KLP: Let the games begin!

And where is Obama, that great reconciler of differences between people and nations, now that we need him?

"Come now and let us reason together saith Obamamessiah.
We can talk our way through this and all other forms of disagreement among friends and nations.

Uh, ah, um, maybe, now where's the G.. D... teleprompter with the prepared text now that I need it. I really need time to nuance this one before I speak since it is soooo beyond my pay grade."

Norway: Russia to cut all military ties with NATO

Aug 20 02:38 PM US/Eastern


OSLO, Norway (AP) - Norway's Defense Ministry says Russia has informed it that it plans to cut all military ties with NATO.
Ministry spokeswoman Heidi Langvik-Hansen says the country's embassy received a telephone call from Russia's Defense Ministry on Wednesday, saying Moscow plans "to freeze all military cooperation with NATO and allied countries."

Norway was told in the telephone call a written note about this would be sent out shortly.

Russian officials were not immediately available to confirm the information and officials at NATO headquarters said they have not been informed of any such moves.

NATO foreign ministers Tuesday suspended formal contacts with Russia as punishment for sending troops into Georgia.
