In an interview conducted on the eve of the publication of his memoirs, former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder defends Russian President Vladimir Putin and the right to criticize the policies of the United States without immediately being labelled "anti-American."

Wow ... Gerhard Schröder is so brave! It takes lots of courage to coddle Vladimir Putin and the Chinese commies and criticize the U.S. government... snark off.

[when the time is right]

This guy sure learned a lot from Clinton.

[Joe Boucher]

Gerhard turned his back on the U.S. to take Saddams oil money. He can eat pooh and die.

Memoirs, as in a has been.

[burzum]

A mere footnote in history. Keep on writing your memoirs Gerhard, since you never will be part of history again.

He took rather more of Putin's gas money, since he went to work for Gazprom right after he lost the recent election. But yeah he is a bought anti-American stooge.

[Joe Boucher]

Well that is his current gig,
Previously he led germany and france with hat in hand to Saddams Iraq and it's illegal and sleezy oil for food program.
Schroeder and the french puke would sell their grandmothers for a few bucks.
