>>These moves are the first steps toward creating a European Union defense force< Yup!Was wondering what it would take for them to get the message that they would not have control of their destiny as long as they did not have control of their military.It took GWB and his PNAC team to wake them up to their reality. Well done boys. In ten years they will be saying : " You are either with us or against us ",and MAY have the means of supporting that assertion. >>essentially obsoleting NATO<< I doubt it Kyrosl.They will not pretend to compete with NATO for a long long time,if ever.They will however in a relatively short time have the means of conducting adventures in places THEY may consider a threat to THEIR security,and embark on strategic initiatives such as wars on nations considered hostile to THEM. Those who underestimate the importance of these alignments need to step back and consider how easy it is for highly technical cultures to bring formidable forces to bare, given the necessity or perception of one. I have stated here a number of times the blowback from the current administration's propensity to regard any nation that does not see eye to eye with them as " irrelevant ". They will be relevant. I have stated here a number of times the likelihood that a new arms race would unfold in the aftermath of this latest adventure,where these and other nations KNEW they were being lied to and the " coal-ition " was acting on the premise that they could do what they damn well pleased. This will be just one of the sparks that lights the eventual fire of nations from America's past umbrella protection venturing outward with their own capabilities and determination. The window has been thrown open. Enjoy the view.<GGG> KC@NewWorldDisorder.CON
