Today German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder adressed the Bundestag on the matter of industrial production and military downsizing. President Johannes Rau was currently in Frankfurt for an economic conference. Since forming a coalition with Bündnis 90/Die Grünen the military had been downsizing. However Schröder has decided that it is time to expand the Bundeswehr and research into more modern technology.

He has also brought up the fact of industrial potential in Germany. Currently the major industrial sectors in Germany are located in the Saar and the Ruhr. Schröder is interested in expanding heavy industries to areas like Saxony and Westfalia. However Die Grünen has protested this hotly, claiming that this would further damamge the fragile German ecosystem. Schröder however has decided to turn a deaf ear on their protest.

To Israel: We beg you to reconsider your imperialstic designs. We hope you will not act to the Arabs like the Nazis acted to you. However we congratulate you on your capture of Saddam Hussein, he was a menace to Western democracy.

To France: Germany would like to improve her relations with her western neighbor. Perhaps an alliance is in order?

Mossad Heavy Assualt Squads

Mossad Heavy Assualt Squads have recently put an end to the terror reign of Saddam Hussein. Last Night they stormed Basra Palace and succesfully killed his guards and the dictator himself.

Israel

Riot Police have been put on alert. Muslim's aren't happy.

Casualties:
Civilian: ~300
Police: 34

Arabs arrested: ~500

Prime Minister Joolseph has said "If these riots don't stop immediately, I will be forced to bring in the Military or Mossad, whichever they prefer. Both are good at killing and dispersing crowds, on the other hand if these were legal manifestations, I wouldn't mind. Except that 34 Policemen were killed, I will not tolerate this"

Well, Middy, do they stop or continue?
