#1 Correct me if I'm wrong, but with the US, UK, Canada and Denmark (or Dutch?) doing the real work, who cares about the sprouts or frogs?

#2 Ummmmdont you remember elementary school where you had a 20 minute time out in the corner?

These guys were caught living off of American military welfare for 60 years, so this is their punishment for being welfare queens. Thats why theyre asking - is it time yet?

They were more than happy to fight to the last American in Europe for their social nanny state, but support democracy elsewhere in the world? Youre kidding?

#5 Spot, there is a bit of frustration within NATO because the Americans, Canadians, British and Dutch troops are doing the heavy lifting and taking casualties while the the French and Germans are confined to quarters during nighttime and weekends as a security measure.

#6 Time to move NATO Headquarters to either Amsterdam or London, and tell the Belgians, French, and GERMANS they either pay to play, or they get out and get lost. Create a "coalition of the willing", and build a closer relation with those members. Let the rest take care of themselves. France will soon be fully entrenched on the dark side soon anyway, instead of only halfway.

#7 Hell, OP, just get rid of NATO altogether - it's time is past. We don't need to defend EUrope and if they want to fight it out amongst themselves (again), well have at it.
