Rummy lumps Germany with Libya and Cuba

Powell Fails To Change German Opposition On Iraq

As Germany renewed its opposition to war against Iraq after Powell's speech, U.S. Defense Secretary, Rumsfeld directed a new dart at it, saying Germany, Libya and Cuba are the only countries not helping American efforts.

Germany's leaders, having listened attentively to U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell's arguments against the Iraqi leadership at the U.N. Security Council, said on Thursday that they remained unconvinced that the government should change its opposition to any war against Iraq.

The spokesman for Chancellor Gerhard Schröder said the government "welcomed" the extensive information presented by Powell on Wednesday. "Germany is just as concerned as others about the indications that Iraq continues to possess weapons of mass destruction," Béla Anda said in an statement.

Together with the majority of Security Council members, Germany demands that the presented facts be handed over to the U.N. weapons inspectors to be verified, he said. Anda stressed that the inspectors needed the "required time and necessary measures" for their work. "The German government will continue with all of its powers to speak for a peaceful settlement of the conflict," Anda said.
