German reversal? Schröder's back is against the wall faz.com [....] Experts commissioned by the German parliament say the constitution prohibits the country from allowing the United States to use its bases or German airspace for an attack against Iraq. But Schröder has already granted the United States overflight rights and the transportation of troops. “We have checked the legal situation and made our decision. And it's going to stay that way,“ said German Defense Minister Peter Struck. Even if Schröder's coalition should survive such a test, the embattled chancellor might not. Economics Minister Wolfgang Clement is tipped to take charge if Schröder must go. But the opposition Christian Democrats are apparently already making preparations for German reconciliation with the United States, perhaps under a new government. Seeking to assure the United States of her party's loyalty, Christian Democrat party whip Angela Merkel plans to fly to Washington to pledge the CDU's unwavering support of that country's Iraq plans.
