Michelle Malkin - Before you go ballistic on Germany - gives her take on the Time magazine report that a lawsuit will be filed in Germany seeking to charge former SecDef Rumsfeld with war crimes.
"Calls to close our bases in Germany over this hyped news story are, with all due respect, silly."
I agree with that statement.
However, Michelle needs to look at the issue of leaving our troops in Germany. The strategic value of Germany has diminished and the government is not an ally of America.
I wonder if Michelle remembers the Beider-Meinhof Gang and the terror that they created in the 1970’s? Germany is ripe for more home-grown terrorism. While we are talking about taking our troops out of harms way we should consider Germany as another one of those places that are unsafe.
I don’t think that we should be in the business of propping up socialist governments through military spending programs. Besides, the old Eastern Europe is more strategic today than is Germany. It is time to redeploy those troops.
