The Germans are displaying more anger against us in the dispute than the Germans seem to muster against the formal enemy on the ground:
An airstrike by U.S. fighter jets that appears to have killed Afghan civilians could turn into a major dispute for NATO allies Germany and the United States, as tensions began rising between them Sunday over Germany's role in ordering the attack.
Afghan officials say up to 70 people were killed in the early morning airstrike Friday in the northern province of Kunduz after Taliban militants stole two tanker trucks of fuel and villagers gathered to siphon off gas.
Afghan and NATO investigations are just beginning, but both German and U.S. officials already appeared to be trying to deflect blame.
This is not a sign of a healthy fighting alliance.
It's hard not to see this as being made into an excuse for the Germans to withdraw their troops.
