Berlin Contradicts EU's Solana on Iraq

The German government on Saturday reiterated it would not send troops to help stabilize Iraq, contradicting EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana, who said Berlin was no longer opposed helping out militarily.

Germany, one of the staunchest opponents of the U.S.-led war in Iraq, remains steadfast in its refusal to send soldiers to Iraq, despite growing worries amongst the international community that the country is becoming increasingly unstable.

A government spokesman denied Berlin’s position had changed after EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana reportedly said German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder was no longer “fundamentally” against sending troops. Solana met with Schröder last week and later gave an interview to the Bild am Sonntag newspaper.

,...independent of everyone else's warnings/pleadings/objections. Who is going to be held responsible for that? Seems kinda obvious. Does everyone wanna help THE IRAQI PEOPLE,...yes!!! But, the U.S. is blocking all relevant assistance by demanding CONTROL over everything. So,...the U.S. is getting the control it wants but, naturally will not receive the assistance that THE IRAQI PEOPLE need because this administration does not play well with others, is so stingy and self-absorbed that it will not even hear of others' ideas/opinions/positions, and has a completely pathological obsession with control. Too bad we have no legal way of involuntary committing these psychopaths,...since they are in charge!!!
