Obama Will Not Travel to Germany for 20th Anniversary of Fall of Berlin Wall
2009-11-05
President Obama will not travel to Germany to mark the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9.
White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs said today that President Obama's schedule will not allow for a visit to Germany.

"Obviously, we have a lot to work on here and we have commitments for an upcoming Asia trip," Gibbs said.
Butt-hurt because Merkel wouldn't let him speak at the Brandenburg Gate during the campaign?

#5  Compare wid TOPIX > HARAKAT-UL-JIHAD-ISLAM BANGLADESH.

Pro-AL QAEDA Bangla Islamist Group in alleged collusion wid IM = ISLAMIC MANCHE [Islamic Aasociation] movement which desires to etsablish REGIONAL PRO-ISLAMIST CALIPHATE COMPRISING BANGLADESH, ASSAM NORTH BEGAL, + BURMA'S/
MYANMAR'S ARAKAM PROVINCE.

..."We are all TALIBAN, and BANGLADESH WILL BE AFGHANISTAN... AMERICA + BUSH MUST BE DESTROYED".

** SAME > AL- SUMUD MAGZ Artic > JOIN MUSLIM ASIA, OR PERISH: TALIBAN SAYS TO AUSTRALIA.

Vow LAND OF OZ won't be beheaded, Oz may actually prosper = be wealthy under Islam???

ARTIC > AUSTRALIA faces being OVERWHELMED BY WAVES AFTER WAVES OF ASIANS = "POPULATION OVERSPILL" FROM ASIA.


versus


WORLD NEWS > PALAU MAY TAKE [GITMO UIghur] DETAINEES, BUT MAY DEPORT OTHER MUSLIMS [200-300 alleged illegal workers of Palau's approxi 500-strong, predomin BANGDALESHI MUSLIM community]; + TINY PALAU URGES AUSTRALIA TO RESETTLE GUANTANANMO UIGHURS.

TALIBAN = "OR ELSE"??? See as per above ala OZ + Taliban threat to join Muslim Asia [Nukulaar?].

FYI, ARTIC > PALAU says UIGHURS are not forced to stay or reside in PALAU - THEY CAN GO ANYWHERE [IMO read, GUAM-CNMI].

IMO just one more NEW reason, among many PAST, for GUAM DELEGATE MADELEINE BORDALLO, GOVERNOR CAMACHO, + GUAM LEGISLATURE [GUAM PDN FORUM'S so-called HOUSE OF HESSLER Street] to SERIOUSLY S-E-R-I-O-U-S-L-Y SEEEEEERRRRIIIIOOUUSSSLLYY - you know, SEEERUSLY - FORMAL SELF-DTERMINATION VOTE ON FINAL POLITICAL STATUS IWD USA + USMARINES RELOC. from OKinawa.

D *** NGED LOST [future ARMED?] TOURISTS!

#3  You said it Glenmore.

Gibbs added that the White House will soon announce a U.S. delegation to attend the ceremonies in Germany instead.

I wonder who's going to draw the short straw?
