Germany, America’s Enemy

“Do not be afraid. We do not harm women or children and you are a Muslim,” she quoted them as saying.
“I was so happy to know that I had not fallen into the hands of criminals,” she said.
She is either brain-washed or an idiot. Maybe both.
*** END UPDATE ***
On Friday the gut-less profiteers who run Germany released the scum-bag — Mohammad Ali Hamadi — who murdered Navy Diver Robert Dean Stethem, 20 years ago. In return for Susanne Osthoff, a German was released in Iraq. Ironically a German who had converted to Islam, and probably could not get around Germany if she had to do so.
Germans appeared more apathetic than shocked when news broke that a first German had been seized by gunmen in Iraq on Nov. 25. Some suggested she had brought it on herself by not heeding warnings.
[Susanne] Osthoff’s sister appealed last week to the German public to demonstrate its solidarity, but only 350 people joined her at a vigil by Berlin’s central Brandenburg Gate on Wednesday evening.
The question now is, why did they do this?
[Susanne] Osthoff has devoted her life to uncovering Iraq’s cultural treasures and appeared an infrequent visitor to Germany. Her mother had not seen her for five years. She also has a 12-year-old daughter living with friends in Bavaria.
So she is not really a German. She dumped her daughter with relatives. What exactly is the reason for the trade?
The foreign ministry said on Monday that the government and the German embassy in Iraq had been involved in Osthoff’s release, but declined to give details.
Chancellor Angela Merkel, who only took office a month ago, had said the German government would not be “blackmailed” by terrorists, but did not give a clear answer when asked if Germany would be prepared to pay a ransom.
So “Angie” is just another in a long line of ‘gut-less wonders’ who run Germany? She was supposed to be different. Her first big act as leader of Germany is to trade a terrorist for some German who most Germans don’t care about, and who has not really been German for at least 5 years? Why would Germany break treaties with the U.S.? Why would they lie like this?
Despite life without parole, Hamadi was up for parole twice and served only 16 years in prison. And unlike all other extraditions sought by the U.S. under an extradition treaty with Germany, Germany violated the extradition treaty and Hamadi’s extradition was not granted.
The German government was supposed to release him to the U.S. when his supposed “life sentence” was up. They are supposed to be our ally in the war on terror.
What’s worse is that Germany released Hamadi clandestinely and provided armed security to escort him to freedom in Lebanon, where his two brothers and other family members are high-ranking Hezbollah officers. Hezbollah-dominated and Syrian-controlled Lebanon–where Hamadi is a hero for murdering Stethem–will never extradite Hamadi to the U.S. to face justice.
Germany is now back-peddling with help from Reuters. (Reuters being a known Anti-American “news” org) Germany is claiming they knew of no request for extradition. Bull.
Is Germany more worried about terrorists than the U.S.? Clearly they are. Maybe it is time to give them a refresher course in law, power, and being “allied”?
Sadly Germany has for many years openly done what is in their best economic interests, over what is in the interests of safety and security of everyone. If America (but not a liberal) were doing that the NYT would be screaming about profiteering. Germany was a trading partner with Saddam Hussein, and helped him stay in power by working against the U.S. in the U.N. and in the Middle East.
No surprise then that Germany appears to have traded a Hezbollah terrorists for some useless German.
As I am part German, it angers me that Germany is doing this. As an American I am disgusted and offended that an ally would be so cowardly.
We must punish our allies when they don’t live up to their agreements. Time to remove our troops from Germany, and tell N.A.T.O. to get stuffed. Beyond, that freeze German assets and kick out Germans.
