German troops 'hid like rabbits' in Kosovo riots

Aren’t these the people Kerry plans to somehow use to save Iraq?

[Guillermo]

If it weren't for the US, a batallion of Jihadists could probably take over Germany (and France, and Belgium).

[Malesherbes]

Col. Hintelmann: "We were just obeying orders."

Yes, Kerry thinks we could stabilize Iraq if we had German and French help (with the blessing of Coffee Inane.) In fact, the French would immediately surrender to the Germans who would then hide in the barracks "like frightened rabbits."

[Cicero]

This whole business has been a very well kept secret in the American press. For the past 60 years people have been killing and persecuting Christians all over the world, and they basically get a free pass from our press. Sudan is the most egregious, but it's common all over.

Generally speaking, frontline troops are usually brave enough, when it comes to facing the enemy. If they're running to avoid conflict in situations as ambiguous as in the Balkans, it's because they're afraid that they'll be in deep shit with their superiors and their own legal system, no matter what they might do.

And remember - the Germans haven't told the World Court to take a flying leap...

Somewhere Otto von Bismarck is turning in his grave.

So the German Bundeswehr hid under their bunks during a race riot in a sector they were in charge of, eh?

Well, that's fitting: The entire Dutch government resigned almost *ten years* after their soldiers allowed a massacre of 6,000+ civilians by the Serbs in 1995.

As political humorist P.J. O'Rourke once wrote, the UN's 'Blau Helmets' dress up in nursery colors and are too chicken to shoot back.

American soldiers, on the other hand, are accused of beating the crap out of the hostile combatants we've captured -- and that's just our tiny female soldiers I'm talking about.

I'll let the readers decide for themselves which is more outrageous, but given the choice between the two I'd prefer to stick with the winners and suffer the repercussions.

[CasearianDaoist]

I think that you mean the ICC, not the World Court. We are signatories to the World Court too. They are different organizations. You point is well taken though.

[Kenny Bunk]

Pingo from Kosovo.

[McGavin999]

WOW, perhaps we should be glad they refused to help in Iraq. How embarrassing.

[Destro]

and thanks to the US a band of Jihadis took over Kosovo.

[Destro]

If I was a Christian in the Balkans I would fear for my life if Americans protected me. I rather have Serbs protect me.

[Brimack34]

Send over Teddy and Mark Dayton and lets have some hearings.
It takes a coward to know a Coward.

[CzarNicky]

I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing but the fight seems to have gone out of Germany since Hitler killed himself.

[Hoplite]

I rather have Serbs protect me.

Then move to Serbia.

Seriously. You should go where your heart is, not stick around where you're constantly embarrassing yourself in front of your fellow citizens who do things like point out that your heroes murder Catholic clergy and destroy Christian Churches in greater numbers than any other group when they think they can get away with it.

[Destro]

America has protected ZERO Christians anywhere in the Balkans. Under NATO "protection" Islam has risen and Christianity has retreated in the Balkans. The USA has not even been an honest broker - even handedly keeping peace there.

Hey Hoplite, any more Christian killing Muslim terrorists let out of Camp Bondsteel these days????

[Destro]

Last I looked the Krajina is Serb free. So it seems America favors one form of Christian over the other as well.

[Hoplite]

Yeah. America sucks.

All the more reason for you to move to Serbia and be amongst your fellow travellers.

You leave no doubt where your loyalties lie, and they are not with America.

The ultimate in effeminate decadence is not the fear of being killed or injured, it is the fear of inflicting pain or being unfair. This fear permeates the ENTIRE west.
