Chancellor Angela Merkel pledged Monday that there would be no repeat of last year's "chaotic" border opening to refugees, after a stinging loss for her party in Berlin elections.

Even as she defended the "political and ethical" decision to let in one million asylum seekers in 2015 in the face of a potential humanitarian catastrophe, Merkel admitted mistakes that she would avoid in future.
"If I could, I would turn back time many, many years to better prepare myself, the federal government and all those in positions of responsibility for the situation we were rather unprepared for in the late summer of 2015," Merkel said.
Merkel, who has been in office since 2005, was speaking to reporters after a dismal showing for her conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) in Berlin state elections Sunday, two weeks after a drubbing for the party in another regional poll.
In an unusually frank opening statement, Merkel said the errors included a long-standing refusal to accept Germany's transformation in the postwar decades into a multicultural society.

Establish a safe zone in Syria. Repatriate them all.
Lying female dog...
What does “unprepared” really mean ???
She cant be objecting to the amount of so called “refugees” coming into Germany...
she wants more...
How can this cow still be in office?
Another EPIC FAIL liberal idea that was not thought through.
“But it looked so good on paper!!!!”
This woman is an idiot.
Germany and Europe was unprepared for your incompetence, Merkel.
Even as she defended the “political and ethical” decision

It was her decision, based on her ideological views, not those of the people she is supposed to represent. Just like Obama, she operates in a vacuum. They are both elites who want to rule instead of govern with the consent of the people.
To put it differently, she thinks Germany should have been ready to take in all those refugees and more. In her mind, she is doing the right thing, but German welfare system cannot cope with it.
Sorry Angie no one believes you. You are only saying this because you had your arse handed to you by the voters in your country that rejected you. Up until that point I never heard you utter anything even remotely similar to these mutterings you are now trying to pass off. Too little too late to be believable in even the slightest of ways.
If only hundreds of thousands of her citizens and dozens of media outlets had warned her.
Hang her high.
Or establish a zone of any kind, drop them off with some swords and pistols and let them fight for their own country.
“We”...who is we? You are in charge. Stop hiding behind the universal “we”....you coward,
I would bet no more than .05 percent of the refugees in Germany are Christian. The liberals of the world are killing it.
When are the elections so the Germans get rid of her?
The Germans must be getting close to a tipping point. I’m surprised they have stupidly put up with the Muslim migration as long as they have. When they finally say “enough is enough” you better look out.
She told the Germans who were objecting to her “Love the Muslims” policy to stick it in their ear. Same policy as Obama.
Angela Merkel has learned taqiya well.
Is there a recall process? A ‘no confidence ‘ vote?
How can this cow still be in office?

That is confounding. How can the German people tolerate this woman after all of the havoc she has caused?
