| Schroeder Attempts To Rebuild U.S. Ties |
| 2003-05-10 |
| Too little too late Schroeder. Now let's remove our troops from Germany and deploy them in eastern Europe. Citing a "vital friendship" between Germany and the United States, Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder tried today to rebuild relations that fell to post-World War II lows in bitter exchanges of rhetoric over the invasion of Iraq. In a speech to mark the 100th anniversary of the American Chamber of Commerce in Germany, Schroeder stressed common values of the two societies and said that any debate over a unipolar or a multipolar world — terms of art in European misgivings about the exercise of American power — were counterproductive.

| #4 Sure, he remembers the "vital friendship" now. I'll recognize "common values" with TGA, but not with Schroeder or his ilk. Sneakin, conivin', back-stabbin' jerks! TGA, you guys are going to have to elect a new team -- Schroeder's never going to visit the ranch. |

| #3 Keep trying, Schroeder and your anti-American partners. You're gonna fall on your knees many more times. OT: I recently convinced my mother to NOT buy a new German car. She's not going to support the other weasels either. |

| #2 âSchroeder recently said he regretted his "exaggerated remarks" during last year's reelection campaign, although they tapped into widespread pacifist sentiment and helped secure his victory.â Now that Iâve reaped the benefits from employing anti-Americanism as a campaign tool, I regret having to face the consequences. âSchroeder said today that Germany should never be forced to make "the foolish choice" between the United States and France, which led the opposition to the war.â It was those darn German voters -- they forced me to choose France, really! |
