Anyway, and this is a serious question: Is it possible, if not probable, that the president of Croatia, Franjo Tuđman, or some other Croatian politician, let the Massacre of Vukovar happen on purpose? That's a point that's often being discussed in the Croatian media, for example, here or here.
I really like how Mile Dedaković put it for BBC: "Ja vjerujem gospodinu predsjedniku Tuđmanu da je on to naoružanje poslao. Ali činjenica je da mi to naoružanje... nismo dobili!". That means: "I believe that the president Tuđman sent the weapons to us. But the fact remains that those weapons... weren't delivered to us!". It kinda summarizes the whole point. It's not that Croatia didn't have the weapons. It's not that the Serbian side was abundant in weapons either, the Vukovar Hospital Massacre was done by an illegal army assembled by Željko Ražnatović. So what happened to those weapons? Did the president Franjo Tuđman refuse to send those weapons? If so, why? Did those weapons somehow get intercepted by some Serbian illegal army, so that it somehow didn't go on record? Or was perhaps Mile Dedaković colluding with Ražnatović, and he somehow hid those weapons?
What do you think? As far as I know, there is no official explanation for what happened to the weapons the president supposedly sent.
