"Afghan war key to NATO’s new mission" by Associated Press | May 18, 2010
BRUSSELS — NATO must win the war in Afghanistan, expand ties with Russia and even China, counter the threat posed by Iran’s missiles, and assure the security of its 28 members, according to the alliance’s proposed mission statement for the next decade.
When is the war with the Sovie.... oh, right, gone.
Why isn't NATO then, and what the hell are they doing in land-locked Afghanistan?
The draft document, released yesterday, seeks to bridge a growing rift between the United States, which favors a greater international role for NATO, and European nations that want it to retain its traditional defensive focus.

Some change from Bush, 'eh, Europe?
“NATO must be versatile and efficient enough to operate far from home,’’ said Madeleine Albright, the former US secretary of state and the head of the team of experts who wrote the document. “[But] in order to sustain the political will for operations outside its area, NATO must see that all its members are reassured about the security of their home territories.’’
Is that what that mass-murdering (and Jewish) New World Order globalist had to say?

She would probably say the price is worth it.
The document warned governments not to slash defense spending at a time of economic crisis, because of the growing discrepancy in military capabilities between the United States and Europe’s NATO members.
Most European nations are not even meeting the minimal requirement of devoting 2 percent of their GDP to defense.
Oh, they LIKE PEACE and don't want to be part of the empire, huh?
Yeah, THEY HAVE ALL HAD that experience before and lost it!
I can see why they DO NOT WANT TO GO THROUGH IT AGAIN!!
America’s latest defense budget of over $710 billion dwarfs the combined annual military expenditures of its European allies, which total about $280 billion.
And the REST of the WORLD -- and THOSE are OUR ALLIES!!
Americans, THERE IS NO THREAT!!!
Your GOVERNMENT and MSM have LIED TO YOU in service to the Jew World Order!!!
Despite the added expenses of the Afghan war, many European capitals are planning further cuts or freezing their current outlays....
It is a START!!
The 28-member North Atlantic Treaty Organization was founded in 1949 to counter the threat of a Soviet invasion.
Then WHY are they STILL AROUND 20 YEARS LATER!!
The war is the largest mission ever attempted by the alliance.
Looks like NATO lost its way to me.
