@pin,

do you ever get the feeling that we are the last two living cells in a dying body?

Thats why I use it, my family is from Berlin, Pomerania (Pomern) and Silesia (Schlesien) there has always been a sometimes freindly rivalry between Bavarians and Prussians. My nic is from a bumper sticker my Bavarian Godfather had, it said “Preiss is nice but Bayer is higher”. Also have a saying hanging in my kitchen that goes “Keine feuer, keine kohl, brennt so heiss wie den lieb zwischen Bayer und Preiss”.
“No fire, no coal, burns so hot as the love between Bavarian and Prussian”

You might be best keeping clear of Bavaria if Preiss is your surname: “Preiss” is the Bavarian pronounciation of “Prussian” and is used as a rather derisive term for all non-Bavarians.

So if you do make it there, adopt a pseudonym that blends in, like Kraxlhuber or Gschwandtner…

This Krautboy dug up his roots last weekend and went to the Addison TX Oktoberfest. They serve the same Paulaner Oktoberfest Bier that they have in Munich, Schmeckt Gut!

@pin,

if it were just the “liberal media” spinning the story, I would not think much of it. But as far as I know, the US Senate is still Republican-controlled.

Saddam and Al-Qaeda had only one connection: a common enemy. In every other repsect, they were polar opposites. And Saddam certainly did not want raving Shi’ite lunatic Islamic fundamentalists running amok in his country, blowing up civilians.

And I fear we can write off the Krautboys for a few weeks, the Oktoberfest just opened…Prost!!!

Ralphieboy,
There is a mountain of recently translated documents ignored by the press, that show cooperation between AQ and Saddams govt. As for our own govt saying there was no connection? well the press just leaves out the details.
Conveniently, such news analyses ignore statements like this one from Thomas Kean, chairman of the 9/11 Commission. “There was no question in our minds that there was a relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda.” Hard to believe reporters just missed it—he made the comments at the press conference held to release the commission’s final report. And that report detailed several “friendly contacts” between Iraq and al Qaeda, and concluded only that there was no proof of Iraqi involvement in al Qaeda terrorist attacks against American interests.

@pin,

all I knows is what I reads in the ‘papers. And when even the US Senate admits that there was no Iraq/Al-Qaida connection, I do start to wonder about all the other “confirmed evidence” we were offered.

It still find it ironic that there was no Ql-Qaida operating in Iraq until they moved into the power vacuum we created.
