Thread Name: BS: President Breshnev, close Guantanamo
Subject: BS: President Breshnev, close Guantanamo
One of our most conservative politicians, Bavarian prime minister Stoiber, is known for his slips of the tongue. His most recent slip two days ago in a live speech was this:
"I appreciate that the German chancellor has criticised Guantanamo in a talk with the American President Breshnev."
What do we learn from that? (1) Even for the most conservative German politicians Guantanamo is not acceptable. (2) A country that accepts Guantanamo could just as well be governed by someone like Breshnev.
