Schroeder on his way out. Farewell Parade by Bundeswehr.Ms Merkel intends to return to the foreign policy doctrine that prevailed under Helmut Kohl, the last Christian Democrat chancellor. Mr Kohl managed to combine unwavering support for European integration - often in seeming contradiction to the national interest - with a firm commitment to transatlantic relations. It was this policy that made Germany, more than Britain, a diplomatic bridge between the US and the EU during his chancellorship.
Yep, she'll do her best to repair the damage done by that Sauerkraut Schroder.
