Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Col. Eli McNulty claims that the Basques "want a state, like the Serbs and the Kurds". Serbia, however, won her independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1878 and the Serbs where the dominant ethnic group during the time that this country was merged into Yugoslavia (1918-2003).
