What galls me is that, even today, Schroeder and Fischer keep saying "We don't believe......."
There is no credibility.

Perhaps the next time the UN convenes, we ought to send Dr. Rice instead of Powell...and let her look at both the French and German representatives...and say 'we don't believe you are doing this on moral grounds....you're have to sign a statement that neither of your countries will ever get a contract or penny from Iraq if you want us to believe you'. Watch those idiots scratch their heads. I believe we need to let Dr. Rice take them both on...she is easily capable of blasting them in public and drawing blood.

Well, they can keep being soft on Iraq and possibly lose 25,000,000 Germans, or they can be tough on Iraq and protect Germany. But that means supporting the United States. And Red-Green watermelons Shroeder and Fischer can't fathom that. So, they risk 25,000,000 German men, women and children. How Red-Green of them.

Speaking for the US, I don't believe there is a credable threat right now for Germany. The German chancelor must be in possesion of the top intel for the best interests of Germany, I mean why else would say this? Therefore I beleive all 62,000 US troops and there families need to immediately be redeployed where they can act to protect those that have credable threats.

I know in the protective bubble of NATO, war is an abstract concept, where cells can leave from Hamburg but not strike it, but here (in reality) threats are more credable.
