BERLIN — President Horst Koehler stunned Germans by resigning yesterday after being criticized for appearing to link military deployments abroad with the country’s economic interests — creating a new headache for Chancellor Angela Merkel....
Ah, the RETURN of the GERMAN WAR MACHINE, great!
Koehler, a member of Merkel’s Christian Democrats, cited a week of criticism over a radio interview he gave following a visit to German troops in Afghanistan.
In that broadcast, he said for a country with Germany’s dependency on exports, military deployments could be “necessary . . . in order to defend our interests, for example free trade routes.’’
Oh, so THAT is why YOUR KIDS are DYING in the MOUNTAINS of AFGHANISTAN, huh, Germans?
Not for the fight against "terrorists" but to SECURE ENERGY PIPELINES and SUPPORT the MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, hanh?
That was taken by many as relating to Germany’s unpopular mission in Afghanistan, although his office later said he was referring to antipiracy patrols off the coast of Somalia.
Yeah, AFTER VISITING AFGHANISTAN!
And it ain't working to good because Somalia (and Israeli) pirates are having a banner year!
Germans are often uneasy about deployments abroad, given the country’s militaristic past, and the mission in Afghanistan makes many particularly uncomfortable....
Translation: NORMAL PEOPLE WANT PEACE!
It is ONLY the PSYCHOPATHIC WAR MONGER$ that want CONTINUED WAR$ over DAMNABLE LIE$, folks!
CUI BONO?
