German industrial giant Siemens has hired the American general fired for criticizing US President Barack Obama in public—to head up its attempt to get more US government contracts.

General Stanley McChrystal was in charge of US troops in Afghanistan when comments he made saying the army was unprepared for the war there, were published in Rolling Stone magazine, after which he was sacked.

Now he has been appointed as chairman of the board for the newly-created Siemens Government Technologies in Washington, the Süddeutsche Zeitung reported.

The move is part of Siemens’ strategy to try to double its $1 billion a year business with the US government by 2015, the paper said. …

Sicne we already sold China our secrets, we might as well sell them to the Germans as well.

I'll be damned - Obam has created one high-paying job.

He probably wants a do-over...

[DallasDeb]

Ahhh, a new lobbyist.

[Perdogg]

They make good panelboards and have factories in RED states (SC and TX).

[driftdiver]

Thats a different division of Siemens. These guys do Govt contracting.

[sagar]

He is a private citizen. If he can influence contracts and other companies can’t, then boo hoo too bad. Can’t compete?

Economic liberty and so-called “crony” capitalism are same thing.

[throwback]

Crony capitalism in full bloom. Siemens is seeking more government contract money. Business continues as usual.

[Iron Munro]

Siemens is putting their money on McChrystal so it sounds like they are betting Barack won’t be around much longer.

[MestaMachine]

Incest.

[MestaMachine]

mcchrystal agrees with i0bama. He just ran his mouth to the wrong peeps at the wrong time.

[orinoco]

[sam_paine]

“Nussen!”

[haircutter]

"Sicne we already sold China our secrets, we might as well sell them to the Germans as well."

Well first of all, you should try to write it this way, "Sicne Since we already sold China our secrets"

An' second the US got more secrets from WWII Germany than We'll ever get from YOU.

Think; Jet engines

Infrared night vision (IR technologies were mostly all developed during the Third Reich. They had "night vision" devices on tanks and rifles, while the Allies were still wondering if such things were possible. )

Assault rifle

Postal ZIP code

Interstate road system (autobahns)

Smart bomb (Missile technology: Ground-to-ground, air-to-air, air-to-ground, ground-to-air, ship-to-ship, etc., using wire guidance, TV guidance, IR guidance.)

ICBM (V2)

Cruise missile (V1)

NASA was run by WWII German scientists. Now run by one of Holders people for the benefit of making MUZZIES feel better about them selves.

Synthetic fuel (The Fischer-Tropsch process to produce synthetic fuels)

The first manned rocket flight

Stealth technolgy was invented by the Horten brothers flying wing

Audio technology using magnetic tape

Management systems for keeping massive and complex development programs on track.

The Wankel engine

Modern sewer treatment facilities are all derived from Third Reich technology

While the Englishman, Farnsworth, gets credit for the invention of a very rudimentary television, it was the Third Reich that perfected television and conducted the first broadcasting.

The intial "invention" of the Third Reich that made everything possible was the breaking away from the international banking system, which made its money on debt finance; i.e., usury. This act was probably the most important event which caused WWII to later occur. In the Thirties the German economy was booming and all sorts of new humane benefits were granted to workers. Elsewhere, deep economic depression was underway, and Roosevelt, for instance, really couldn't get things to moving until we went into a war economy mode. HUMMMM, New York Bankers cut out of a BOOOMING economy!

Even your A10 Warthog Tank killer -a modern day equivalent of the Junkers Ju 87 "Stuka" dive bomber with 3.7 cm anti-tank guns under the wings.

300,000 patents and copyrights were expropriated from Germany by the Allies

[wolfman23601]

LOL, so Hitler was innocent, running a great ethical, country and FDR needed a war to appease the Jew bankers in NYC? The murder of Catholics and Jews and the invasions of Poland, Russia, Greece, France and England had nothing to do with it? Or let me guess, none of that actually happened? The universities, banks, and Western governments are infiltrated by Jews, who worte and brainwashed the Western world into revisionist history?

Probably just means more useless windmills for us.
