 and Bertie is a liar I met a german guy recently and told him that the excuse that our leader gave for allowing the Americans Bombers through Shannon was that countries all over the world were doing same thing even those who were opposed to the war. I gave the example of Germany a country that was against the War but was allowing the American bombers through the bases at Ramstein etc. After I finished saying this the German guy laughed as if he had not heard something so stupid for a long time. He said "thats bullshit, Germany doesn't own the land those airports are on. Thats US soil. That hasn't been German land since before the Second World War." He continued, "If I went over the fence there I would be shot by an American GI." I asked him if there were any protests at the bases. He said there had been but no one got over the fence as the Americans would certainly have shot them. He added that Germany who was against the war used their own Poilice to stand in front of the perimiter fences to prevent any interference. So the protestors were seperated from the GI's by the perimiter fence and the Police force of a country that was against the war. |
