Too much schnapps?

Germany's most celebrated Middle East hand, an elderly eccentric author and journalist named Peter Scholl-Latour, has argued al Qaeda is a trumped-up rag-tag team mostly invented by the Americans.

Sounds like a very Frenchy argument to me. If only he mentioned Versailles not being hit by Molotov cocktails, it would have been a perfect impersonation of Pepe.

Yes, very Pepe-esque. I suppose the Spanish invented the boogey-man who bombed the trains in Madrid.

Here's another trumped-up rag-tag team.

Does "Scholl-Latour" mean 'the towers fall' in Strasbourg?

Maybe Dr. Scholl should stick to making platform shoes, instead of commenting on who brought the towers down.
