Reader comment on item: NATO Fights the Jihadis
in response to reader comment: NATO may lack the needed unity
Submitted by OutWest (United States), Oct 5, 2006 at 04:51
Read my comments.....NATO has become too politically fractious to fight terrorism. Witness what is happening in Afghanistan. From what I read in the news the brunt of the fighting is being fought by the Brits, Canadians, and Americans. NATO ally Germany passed a parlimentary resolution that prohibits German troops from leaving their deployment area in the north to assist their allies. Don't know what the Italians are doing. Poland is sending 900-1000 reinforcements in February. The other NATO allies.....nothing.
