German president appeals to Iraq abductors for hostage release
2007-03-15
German President Horst Koehler on Wednesday appealed to kidnappers who seized a German woman and her son in Iraq last month to free the two hostages. "I appeal to you to release Frau Krause and her son promptly," the president said in a video message. So much innocent blood has flowed in Iraq ... Let the hostages return to their family." The video was due to be broadcast in Germany and throughout the Middle East on Wednesday.

#1  Meanwhile, are the Germans assembling their bags full of small, unmarked US dollar bills, as they have done in the past, to free their citizens and murder Iraqi and American soldiers?

I happened to have business with the DPA reporter who used to occasionally visit B'dad the shortly after Berlin had dispensed some huge wad of cash to free an earlier hostage. She was, to my satisfaction, livid almost beyond words. She understood that Berlin's craven and incompetent action had made any German an incredibly hot target, as well as put huge resources into the hands of barbaric criminals who were killing good people every day.

Seems like even when they are mere bystanders (OK, insolent narcissistic incompetent cowardly coddled dependent back-stabbing bystanders), the Germans are a force for evil. So the Morgenthau plan wouldn't have been a solution, either ....
