Will Germany Spain-out on us?
Deutsche Welle reports that al Qaeda released a video today warning Germany of an attack there if the election doesn’t go the terrorists’ way;
In the video, a man identified as Bekkay Harrach from Bonn demanded an end to Germany’s military mission in Afghanistan. He spoke German, and was dressed in a suit and tie and stood in front of a red curtain.
“If the people choose to continue the war, they have passed judgment on themselves. The parliamentary election is the only opportunity for the people to influence its country’s politics,” Harrach says, “When the last German soldier is withdrawn from Afghanistan, the last mujahedeen will be withdrawn from Germany.”
Although the war hasn’t been an issue in the upcoming September 27th election, this could effect the outcome if the Germans go all Spain on us. The Germans government has warned of increased travel from terrorists before the release of this video.
A lot may depend on how much Germans can’t count on the US to be there for them in an emergency.

If I was him I would be very, very careful about threats, if I remember correctly the Germans like to bomb, the old saying comes to mind, shoot them all let God sort them out.
Mess with the Germans and you might have a very ugly stick applied to your ugly face.
My hope, try, then let the Germans loose.
Germany is a place that is dear to my heart, having spent a total of three years there as a soldier and as a university student. But it must be said–they are not the least bit concerned with whether Afghanistan goes in the “win” column. They think it’s not their fight, they think America’s only there for the oil (WHAT OIL?!), and a significant minority of them believe that the US government–not al-Qaeda and OBL–perpetrated the terrorist attacks of September 11th.
I don’t know if this video will have a serious effect on the election, but I do know that they are the wobbliest “allies” on the face of the earth.
[…] This Ain’t Hell says Poland wanted this and worries that Germany may go the way of Spain! […]
Germany trust the O’Dumbo administration? They trusted Hitler and see where/what that got them. No country should trust the current regime in D.C., the real majority of the American people don’t.
