Get a Load of This Guy

Some Europeans are sounding more and more like Juche-Girl every day. Atlantic review is the blog of a group akin to Mensa, all the smart people on Star Trek with large crania, and your younger sibling who was always smarter that you were. Joerg seems to have found a real winner, and a Bavarian CSU guy named Peter Gauweiler at that, which makes his insane assertion prove himself to be unremediably “Coocoo for Coco Puffs”:

The military commitment in Afghanistan is on another, much firmer mandate of international-law than the American war in Iraq which is indisputably contrary to international law. Nevertheless one must be blind and deaf not to recognize that we in Afghanistan are actually “Irakifying” the war in the south.

The Bundestag did not give it a mandate, nor does our Basic Law doesn’t even make participation a possible. Mrs. Merkel must make clear to the Americans that it is not applicable for example that Americans can send German Federal Armed Forces as they are presently doing to the south of Afghanistan into confusing and catastrophic conditions. For example, they also want support from our Tornado fighters by calling in positions [ed.: to attack as ground air support, I would guess].

We must make clear to the Americans, or rather more precisely to the current American government, that there can be no difference in cultural efforts worldwide, and that everything isn’t automatically terrorism, and to exterminate whoever they’re able to as they did it with the Apache and the Sioux.

And Gauweiler thought the German Military was there just to observe and be supported no doubt, and that fighting meant never really having to fight well with other – something the soldiers themselves know well and are clear about.

So much for brave leadership. That the current American Administration didn’t fight the Apache and Sioux nations doesn’t seem to matter to him very much either. Whatever. Georg Strauch did it. Georg Strauch does everything.
