Oh, so the ones who secretly plot against us and give aid to our enemies (material and intel aid, no less) should be given a pass? Pul-leeze.

Well, and here we go again: Tell me, which material and what intel infos did the German gvt offer to the regime of Saddam Hussein (who, btw, still believes he were president of Iraq)?

If you continue to claim that Germany gave aid to your enemies, how do you call the the (then-present) NBC-defense-bataillon in Kuwait, the Patriot systems to Turkey and Israel, the (matter-of-course) grant of overflight rights, the protection of all US facilities on German soil by the German Army (for free, to make US personnel available for war)?? And where would you treat your wounded soldiers if not in Germany (in US military as well as German civilian hospitals near Ramstein AB)?

Thanks, but no thanks. I´m sick and tired of these allegations. It wasn´t a great time for the transatlantic relations, but it wasn´t hostile!

Maybe AtlanticFriend, if still here, can tell you something about the French position.

Germany certainly had its share of the oil for food graft. They were on the take from Saddam. Now why might that be, I wonder? So they could be good friends and allies with the U.S.? I suspect not.
