#1 Did the lefties that Schroeder was sucking up to by being so all-fired anti-American know that the post-election suck-up to the U.S. would involve jamming Germany deeper into Afghanistan? Just curious.

#2 Hate to say it, but we might as well consign Germany to the same place we've consigned France -- certainly not an enemy, but also not a country you can count on when the going gets tough.

We shouldn't make it easy for Schroeder. We can be nice in public and otherwise give Schroeder the back of our hand. His first briefing on our plans for Iraq should take place in July, 2004 or so.

#3 Even better, publish every scrap of evidence showing how our "allies": France Germany, et al supplied Saddam with replacemnt parts, communications, armaments, and bio-chem-nuke knowhow, then refused to support us - saying there wasn't proof. Shift our bases to those who support us: the czechs, poles...

#4 Schroeder is used to dealing with other leftist politicians. If you say bad things about theem, you can make it right by offering an apology.

This time he's dealing with a politician who's a Texas good 'ole' boy first, politician second. Since the time that dueling was outlawed, Sothrons have had another way of dealing with insults. The offender becomes a non-person. Schroeder may not have fallen dead in a duel, but I'm willing to bet my authentic collection of Confederate money, that in Bush's eyes, he's just as dead.
