Berlin - Germany denied Wednesday it was one of the nations accused by the United States of turning a blind eye on the Libyan rebels struggling to unseat leader Moamer Gaddafi.
Germany abstained in the UN Security Council vote on a no-fly zone over Libya and withdrew its units from NATO forces imposing the ban.
'I think it's sufficiently evident that Germany is paying attention,' said a government spokesman, Christoph Steegmans, when asked to comment remarks by US President Barack Obama.
Speaking on Tuesday, Obama said: 'Some nations may be able to turn a blind eye to atrocities in other countries.
'The United States of America is different. And as president, I refused to wait for the images of slaughter and mass graves before taking action,' he said. This is passive aggressive shit talkAsked in Berlin if Germany would supply arms to the rebels, Steegmans said the government was not contemplating '
such hypothetical issues.'
I bet they are/will.
