Forget the UN, is NATO collapsing?

WOOHOO-maybe the US troops from around the globe can come home because France & Germany seem to be prepared to become the worlds police.

The EU split erupted when the leaders of eight European countries — Spain, Portugal, Italy, Britain, Hungary, Poland and Denmark and the Czech Republic — signed a letter expressing support for the United States. France, caught by surprise, was enraged, seeing it as a direct challenge.

De Villepin urged Europe to unite on Iraq, suggesting the United States could not alone ensure global security. He also rejected ousting Saddam in a rebuff to Washington and London, who say the Iraqi leader is a threat.

NATO, the bedrock of the alliance between the United States and Europe, remained paralyzed Sunday after another day of diplomatic squabbling over a U.S.-backed proposal for possible aid for Turkey in the event of war. The United States said it did not want a bitter public dispute with European allies, but France stepped up its rhetoric, saying Washington was not the sole guarantor of world stability.

Whole Story

An American walks up to a Frenchman & asks, "Do you speak German?"
"No?" relies the Parisian.
"You're welcome", retorts from the American as he walks away.
:D
 
lol that is great. Let France and Germany police the world... Then the United States does not have to pay the bills.

I found this part especially funny:

But many EU members refuse to give up control of their foreign policy and are determined to retain strong ties with the United States, which they see as essential to their security. A number of eastern European states preparing to join the EU were excluded from attending Monday's meeting because of their strong pro-U.S. stance.
Maybe they should join the United States instead of the European Union? *grin*
 
Any country that allies itself with France deserves what it gets.

Would someone please occupy and destroy that slime pit once and for all.

Thank you
 
NATO Breaks Monthlong Impasse on Iraq32 minutes ago

:rofl2:

After France was shut out of the room, two other holdouts — Germany and Belgium — dropped their objections to starting the planning for Turkey's defense immediately, NATO officials said.
Story
 
NATO is now officially history. Totally useless organization anyways, when compared to its original objectives.

The UN's next. And I'm really not too sorry.
 
Theres nothing wrong with having a French name. My name is pure German and I don't feel like bearing the guilt burdens for the memory of Hitler nor how they act in the current day. I can only speak for myself and my directly family. I am ME ... not the historic content of my name.
 
Lots of laughs going on here. It's going to be even less funny when the EU takes over after the UN falls apart. That's down the road a ways but it will happen.
It'll be even more socialist than any of us currently dare imagine.
 
Bah...the only things Europe is good for is cheese and automobiles (except Fiat) anyway... :D ...and they have auto plants in the US. :D
 
Now, now... Europe invented the blowjob and chocolate bars. We do owe them kudos for that. They have a good moment now and then.
 
I thought chocolate was South American...:confuse2: As for blow-job...I can give kudos for that, but I was talking lately. They need us more than we need them, and they still can't get over that fact.
 
The Americas were responsible for cultivating the basic cocoa ... but used it as a bitter drink ...not as the modern refined milk and sugar infused fudgy yummy.
