#2 "Burden sharing is about sharing equipment and people stepping up to the plate."

Nice one Gordon , muppet . How about the Government shares their wealth with equipment for our 'always under-equiped' boys instead of fat cat lunch plates and dodgey expense claims .

As for Paddy Ashdown , thanks you morale boosting c***

#5 The High Elves will once again join the forces aligned against the darkness of Mordor? So the word comes from the Council of Elrond.

#6 I wonder when NATO will finally call out the Germans for being lazy worthless non-fighting pissants that they have become?

Perhaps an insult or 2 might wake them up. Because to be honest, the Canadians, Dutch, Norwegians and others have helped us far more than the Germans, and with far fewer resources.

OS, shhhh. After two world wars in the 20th Century, I for one welcome the new ~~wussies~~ Germans. Its a feature, not a bug. :)

#9 I like that France is showing they aren't completely suicical.

There may be an Obama presidency that removes troops from the middle east. If oil from the persian gulf gets cut off, Europe is screwed.

Better get in and get up to speed in a hurry.
