Many of our "allies" in NATO have been nipping at the heels of the United States over the War on Terror for years now. Like little rat dogs that the crazy lady down the street owns, the know-it-alls in Europe called President Bush a cowboy, America blood thirsty and all of us too stupid to understand the nuanced needs of the world. Maybe there is a joke that starts, " A German Pomeranian, a Toy French Poodle and a little Spanish Ratting Dog walk into a bar..." If so, it might be as ludicrous as their effort in Afghanistan.
To see what a crackerjack job their "experts" have done one only need look at Afghanistan.
Resurgent Taliban closing in on Kabul: report
The same group of countries and their media have been criticizing and complaining about America's War on Terro and the handling of that war's part in Iraq was handed a sudued Afghanistan for NATO to command. The same countries that cowardly quivered in fear as they tried to tell us how to do our job in Iraq have now gotten together to show the world how to properly screw the pooch in Afghanistan. America lost soldiers so NATO could lose a country?Good job.
