Well, well those blood thirsty ("you're either with us or against us")Germans were the ones who donated the artificial limbs to those Iraqis who lost their limbs.

I really don't understand why Bush is so upset over this anyway. The Saudis and Kuwaitis deal with thieves this way all the time and there is no gripe.

"The state-of-the-art bionic hands, which each cost more than $30,000, were donated by the Germany-based Otto Bock company"

2. Dimbo Couldn't Take Credit For It
Wouldn't pay for it and is too chichen-shite to show up closer than Italy for any photo-op.
