What a fool. Did he really think that all that adulation he was shown by the Europeans during the campaign actually meant something? What a fool.

Ship in the hooligans along with all the free beer they want. The hooligans will clean out the Tals in short order, particularly if you tell them the Tals have hidden the beer.

Then we could count on some fighters to show up.

Why don't we export 35 hard core Al Qaeda to Belgium and turn them loose there? After 50 or so car bombings I am sure those dimwits might start getting some wattage to the brain bulb. Nah, they would blame it on GWB and his antagonistic policies toward the rest of the peace-loving world. Not until their embassies and their ships and their cultural icons are bombed will they see the light. But I don't think the jihadis view Spanish or Belgian society as a threat to their Islam. Sigh.

The article says “up to 5000 troops and logistic support”

There was no number given for the number of troops who would actually be allowed to, you know, pull a trigger—i.e., “combat” troops.

The weasel is in the wording.

I have reached the conclusion that it is time for us to step away from NATO, a la de Gaulle. Let Europe fend for itself.
