Richard Perle Denounces the Franco-German Couple
The Pentagon Calls on Berlin to Get in Line - Reseau Voltaire Net
Friday 07 November 2003
� �� Pentagon Advisor Richard Perle was on a mission this weekend in
Berlin. Taking the side of German Defense Minister, Peter Struck,
during a symposium, he denounced the deepening of Franco-German ties
and their consequences for Atlantic relations. Responding sharply to
the provocation, the former French General Staff Head, Admiral
Jacques Lanxade, accused the Pentagon advisor of coming to stir up
ill will in Europe. Mr. Perle had come to Berlin to look for German
support for a possible U.S. military initiative.
� �� The 14th forum "Bundeswehr and Society" took place November 3 and
4 in Berlin. Founded in 1988, this annual event is co-sponsored by
the German Defense Ministry and the Sunday supplement of the German
daily, Die Welt. Two hundred personalities participated on the
premises of the German publishing group, Axel Springer. The principle
speakers were Peter Struck (German Defense Minister), Lord George
Robertson (NATO General), General James Jones (Supreme Commander of
NATO forces in Europe), Richard Perle (member of the Pentagon's
political advisory council), and Wolfgang Schneiderhahn (Bundeswehr
Inspector General).
� �� During the debates, Richard Perle gave his viewpoint on "the idea
that Germany should submit to French ideas". He denounced "France and
Germany's strong tendency to express their solidarity at the least
opportunity" by virtue of a "false belief that that solidarity is
essential for European peace." An attitude that will only aggravate
"the very real problems between Europe and the Atlantic Alliance."
� �� Sharply intervening in the debate, Admiral Jacques Lanxade,
former Head of the French armed services General Staff, questioned
Richard Perle's behavior, accusing him of coming to the conference to
divide and oppose Paris and Berlin, and in a general way of trying by
all means to provoke a crisis between Europe and the United States.
� �� French and German authorities have jointly agreed not to
publicize this incident. In the European General Staffs, it is
believed that Richard Perle came to Berlin to try to split up the
Franco-German couple and get the support from Chancellor Schroeder
necessary for a new military initiative.
