BBC diary: Nato agreement
2005-02-25
It has been a struggle. After months of effort the final commitment came only today. Nato has managed to show a united front on Iraq. Every Nato nation including France is now helping with the programme to train Iraqi army officers. Some of the contributions are very small. France will send one officer to help support the mission from here in Brussels. Luxembourg is making a financial contribution of around a hundred-ninety thousand dollars, but the Americans say it is the symbolism that counts.

#2  Heh, one French officer. This sounds like the punch line of an old vaudville joke. First prize is the assistance of one French officer. Second prize is the assistance of a whole French company.

Tune in tomorrow as the entire EU drifts futher into self-parody.
