Who owns GM?
GM & Ford are both US corporations. In fact GM has majority ownership of Isuzu, who makes the Duramax diesel engine, and GM has significant stakes in other country's auto makers.
Ford incidentally, owns much, or most of, Jaguar.
We all know Mercedes Benz now owns Chrysler
The germans have been nearly as anti-american & obstructionist as the french.
Their foreign minister, Joshka Fischer, is well known as left-wing radical from the 70s ... ke kept denying he was involved in any leftwing shenanigans until someone turned up a photo of Fischer kicking & beating a german policeman who had fallen on the ground. Fischer was linked to other german radicals who had been arrested in possession of explosives, although it was never "proven" Fischer had a direct hand in plots to blow up things.
Let's not forget that most of the 9/11 terrorists came through, and had done their planning, in Hamburg, Germany.
It's well known that many Muslim radicals go to germany, go on german welfare, and then spend their time advocating violence & denouncing western democracies.
germany has nearly as much at stake in oil contracts & potentially illicit commercial ties to Iraq, as does France.
