You explained it at the end of your sentence.
Plus, that would make everyone else upset, poor widdle babies.
Oh, dateline Paris. Got it.
Don't worry. Merkel is being diplomatic and saying what, in fact, is true: the ends don't justify the means.
But that in no way means, on its face, that she concludes the means undertaken by the U.S. to prosecute the war against Islamofascism are not justified.
It's like saying: "It's never appropriate for one to beat his wife." That's not the same thing as accusing one of wife-beating.
Yes, I'm very encouraged. As I posted on another thread, this basically shows that the Islamofascists know they can't hit us again, at least without triggering a massive retaliation.
At least so long as Bush as in office. Maybe they are waiting out the game in the big ring until after the prez election. Then they will reevaluate.
I contend that we should have left the rubble as a stark reminder. Next time you guys need some Lebensraum, do France first. OK?
I hear you.
But know that we are winning. We are a good people and a good nation and we are winning.
Success is the greatest revenge.
But I hear you, friend.
More like Germany accusing the US of genocide and human rights abuses. They do not have a spotless record regarding Poles and Jews and genocide/human rights, by the way.
"Why do people go into mental vapor-lock whenever Europe is mentioned?"
Because many there have turned into Globalist crapweasels and hate us because aside from the RAT party we are not following suit?
Dear France and Germany,
We have held you in cultural and linguistic servitude for a lifetime. Since you're not happy we're not heartbroken to turn your skinny white a$$es over to your new Muslim overlords. Enjoy your new dhimmitude you whiney, garlic breathed punks!
And keep your stupid tourists and cultural pilgrims out of my country!
Yep!! Ignorance is friggin' BLISS!!
Anyway, 2 sentences of Merkels speech are 'veiled critizism' of the US' unilateral politics approach of the last years. The rest is about compassion for the victims and the need for Democracies to stand together against this threat and also to use military force if necessary. But of course all of FR do their Tarzan routine again.
I don't care what "they" think. "They" are in for a big surprise when one morning they wake up and find out they are all in the Islamic Republic of Eurabia.......

In a video broadcast Monday, al-Qaida No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahri warned that Persian Gulf countries and Israel would be al-Qaida's next targets

Good! Rally all the Gulf States to the side of the USA!
H.G. Wells said it best.
"Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo."
Wow, then the world must be INTENSELY jealous of the Nazis.
I'll vote for you.
Man, I just wish there was some way he could be selective in whose asses he saves...I hate having their rights trod upon.
"Oderint dum metuant" - Let them hate so long as they fear.
You are entitled to your opinion, of course. I tend to see it more as our MSM trying to drive a wedge between us (here on FR) and our potential allies overseas. Even before Sept. 11th, 2001, they (and it) played into the "Bush is a rube" theme. The MSM continues to do so because it works, as evidenced by this thread.
Some humor on the subject ...
Political Science
by Randy Newman
No one likes us-I don't know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one and see what happens
We give them money-but are they grateful?
No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us-so let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them
Asia's crowded and Europe's too old
Africa is far too hot
And Canada's too cold
And South America stole our name
Let's drop the big one
There'll be no one left to blame us
We'll save Australia
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
We'll build an All American amusement park there
They got surfin', too
Boom goes London and boom Paree
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody free
You'll wear a Japanese kimono
And there'll be Italian shoes for me
They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop the big one now
Let's drop the big one now
