Attention, Dick Cheney: Don’t the Germans Know We’re At War?
By Harry Shearer Huffington Post
While the Cheneys, father and daughter, continue to hammer away at the accusation that the Obama administration has a “mindset” problem because it (sometimes) chooses to deal with terrorists through the criminal justice system, another bullet-hole has been leveled at their argument by, of all nations, Germany.
This isn’t France that chose to try terrorist suspects in a civilian criminal court. This is big bad Germany. And these were not just any terrorists. The judge in the case declared,
they had dreamed of “mounting a second September 11 2001″ by killing US civilians and soldiers by bombing targets like Ramstein Air Base.
They were accused of operating as a German cell of the radical al-Qaeda-linked group, the Islamic Jihad Union.
In Cheneyworld, that would be an act of war. So why aren’t the Cheneys attacking the German government for its “mindset” problem? Because they have no political interest in weakening that administration, and they do in attacking the American administration. Or they’re more scared of Angela Merkel than they are of Barack Obama.

Having served in Germany, I was amazed by how many of thier people still don’t know why We are there or that They had lost the war. What are these people teaching thier children? Nothing?
those People have thought their Children that no Country can survive on War alone, more than Americans ever will learn, that is why you are over there and not a contributing Member to your own scociety. military is not a contributing force, but a depleting one. this is why Germany is on top of the industrialiced world and the good old USA will soon depend on Soup Kitchens. this is why Germany fas social Structures and the USA is being bled dry by greedy insurance Companies. you are asking who has learned a lesson ??
