The 1995 Blog Downed Pilot Eludes Serbs; Americans Take Notice Of The 1995 Blog Downed pilot eludes Serbs; Americans take notice of Bosnia The war that tore apart Bosnia in 1992-95 was Europe’s deadliest and most vicious since the time of the Nazis. It was a war that returned “ethnic cleansing” to the world’s vernacular, a war that claimed 100,000 lives. Yet, few Americans were familiar or conversant with the dynamics or complexities of a conflict that pied Bosnian Muslims against ethnic Serbs against ethnic Croats. Nearly 80 percent of Americans responding to a nationwide survey in January 1993 gave the wrong answer, or said they did not know, which ethnic group had conquered most of Bosnia and had encircled the capital, Sarajevo. Only one respondent in five in that survey correctly identified the Serbs. But early June 1995 brought a rare occasion when Americans did turn sustained aention to Bosnia. And that, as I note in my latest book, 1995: The Year the Future Began, was when Captain Sco F. O’Grady, a U.S. Air Force pilot, was shot down over western O'Grady_cropped2 O’Grady, after the rescue Bosnia on a routine surveillance mission, enforcing the NATO no-fly zone over Bosnia. At first, it was unclear whether O’Grady, 29, had survived the destruction of his F-16C fighter jet, which a Soviet-made Serb surface-to-air missile blasted from the sky on June 2, 1995. Soon, intercepted radio transmissions indicated that the Serbs had found O’Grady’s parachute and were looking for the downed pilot. O’Grady later likened himself to a “scared lile bunny rabbit,” and said: “Most of the time, my face was in the dirt, just praying that no one would see me.” He eluded his would-be Serb captors, moving stealthily at night, sleeping lile, drinking rainwater, and eating plants and insects after his rations ran out. Early on June 8, 1995, a voice transmission from his radio, in his code name “Basher 52,” was picked up by a squadron mate flying overhead. As I discuss in 1995, a massive rescue mission soon was set in motion from the USS Kearsarge, an amphibious assault ship in the Adriatic Sea. Forty warplanes and support aircraft, including Navy CH-53E Super Stallions assault helicopters with Marines aboard, were sent to find O’Grady, deep in Serb-controlled territory. As the aircraft approached, O’Grady set off an emergency flare and its yellow smoke guided the Super Stallions to a clearing he had selected. He darted from a hiding place with pistol in hand and fear in his eyes. “I’m ready to get the hell out of here,” O’Grady shouted as he was pulled aboard one the helicopters. They were on the ground only a few minutes. Within an hour or so, O’Grady was on the Kearsarge, receiving treatment for minor injuries and dehydration. Word of his rescue reached Washington around 1 in the morning on June 8. President Bill Clinton and his national security adviser, Anthony Lake, broke out cigars to celebrate the news, lighting up on the Truman balcony at the White House. (Lake later recalled that they smoked “very quietly,” so as not to awaken the First Lady, Hillary Rodham Clinton.) For Clinton, O’Grady’s rescue was “a bit of positive news from the protracted Bosnian debate, in which critics have increasingly accused the Administration of policy drift and failure,” as the New York Times observed. Later, Clinton placed a call to O’Grady, telling the rescued pilot, “The country was on pins and needles, but you knew what you were doing. “The whole country is elated.” Public interest in Bosnia did surge, if for a while. The Times-Mirror Center for the People and the Press reported that 22 percent of respondents to its survey released in mid-June 1995 said they followed news about the conflict “very closely,” compared to just 11 percent three months earlier. The O’Grady case was an important contributing factor, the polling organization said. Clinton, though, still faced criticism by Democrats and Republicans alike for failing to retaliate against the Serbs for downing a U.S. warplane, as I note in 1995. Disarray and confusion seemed to characterize the administration’s policy on Bosnia. Then-U.S. Senator John Kerry, for example, described Clinton’s approach to Bosnia as “a muddle-through, wish and hope policy.” Clinton was loath to commit U.S. ground forces to the Balkans and, from the early days of his presidency, had deferred to European leaders to seek a negotiated solution to the war. Despite several aempts, the Europeans failed. What finally stirred the Clinton administration was the massacre in July 1995 at the UN safe haven of Srebrenica, where some 8,000 Muslim men and boys were killed by Bosnian Serb forces that overran the town. An uproar about Clinton’s dithering arose from across the U.S. political spectrum, forcing his administration to take the initiative in ending the war. Weeks of shule diplomacy in the Summer and Fall 1995, led by an assistant U.S. secretary of state named Richard C. Holbrooke, gave rise to U.S.-sponsored negotiations in November 1995 at Wright- Paerson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio. The talks, which brought together the leaders of Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia, lasted three weeks and, as I discuss in 1995, at almost the final moment produced an agreement to end the war. Three years after his rescue, O’Grady retired from the military and began a career as a motivational speaker. He occasionally has made headlines, as when he took legal action over a 2001 film, Behind Enemy Lines, that seemed to have been based on his ordeal in Bosnia in 1995. He also sued over a Discovery Channel docudrama that was more clearly drawn from his downing and rescue. Neither the film nor the docudrama was made with his permission, O’Grady charged. And he objected to the portrayal in Behind Enemy Lines of a foul- mouthed pilot who disregarded orders. Both cases were seled privately.

  • President Harry Truman Liked to Refer to His Wife, Bess, As the Boss
    CSPAN/FIRST LADIES BESS TRUMAN JUNE 9, 2014 11:34 a.m. ET SUSAN SWAIN, HOST: President Harry Truman liked to refer to his wife, Bess, as the boss. Family was her number-one priority. She had little to say to the media, destroyed many of her letters, and spent a good part of her White House years home in Missouri. Bess Truman served as first lady on her own terms. Good evening, and welcome to C-SPAN's continuing series, "First Ladies: Influence and Image.” Tonight, the story of the wife of the 33rd president of the United States, Bess Truman. Here to tell us more about her are two guests. We're very pleased to welcome back to our set Bill Seale, who is a White House historian. His latest book is called "The Imperial Season," coming out on November 12th. A little plug for you there, Bill. WILLIAM SEALE, AUTHOR: Yes, thank you. SWAIN: Nicole Anslover is a history professor and the author of a biography of Harry Truman called "The Coming of the Cold War.” Thanks for being here. Nice to meet you. NICOLE ANSLOVER, PROFESSOR OF HISTORY: Thank you. SWAIN: Well, where we left off last week was the death of Franklin Roosevelt. April 12, 1945, the call comes in to Harry Truman. Where is he? Then he gets the message that he's needed. ANSLOVER: He's having a drink with his cronies, as he was often want to do. He thought a lot of politics was accomplished by relaxing and having a somewhat more cordial atmosphere.

  • Hello Dolley! and Jackie and Mamie and Nancy....A Brief History of Showing 'Skin' in the White House
    Carl Sferrazza Anthony Historian of the National First Ladies' Library Posted March 2, 2009 | 07:04 PM (EST) The Huffington Post Hello Dolley! And Jackie and Mamie and Nancy....A Brief History of Showing 'Skin' In The White House As far as her wearing a sleeveless dress, Michelle Obama revives a bit of a retro in posing for her first official White House photo portrait. The only other First Lady to be photographed in sleeveless clothing for their official picture was the self-defined hostess, housekeeper and wife of a Republican president who reigned in the conservative Fifties -- Mamie Eisenhower. Otherwise, the fuller length image, set in a distinct area of the White House (the Blue Room) is traditional, in line with those of Betty Ford on the Truman Balcony, Pat Nixon in the East Room, Nancy Reagan in the Red Room, and Lady Bird Johnson in front of the fountain on the South Lawn. Others (Jacqueline Kennedy, Rosalynn Carter, Barbara Bush, Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush) chose headshot portraits. To those familiar with some First Lady history, there is something humorous in the current so-called "debate" about how much publicly-exposed skin is "socially acceptable" by First Ladies. Although currently driven by women's, celebrity and clothing media, it's been a debate since practically the start of the presidency. When Dolley Madison (1809-1817) famously wore her low-cut dresses that showed off her shoulders and the top of her bosom, former First Lady Abigail Adams snidely remarked in a private letter that Mrs. Madison looked like "a nursing mother." There was a famous anecdote about Dolley Madison encountering an old friend who, like her, had been a Quaker, but left the faith.
