"US leader fails to win over Germans"

That's because winning over Germans requires tanks, amphibious invasions and air raids.

"...Germany is no longer an importer of security, we're an exporter of security."

LOL...is that a reference to Rumsfeld's looming troop realignments?

I was sitting in a coffee shop one day during the Elian Gonzalez controversy. A German tourist took a seat at the table next to me. As he read the paper about the furor created by the possibility of sending Elian back to Cuba, he began a loud complaint so everyone could here. He said it showed how self-righteous America was - typically American.

Now, I am generally not into "manners", but when I go to a foreign country I don't make it a point to insult the country and its citizens in a loud manner. But Mr. Kraut did want everyone in provincial America to know he thought himself morally and philosophically superior to his American hosts.

Not anymore. Pull our troops out of Germany and their economy will go into a free fall!

Don't they have a 12% unemployment rate right now?
Man, it takes some serious socialist shenanigans to do that much damage.

No truer words were ever said. Whether it is Nazi's or Leftest, they are push overs for ideologues. Hopefully it doesn't take another ass kicking to get them on a straight path.

Screw Europe! The Germans don't like any war that they don't start and the French have a long policy of "Surrender first and ask questions later". We should focus our friendship on the appreciative, newly free, former Communist blocs countries and not on the manipulative whiners and thieves of "Old Europe".

And even more fortunately, the other 48% are by and large far too scared of guns to arm themselves.
