>>Stoiber may bar US using Germany as Iraq war base September 19, 2002 12:25 PM ET Email this article BERLIN, Sept 19 (Reuters) - Edmund Stoiber, challenging Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder in Sunday's German election, raised the possibility on Thursday that he may bar U.S. forces from using Germany as a base from which to attack Iraq. Asked in an RTL television interview if he would let U.S. forces use Germany as a stategic base for an attack on Iraq if the U.S. took unilateral action, the conservative challenger said: "Definitely never if the Americans go it alone." Stoiber did not elaborate and Stoiber's press office could not immediately comment on whether he had been referring to a possible withdrawal of flyover rights for U.S. military aircraft based in Germany. Stoiber's comments mark a distancing from the United States after he himself had accused Schroeder of souring relations with Washington by ruling out German involvement in an Iraq war.<< reuters.com So now they both say it. But what is this "go it alone" business? Rummy says we will have help. My guess is the Brits, the Aussies, and several nations in the region like Qatar and Kuwait will help. Will that make Shroeder and Stoiber happy?
