Well there's a surprise.

Bump!

I have to agree with the the goofy germans here. The tape was pure propaganda to rally the idiot zealots. If we were attacking Saudi Arabia, he would've said basically the same thing.

"Socialists are infidels wherever they are," the [bin Laden] voice says.

Hey Krauts, are you just going to sit back and let this guy insult you?

I'm all for bombing every Muslim country off the face of the earth, but for Powell to cite this as proof of a link makes him look like he's grasping.

"It does not hurt that in current circumstances, the interests of Muslims coincide with the interests of the socialists in the war against crusaders."

The Voice on the Bin Laden Tape said that? I thought it was one of the 'anti-war' protestors... oops... ;0)

[OldFriend]

The germans are using slick willie's dictionary. Giving new meaning to the words, it all depends on the meaning of 'alone'.

'PARIS-- In a stunning reversal of policy, French President Jacques Chirac announced today that the French government will be supporting the 'War on Terror' after all. Five hundred soldiers from the elite Battalion du Specialistes d'Abandonnement of France's Armees de la Terre are preparing for movement to Iraq, where they will advise the Iraqi Republican Guards on their impending surrender to the American Armed Forces.

"Eet eez important to be haughty and insufferable when surrendering," said Colonel Philippe Marie-Jeane Yves-Montand Gauloise du Pepee, Commanding Officer of the Surrender Battalion, who has personally surrendered in countless battles dating back to Dien Bien Phu in 1954. "We French are world masters at surrendering, n'est ce pas? Not like you arrogant Americans, who never surrender. Ha! I spit on your feelthy American victories!"

President Chirac also announced that his government will be sending 3000 advisors from the elite Force du Collaborateurs Francaise to assist the Iraqis in avidly collaborating with the Americans, while pretending to be part of a non-existent resistance movement.

Thanks for the post Ivan

Germany: Tape doesn't link Iraq, al Qaida


...and ducks don't quack.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Germany: Tape doesn't link Iraq, al Qaida.

Germany: The Moon is just the Sun at night.

[EGPWS]

Germany said Wednesday a tape the United States claims ties Osama bin Laden to Saddam Hussein does not prove "links" between al Qaida and Iraq.

I'm really at a loss with the Germans(in a perturbed way) as to why they are being so ridiculously reluctant to see the obvious. It has to be more than just politics as usual or even an extreme hatred of the US. Why are they so reluctant to a government change in Iraq? Something is going on behind the scenes prompting the Germans to look so ridiculous in their firm stance against ousting Saaddam.

[desertcry]

It looks like the ultra-liberal german press is begining to see a few rays of light into their leftist black hole agenda. They are actually admitting that there are consequences of their hateful actions and posture against the USA, and NATO.

This from the people who never had any idea what was really going on in all those camps.

Germany: Pictures of Hussein and Bin Laden in Hot Tub Looking Over Plans for H-Bomb Does Not Prove Link Between Iraq, Al-Quaeda"

[cake_crumb]

"BERLIN, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- Germany said Wednesday a tape the United States claims ties Osama bin Laden to Saddam Hussein does not prove "links" between al Qaida and Iraq."

Translation: "(Bush administration official here) did not make the case against Iraq."

Totally as expected.

I despise Yasser, Saddam's lap puppy, but AT LEAST HE HAD THE CAJONES TO COME OUT HIMSELF AND DENY ANY LINKS BETWEEN PA TERRORISTS AND USAMA.

...While Saddam contents himself with a Hitler-style propaganda machine to make his alleged case FOR him.

In a side note, now that I've written that, and will again, how long do you expect before an official statment from Saddam denies any links to Binny and says "NO THANKS, WE DON'T HAVE ANY TIES OR WANT AL QAEDA HERE"?

[cake_crumb]

"The Sueddeutsche Zeitung argued the government had its priorities wrong. It suggested that instead of blocking the NATO move, Germany could have sent troops to Turkey while opposing Washington's Iraq policy."

Now THAT would make sense. Now it's too late, because if Gerhardt suddenly changes his tune and becomes all logical and rational and does this, it can be attributed to the arguments of the Sueddeutsche Zeitung.

"Germany: Tape doesn't link Iraq, al Qaida"
Right...and there was no link between German Nazis and the concentration camps.
