Not nearly as Schlau as they Look

Germans, despite the official declaration, remain entranced with that Obama magic that never existed to begin with. So much so, that they’re searching feverishly to find new and politically acceptable ways to abandon the Afghans to the control of a minority of violent Jihadists. You know the type: the brown-red European politi-bots refer to them as being the whole of the Afghan population.

Observing Hermann, being an all-around Klug kind of dude, notes:

No pressure here, time or otherwise. Before not committing any new troops to Afghanistan, Germany wants to take all the time it needs to say no more thoroughly and convincingly and much, much later (around February or so). And why not take your time? They’re in the best of company here.

Interesting new way of making friends, that is.

In other words, “no”, like I said. Westerwelle did indicate that Germany is prepared to increase police trainers in Afghanistan, however. That German police training in Afghanistan has been a catastrophe up until now is another question altogether, but still.
