Russia, France and Germany are in NATO. At this point, NATO is just UN-Lite.

.....What are they doing??? There is a whole different agenda going on here. Other UN members have finally found a common cause and way to knock the US off its pedestal, or so they think.

Without France and Germany there won't be full support from NATO.

I say pull ALL OF OUR MILITERY, $$$$, AND WHATEVER SUPPORT WE GIVE TO ANYONE back, shut down the borders (which will never happen because of the fear you'll be called RACIST), and build the biggest , baddest , missile defense system the world has and will ever see, and become the RICHEST (even more than we are now) COUNTRY EVER TO EXIST ON THIS PLANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is yesterday's news. NATO is already in disarray on Iraq. France and Germany have already said they will not support NATO involvement in Iraq.

NATO actions require a unanimous decision - clearly not forthcoming with France & Germany currently opposed.

I wonder if this whole deal has been simply GWB's way of getting the US out of the UN.
To: LuvUSA
Funny how the country we won independence from (England), and a country which only became a soverign state(Irsael)bout 30 yrs ago help us out........

Backing down would be total humiliation. Backing down would be an open invite to be "raped" again by psychopaths.
It's time to get it on. Blood will be shed, but we and our freinds across the pond need to bitch slap some freaks that are getting out of line. Freedom comes with a price. But with the current climate in the world, freedom is on the line.

Read LuvUSA reply 7 and that was what I addressed.

That's it then, we'll move without the UN and demonstrate their irrelevance. This is the beginning of the end for these terrorist coddlers.
