Why is NATO necessary? It hasn’t been for over 20 years. It is the costly equivalent and fraudulent stand-by of the Financing Industry–with billions of costly taxpayer-funded dollars yearly!
It should be dismantled as it serves the same purposes as Bushie’s Weapons of Mass Destruction. Fiction for the masses to justify military spending. Send hospital nursing staff, school supplies, women’s micromananging techniques, money to Afganistan/Iraq. They don’t need soldiers with guns! It’s hte equivalent of a husband beating the crap out of his wife to “make sure she does the right thing”. The last justified War was in the 40s…

D. Eisenhower was right when he said we must watch out for the expansion of the Military-Industrial Empire…

Greant analysis, Susan!..

I just read Glenn Greenwald’s article (i think in Salon) on Larry Summers, Tim Geithner’s control of Washington.

Why did Larry Summers, the corrupt, incompetent misogynist jerk telephone in ‘98 Brooksley Born when she was head of CFTC to blackmail her into accepting that “there’s no Fraud in the markets..we don’t need your regulations”?

This now retired lady was the ONLY voice of reason and she is being praised by Samuel Johnson in his phenomenal May issue column in the ATLANTIC May issue. Ms. Brooksly BORN was the head of CFTC whose rebellion and insistence that the crooks sign on her recommendaitons for Regulation cost her her job! Ms Born was the first female Editor of Stanford Law REview in l964! A great mind….Clinton had her as A.G. shortlist

THANK you MS. BROOKSLY BORN. Have a wonderful retirement if you are reading this.

This is standard obot BS trying to disguise itself as intelligent comment.

Julie: It’s called a dictionary.

NAIVE ! NAIVE !

How did Bush’s policies “cost” the United States other than piss of the europeans that are already under socialistic rule? They were already pissed off about losing their freedoms. Misery loves company. Is that what you want, Julie? Less freedom?

Please enlighten us all and don’t forget to give your resources, Julie.

False generalization. The British are Europeans and they took day and night bombing from the Nazis for months and remained standing.

JosefAl, I agree about Beck. And I agree about the conservatives who did not care about Dubya’s spending. HOWEVER, there were some who did. And there were some conservatives who were upset over the war, and the patriot act, and fisa. They were mostly silent.

Why did they not protest? Because all the protests were organized by the Left. Because they dared not join hands on issues they AGREED with us on, for fear of appearing to “agree” with the entire agenda of the left. You know, the same way some liberals now won’t go to a teaparty because they might get republican cooties.

It was wrong and cowardly of them. It is just as wrong and cowardly, in my mind, to sneer at those now who are trying to make a difference.

If we do not get over this asinine “keeping score”, then we have no hope of EVER holding our politicians accountable for anything, because we will never wield our power as a people in any united way. We will wait for the other side to do it first, to admit all their wrongs, so we can do our “I told you so” dance, before we will join them in calling out abuses.

GROW THE FUCK UP, America.

I used to listen to NPR all the time – until the primaries. It’s one thing to be biased in favor of one party, but they made it the Obama party. They didn’t approach the primaries with a fairness to all the democratic candidates – it was all Obama, all the time. They weren’t fair to Hillary, at all.

I tuned out.

Mostly they want BOTH parties to stop doing whatever the hell they want, and listen to us.

Sounds like a bunch of libertarians in the making

It will be very interesting to see how the MSM reports these events. If they ignore them like they did the first round, there will be even more public anger.

Well, That One does know a little bit about arrogance, though in this case he is projecting again. Time for another repair to the TelePrompTer.

At what cost? He stood in front of these same leaders and trashed the US. He called Americans arrogant. If he’ll do that to his own country do you think they’ll trust him? I think not.

Julie,

It was President Obama, not Susan, who raised expectations that NATO would provide more troops.

And, if he knew anything at all about the recent history of that organization, he would have known not to expect anything other than the response he got.

European countries are not undermining NATO because of opposition to President Bush. They are undermining it, at the behest of France, due to opposition to any American involvement at all – your leader does not matter.

France will not be content until NATO is disbanded, and ESDP takes it place. And don’t be fooled by Sarkozy’s meaningless promise to re-integrate France into NATO, either.

Notice the phrase, non-partisan. Perhaps they, too, have had enough of BOTH parties.
