Germany may send troops to Iraq if Kerry elected

[ciaobox]

Here is a letter I sent to 1000+ media outlets. Here is the list of outlet emails as posted by in_cog_ni_to:

Why is this not the top story today? The mainstream media has shown Bush mocking John Kerry's Iraq solutions for a month - over and over again. Now, we have a major traditional U.S. ally basically saying that Kerry's proposals make sense and Germany may send troops if Kerry is elected. It is only fair to cover this since you have spent so much time showcasing Bush mocking Kerry's concepts on this subject.

"Germany might deploy troops in Iraq if conditions there change, Peter Struck, the German defence minister, indicated yesterday in a gesture that appears to provide backing for John Kerry, the US Democratic presidential challenger."

..."Mr Struck also welcomed Mr Kerry's proposal that, as president, he would convene an international conference on Iraq.
Germany would certainly attend, Mr Struck said. "This is a very sensible proposal. The situation in Iraq can only be cleared up when all those involved sit together at one table. Germany has taken on responsibilities in Iraq, including financial ones; this would naturally justify our involvement in such a conference."

6. The key word is "may"

Germans strongly opposed our invasion of Iraq. They will have to weigh their political fortunes before committing their troops, and then of course, in what capacity would they deploy their troops, if they did so.
