...years in Nazi concentration camps. In the Bundestag, where he holds great sway, he is a frightening performer. He jabs at every word with the bony fingers of his one hand.

The general purposely sacrificed himself, to focus attention on the desperate need out there. I hope many millions more will join me in a fervent prayer that at the next election, the commander in chief be relieved of all his duties. Two years more may be too late, however...
