"How long, O Catiline, will you abuse our patience?" Began with this famous quote in Marcus Tullius Cicero, ancient Rome, once the first of his orations against Catiline, and one is tempted to shout it in modified form, the Minister of Defence, the more mutated into a "self defense". Of course, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg is not equivalent to a high and a traitor, but he increasingly strained the patience of the audience.
has too often shone the Lord of Hardthöhe through failures, incomprehensible personnel decisions and lack of communication, too often he seemed less the Office and the soldiers entrusted to him the necessary to have care bestowed because of his own self-presentation in public. The recent scandal involving his "Doktorspielchen" is not really important, as for the office of a minister, it is immaterial whether it goes to a (noble) or academic title, however, two aspects play a not unimportant role yet: Does the Minister acted with intent and says conscious as a result the truth? And he has used to obtain the doctorate even of the Research Service of the Bundestag , is only meant to assist the deputies in their official duties? Such self-service could quickly find the "abuse" should be interpreted and even dishonest politicians present in this republic no exception - the abuse of the office in Germany but is also still not appreciated by the voters.
The smart and always neat CSU ministers, even recently, acted as a "political talent," "hope" and even "shining light" for the heritage of the Chancellor, must increasingly recognize that dark cloud over his well-coiffed main contract. Kunduz was the case the communication and human resources policy of his house was at least questionable (the relief of Colonel Klein, though the minister himself later the attack as "disproportionate", described as well as the dismissal the generals Schneiderhan and Hars and the Secretary of State Wichert), it was his reaction to the following Gorch Fock affair even more: Instead of a senior employer take his subordinates in front of a prejudged by the media and public protection, he saw the hunt not only inactive, but solved without waiting for the results of a commission of inquiry, from the commander, what consternation too understandable for the regular crew of the sail training vessel resulted.

Although these processes most likely without the knowledge or even abpielten statement of the Minister, he would be required to provide in this case as the supreme commander as soon as possible for clarification before the confidence of the troops in it continues to fade. Le baron Teflon, "as he is called in France already imitated but increasingly prefer the" Teflon-Chancellor "and can run off criticism in itself.
A new sad high point was his avoidance of the media at a press conference in Berlin, was snubbed even seasoned journalists . The man who wanted to stand for more honesty and transparency, to escape unpleasant questions that should shed more light on the lawful acquisition of his doctorate - a discussion of the way, which takes place during just three more German soldiers in Afghanistan were killed . The media, whose favorite zu Guttenberg, until recently, was this note only in passing, but they focus on his credibility. However, this is not negligible, then for should confirm the suspicion that he was not only not "simply untrue" says, but also in giving its thesis wrong honor given and citations therein manipulated intentionally added. This is now not only to Guttenberg's care for his subjects for discussion, but also his trustworthiness.
