#1 Sure it wasn't Col. Klink?

#2 Frankly, everyone with good will in Germany is puzzled.

If that's an Obama plot to boost the Commies... well done.

#3 "If that's an Obama plot to boost the Commies... well done."

Whaddaya mean "if," EC?

That's pretty much Bambi's fall-back position.

#4 The day after the Left (Die Linken, ex East German Commies) polled 4% stronger and the CDU/FDP lost absolute majority.

They may deny it like hell but we might face a dark red/green coalition in a few weeks.

Finally you have the Germans realizing that this is a war and act accordingly and then you stab them in the back?

#5 "realizing that this is a war and act accordingly and then you stab them in the back?"

That's Bambi's fall-back position, too, EC. Sorry.

Does it help to realize that he's busy stabbing his fellow US citizens in the back, too? :-(

#6 But we've got better relations with our EUropean allies now that we treat them the same way they treat us.

#7 It is "completely clear" that Klein did not respect decision-making procedures, a high-ranking German NATO officer told the daily.

This report is from The Local, "Germany's news in English". We didn't do this to you, European Conservative, although I agree it stinks to high heaven.

The problem is, as Shinerong Flomonter6687 states, If it is indeed the official policy of NATO that the life of a NATO soldier is worth less than the life of an Afghan illegal combatant war criminal Taliban civilian

#8 I look forward to the final report on this thing, although that probably won't placate the light-minded among the German voters.
