He = Schröder

[Blood of Tyrants]

Details? Kerry plans on helping German, France, Russia, and other "allies" bury the "Oil for Bribes" program. Then he plans on buying them off, prostrating himself before them, and kissing their asses.

Kerry is the whore in high school who let all the boys have their way with her so they would like her.

Here's a starting point - go through these and if Germany comes up clean please let me know. I will not be holding my breath. ;-)

[antaresequity]

You made some serious claims. Could you please provide evidence that Germany has been involved in the oil for food scandal,

Follow the money Einstein...Germany and France ARE NOT ALLIES...complicit POS's

[antaresequity]

If France and Germany want to back into the freedom coalition...they can bend over and KMA...for starters...I don't need either one of them to know we are virtuous...we are freedom...we are liberty

No one can hold a candle to the United States...get a clue

[Fedora]

The alliance Kerry misses most is FDR's alliance with Stalin.

[Elsie]

...the average person who is becoming very very war weary.

What?

Are you NUTS?

Kerry: "It's time to put away pride..."

What a loser. Telling Americans and their president not to be proud, to grovel to the likes of Chirac.

The list of alleged beneficiaries includes a senior UN official and top French, Indonesian and Russian politicians.

To summarize it briefly here, however, a program that was meant to underpin sanctions against Saddam Hussein's Iraq by moderating its effects on innocent Iraqis with humanitarian aid became a joint venture by Saddam, senior U.N. officials, and public figures in Security Council member states such as France and Russia to divert many billions in oil revenues into their various pockets; to bribe governments, companies, and individuals in Saddam's behalf; to establish a network of corrupt cronies beholden to Saddam around the world; to build up Saddam's machinery of war and oppression in Iraq; and to do little or nothing for the ordinary Iraqis who were the poster children for the entire enterprise.

My country comes clean up, we had nothing to do with the oil for food thing.
But I realized long ago that facts does not matter. Many here cannot and will not understand that Germanys opposition to the war in Iraq had nothing to do with economy, hiding things or something like that. It was Schröders pure emergency exit from the polls which already have seen him as the loser of last elections. Well, Iraq and floodings in large parts of the country lead to his narrow re-election. That´s all. It was just a political thing, and you will never find any government-authorized arms deals with Iraq, etc.

I know, it´s easier to make a country looking bad if you can put some criminal or corrupt behaviour on its government...

[Michael81Dus]

Surely Germany is no ally. They don´t even have a right to another opinion. Germany has stood at Americas side since 1945, and vice versa, and now that they did not back the war, they´re POS! Absolutely. Nothing else counts.

I can understand maybe before 9/11, but what is significant about '99?

[Elsie]

The Clinton ERA?

Are you refering to the Byrd-Hagel resolution? here is the vote..

Thanks for that. MY guess the non-voters weren't there, no "no" votes at all, amazing. The way it's covered you would think it was only the "evil" ones (Republicans)holding the whole world back from the great progress Kyoto offers, WHAT BUNK.

[Tunehead54]

I stand corrected. I guess with France & Germany taking the same UN positions, Germany became tarred with the same brush mentally when the Oil For Food outrage started leaking out. Again, my apologies. ;-)

For reference here's an FR thread on the List of 270:

The Beneficiaries of Saddam's Oil Vouchers: The List of 270

[EQAndyBuzz]

"The Massachusetts senator, who voted for the congressional resolution authorizing Bush to use force in Iraq (news - web sites), has since charged the president rushed to war without adequate international help or a plan to win the peace."

The esteemed Senator authorized the President to go to war than tells the world the President rushed to war.

This guy is a freaking moron. Which explains why the RATS love him.

[Michael81Dus]

I´m glad that you understand it know! :-) I can´t expect more.

Be seeing you, and best regards across the Ocean,

Michael

[Michael81Dus]

know = now! I´m sorry.
