Köhler resigns after correctly connecting war to economics
from the local: German President Horst Köhler announced his surprise resignation on Monday after appearing to suggest the country's unpopular Afghanistan mission was partly motivated by commercial interests. "I announce my resignation from the office of the federal presidency with immediate affect," Köhler said in Berlin. He said the decision came after withering criticism of comments he made connecting Germany's military deployment in Afghanistan with the country's economy.
