Även tyska politiker oroas av Bush hot om tredje världskrig

Även tyska politiker oroas av Bush Tredje världskrigs-retorik.

Bush's mention of an impending World War III was counterproductive in finding a solution to the nuclear standoff with Iran, Ruprecht Polenz, a specialist in foreign affairs for Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) told the DPA news agency. Polenz also criticized Putin for saying he wants to build up Russia's military capacity.

Rolf Mützenich, who specializes in foreign policy for the Social Democrats, said Bush's statement puts a "mutual and peaceful approach to the Iranian nuclear crisis" in danger. The disagreement over Iran's nuclear program cannot be solved using force, Mützenich told DPA. He encouraged Merkel to make this clear when she meets with Bush next month.

It was also "completely inappropriate" for Bush to bring up the possibility of World War III, Mützenich said.

The Left Party's foreign affairs expert, Norman Paech, said Bush's statement were an "additional signal" that the US is a war risk.

Är det bara jag eller är det väldigt tyst om Bush krigshets, och framför allt detta uppseendeväckande uttalande, i svenska medier?
