NATO to Help?
Last July, NATO agreed to help with the training of Iraq's fledgling defense forces.
Today, we are told that they've done so again. This time all 26 members agree to support the effort in Iraq either with personnel, financial support or equipment. President Bush remains diplomatic and gracious. I'm not. NATO isn't what it used to be. Not because we've changed but because old Europe, the folks we liberated nearly 60 years ago, and protected for the next 4 plus decades, has changed. They, like the current and previous South Korean leadership, are ungrateful and have failed to learn the nature of tyranny.
Also, the EU is opening its first offices in Baghdad. The EU is training judges for Iraq, and thus far has done so only from the safety of Europe. The opening of the office does not indicate that training will move to Baghdad, it only indicates the future possibility of moving the training to Iraq.
