Rumsfeld is getting a little carried away. An article in The Observer details a plan to retaliate against Germany because of their lack of support for our war-mongering.

“The US will withdraw all its troops and bases from there and end military and industrial co-operation between the two countries - moves that could cost the Germans billions of euros.”

At least the State Department doesn't appear to be going along with the plan:

“The Pentagon plan - and the language expressed by officials close to Rumsfeld - has horrified State Department officials, who believe that bullying other countries to follow the US line will further exacerbate anti-Americanism and alienate those European countries that might support a United Nations resolution authorising a war.”
