “total nonsense.”
Such a shock that a conservative would lie under oath. It would be one thing if the guy just said that he was made uncomfortable with gays in the ranks. OK, fine. Instead, he decides to just make stuff up, accusing officials of a foreign country of duplicity.
As far as I'm concerned, just like Bill Clinton was dragged through the much for lying over sex, this guy needs to be indicted for perjuring himself before Congress. Also, anyone who listens to anything this guys has to say should also be disregarded, at least on this subject.
