GERMANY'S COWARDLY SELFISHNESS PROVES THE LIMITS OF NATO AND MULTI-LATERALISM

BBC:

Germany has rejected a US appeal to send more troops to Afghanistan, amid signs of strain in the Nato mission.

The US defence secretary had used a strongly worded letter to urge larger German deployment to south Afghanistan.

But his German counterpart, Franz Josef Jung, bluntly ruled out deploying any German soldiers to the area, which is at the heart of the Taleban insurgency.

In his letter, Mr Gates warned that without reinforcements the Nato effort could lose credibility in Afghanistan.

He urged Germany to consider a new mandate which could allow thousands more troops to be deployed.

Blunt response

But the German response was equally blunt.

"I think that we really must keep our focus on the North"
German Defence Minister Franz Josef Jung

• WITHOUT THE USA NATO IS A HOLLOW MEANINGLESS DEFENSELESS BUNCH OF PUSSIFIED WIMPS.
• AND WHEN WE NEED A LITTLE HELP, THEY ARE NOT THERE FOR US.
• EVEN THOUGH WE SAVED THEIR ASSES FROM HITLER AND THE USSR - AT A COST OF TRILLIONS.
• THEY'RE SCUM.

ANYBODY WHO THINKS COZYING UP TO EUROPE - AND STRUCTURING OUR NATIONAL DEFENSE MORE LIKE THEY DO - WILL MAKE US SAFER IS A FREAKY-DEAKY IDIOT.

AND I MEAN OBAMA AND HILLARY.
