The NATO mess!


Let me say it.

I'm tired of NATO. I'm tired of NATO members that won't fight in Afghanistan. Today, Andrew J. Bacevich, a professor of history and international relations at Boston University
wrote this:

"In Afghanistan, NATO is failing.

Nominally, all 26 alliance members are contributing to the war effort, with some 43,000 total troops deployed.

In reality, stripping away the forces provided by the United States, Britain and Canada, the alliance has fielded barely 20,000 soldiers -- this to pacify a country that is 50% larger than Iraq.

Many national contingents, Germany's being the most prominent, operate under restrictions that make them unusable except in areas where relative security exists."

If European countries cannot fight in Afghanistan then we should advise them that the party is over.

Let's bring our troops home and let the Euros deal with the fanatics.

Also, tell them that the US Navy will start charging the Euros for protecting their oil supplies.
