#1 Europeans' appetite for dead Americans isn't exactly limitless, but, they'd sure like to see a lot more dead than they have thus far. Despite their oft-repeated denials that they don't hate Americans, they hate our policies, at heart, pictures of dead Americans make them feel like the scales of international justice are in balance.

Schroeder just happens to be the European maitre d for this monrth.

#2 They still dont have a clue.

Cowards. More dead AMricans liek that means less dead Europeans. Consequently, Less dead Americans = more dead Europeans, by a large multiple.

WW1, WW2, Korea, GW1, Afghanistan, Iraq.

Maybe its time we just cut the continent (but not the Brits) loose except for our true allies who have stepped up (Poles and other Eastern Europeans, and the Italians).

Screw em. Treat them as hostile if thats how they want it. See who the better ally is: Us or France. I can guarantee you which one will put the knife in your back.

#3 Schroder, Germany?

Of course they hate us, we kicked their ass twice and occupied their country for Ummm, well we're still there.

Watch the hands, not the mouth.

#4 Won't work Oldspook, we "cut them loose" and we'll be fighting Germany in World War 3 inside of 20 years.

Gotta watch these backstabbers closely.

#5 Though I am for removing all troops from German soil I don't think we can any more. I now am for continuing the "occupation" of Germany. They are not reliable and can't be trusted. They are not our allies. They are not our friends. They can't be trusted. We have offered our friendship and this is just one more sign that Germans are not and will not be good friends. Friends who disagree with us act like Canada and the UK.

Their seems to me to be a national character defect to scape goat die AuÃenseiter for their problems. The others are currently The US and "new Europe". We are first on the list. Keep a boot on their neck to remind them we can, have and will turn their shitty little country into a pile of rubble again.

Before anyone goes off on a tanget on this both my wife and I are directly descended from German immigrants to the US. Screw Germany.

#7 Agreed, TGA, but 1) this was low and 2) it's going to be close, closer than it should be.

#8 The American ambassador should simply have commented that he is shocked that a German would do something so rude. The Germans are very keen on showing good manners, and using the dead in a political advertisement shows one to have been poorly brought up.

Good luck with the vote tomorrow, TGA. May the best [wo]man win!

#9 Sorry, didn't read through the article. Both the CDU sec-gen and an anonymous Western diplomat commented on the tastelessness of the campaign. Good.

#10 sorry TGA - but it shows that when we reflexically say "withdraw from overseas, particularly Germany) - there's good reason

#11 No withdrawal, boot on the neck, screw Germany, screw German Citizens. The vote is meaningless Merkel can't and will not change foreigh policy.
They are fat self indulgent swine who take us for fools. Beware of attempts to smooth talk us. They have and will continue to sell the United States out any chance they get. The Vote is meaningless.

#12 Having a bad day, SPoD? Now wipe the spittle off your chin and apologize to TGA.

#13 German Ally, I'l apologise to you if I've offended you, but I want to make sure that you understand that I'm talking about the German Politicians, and not the German peoples.
With the average German "On The Street" I have no quarrel at all.
