U.S. Admiral Boorda, Jew, conspired in genocide on Serbs
Highest-ranking Jew buried at Arlington is Adm.
Jeremy Michael Boorda, chief of naval operations, who killed himself in 1996 amid
revelations that he had worn medals to which he was not entitled.
As commander of NATO forces in southern Europe,
Boorda was in charge of a NATO air strike against four Bosnian Serb aircraft flying
in violation of a U.N. ban on fixed-wing flights. It was the first time a NATO
commander had ordered alliance forces on an offensive mission in its 44-year history.
As Secretary of Defense I relied on Mike's advice.
Indeed we first met during a security crisis when the Bosnian Serbs began shelling
Sarajevo in defiance of a NATO ultimatum. As we weighed the allied response, Mike's
advice -- respond with force -- carried the day. And it was Mike's combat leadership
that directed the air strikes that stopped the killing and started Bosnia on the path
to peace.
