Arnaud de Borchgrave, a CSIS senior advisor, published a commentary in Washington Times, "Europe: The weak that was."
Only one member of the German Bundestag out of 614 parliamentarians is in favor of putting the 2,900 German troops in Afghanistan in harm's way, or at least willing to say so publicly.
Hans-Ulrich Klose, a Social Democrat, vice chairman of the Bundestag's Foreign Affairs Committee, says a total of six think the way he does but won't say so publicly. That leaves 608 representatives of the German people opposed to German soldiers deserting their Salvation Army mode of operations and joining U.S., British, Canadian and Dutch soldiers now doing all the fighting against Taliban guerrillas.
