Rumsfeld makes emotional defense of War
Advertisements [?]
"I know in my heart and my brain that America ain't what's wrong in the world," he told an audience of defense and foreign policy luminaries here that included some the fiercest European opponents of the war.

Rumsfeld spoke shortly after German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer told the same audience that events in Iraq had proven Germany's anti-war position to be right.

But Fischer said that everyone would be losers if the US coalition in Iraq were to fail now.

WHAT THE HECK??? EVERYONE WOULD BE LOSERS?? THEN WHY NOT SUPPORT US?
Does anyone sense a "we were wrong, won't admit it, but you were sort of right" from Germany Foreign Minister Fischers statements? This is consistent with German policy period. The Policy of "The United States is bad, but we will always be tardy helping them". It's rediculous, and I'm sick of it. They're as bad as the French. Germany hates the U.S. with a passion. They did nearly the same thing with Clinton, and it's only matured with Bush.

In my opinion Weapons of Mass Destruction should not have been the major reason for going into Iraq, it should have been Terrorists. Now we know Iraq had direct connections with North Korea on missile programs, and there have been several Al-Quada connections made as well. But Germany's lack of support has not only been a salt on our wounds in Iraq, but also Afghanistan, Bosnia, Kosovo, Haiti, and Somalia just to name some. A Complete Year after Afghanistan was Liberated, Germany finally decided to help. Is it going to be 4 years for Iraq? I find Germany's failure, to be Extreme. I'm not going to vote for Bush in November, but I will NEVER vote for ANY President that appeases Germany. They are Truely the scum of the Earth. We need all the support we can get in Iraq so we can get the hell out of there, Sure Bush isn't helping, but Germany is even worse!

Thank you for reading.
