Europe's fault!
And WTF, Bob, I thought we were winning?
"Afghanistan: Gates Doubts Europeans’ War Commitment" by Associated Press
At a conference of army leaders from 38 European nations in Heidelberg, Germany, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates questioned the commitment of some NATO allies to winning in Afghanistan, saying the outcome there was at “real risk” because some European nations were unwilling to provide enough troops and resources to the mission.
Gates, in remarks that were notably critical of European governments:
“A handful of allies are paying the price and bearing the burdens.”
[Hey, they didn't start the god-damn wars!
So why should they bail our sorry asses out?]
He spoke hours after leaving a two-day meeting of NATO defense ministers in the Netherlands, where he pressed for more troops for Afghanistan. There were no promises.
Gates told the European generals:
“If an alliance of the world’s greatest democracies cannot summon the will to get the job done in a mission that we agree is morally just and vital to our security, then our citizens may begin to question both the worth of the mission and the utility of the 60-year-old trans-Atlantic security project itself.”
Gates meant NATO, which was created in 1949.
[Fuck the mission and FUCK NATO, asshole!!!
I say GOOD, get the fuck rid of them!
The world would be a lot better off!]
His remarks drew little reaction from the generals, who applauded politely when he finished."
Yeah, LECTURING and SCOLDING them will work!
Always does with the kids!
