well?

well, is it going to happen, I have heard this statement more than once, and I wonder
if someone is listening, or just ignoring the requests.

If more soldiers are needed, then send them, and "get the job done".

 

[Colpy]

The problem being our NATO allies, (except for Great Britain, the USA, and the Dutch) are yellow, stupid, ignorant arseholes. They will not provide the cover necessary for reconstruction as they might get a bloody nose. This mission is becoming a sure failure, but we are comited until 2009.

NATO is a failure.

Abandon NATO.

Abandon Europe.

Create a new alliance of the English-speaking peoples...........the United States, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada.
