		Indeed, Fischer could not overestimate how important the energy question is. During the question and answer period, he chastized a member of the audience serving in the U.S. Commerce Department for attempting to place the blame on the lack of a U.S.-E.U. energy consensus on the European bureaucracy.
		Fischer retorted that it is America's intransigence on energy that is the major stumbling block and that the proper forum must be the Group of Eight industrialized countries -- a forum Bush has avoided engaging seriously over energy.

		JOSCHKA FISCHER: First of all I think we all in the West know that there will be only one positive outcome, which we are fighting for: the return of all refugees.
		JOSCHKA FISCHER: But I think there is a real possibility to get an agreement because the military campaign is working on the one hand and on the other hand, we are very active on the diplomatic track.
		JOSCHKA FISCHER: If you were to ask me a half year ago whether we would politically survive a bombing campaign of 60 days, I would say "never." We are now very united not only in Germany, but also in the alliance.

	Paul Hockenos: The Chameleon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-08)
		Fischer and Cohn-Bendit were never pacifists, a fact often overlooked by those evaluating their positions on military intervention in the 1990s.
		Fischer is one of the foremost proponents of an autonomous, tightly knit Europe, the recipe, he argues, for another 50 years of peace and prosperity in Europe.
		Fischer embodies the halting converegence of left and right in Germany over the course of three decades, a process of moderation and compromise that has created a broad, essentially liberal consensus across the German party spectrum on most key issues.

		Fischer, who now basks in the glow of hindsight, belonged to a government that itself believed that Saddam Hussein possessed WMD and was dangerously close to building an atomic bomb as late as 2001.
		Fortunately for Fischer, his responsibility for an attack on another policeman in 1976, who was badly burned by a "molotow cocktail", could never be firmly established - though witnesses testified that in a preparatory meeting the night before the demonstration he called for molotow cocktail attacks against the police.

		Joschka Fischer, who testified as a character witness at Klein's trial in 2001, refuted as "grotesque" the allegation that the arms used in the OPEC attack had been kept in the apartment he shared with Hans Joachim Klein and Daniel Cohn-Bendit (currently a member of the European Parliament).
		In October 2002, Fischer was asked by a German prosecutor about this statement — but he dodged the question, replying simply that his flat had not been a hostel for terrorists.
		It may never be possible to prove "beyond the shadow of a doubt" Joschka Fischer's connection with the Soviet KGB, but I do know that the KGB — and my DIE — was financing West Germany's anti-American terrorist movements in the 1970s, while I was still in Romania.

	So, farewell then, Joschka Fischer. - By Michael Scott Moore - Slate Magazine
		Fischer was Schröder's foreign minister and his sharp-tongued conscience during the seven-year coalition between the SPD and the Greens.
		Fischer and Schröder took Cabinet seats in 1998, and for the first time there were people in charge of the Federal Republic of Germany with no connection to World War II.
		Fischer was, in other words, the kind of intelligent and principled European politician America needs—not a lap dog, but a loyal critic.

	DIRELAND: JOSCHKA FISCHER LEAVES GERMAN POLITICS TO TEACH IN U.S.
		The German public radio and television news service notes that Fischer was "the most popular German politician for a long time," and led the Greens into a coalition government with the Social Democrats and their highest electoral score ever.
		Fischer sketched a new transatlantic consensus, summarized in this report: "'Where the old consensus was based on a common view of an external Soviet threat and the need for a united external policy, the next consensus must be fundamentally different.
		Rather than mounting the usual puling and substanceless Green opposition to military humanitarian intervention, in Iraq and at large, Fischer's stand-down of Rumsfeld et al was an articulate expression of frustration with the arrogance and incompetence of the Bush administration, which he felt would certainly undercut the essential good of ridding Iraq of Baathism.

		Fischer personifies the rightward shift of the left over the past three decades, proving that this is not a uniquely Democratic Party phenomenon.
