Europe Shows Its Support For Obama in Afghanistan By Doing Nothing
Hope and change, hope and change. Keep saying it everyone. The President sought more help from Europe in Afghanistan, but he's not going to get it. The difference between Bush asking and Obama asking? Europe smiles now when saying no.

"The promises, at a two-day summit marking NATO's 60th anniversary, constituted a sweeping demonstration of support for the new administration's leadership in what has become the alliance's main mission of the moment."
Interesting that this same media outlet never once indicated "sweeping demonstrations of support" when the Bush administration got even more support. Instead I recall they called it an abject failure of foreign policy...or words to that effect. And they denounced quite heartily the support of what Rumsfeld called the "new Europe" countries as insignificant and shameless PR on behalf of the administration.
Not surprising to me. I expect that if and when any new wars or conflicts cropped up, the U.S. would stay out of it. Why would Europe or anyone else do any differently?
As I watch our president obsequiously apologizing for all of America's alleged transgressions; those dastardly deeds that prevented either a Nazi or communist dominated Europe from coming to fruition, I am thankful that I had the good fortune to grow up in an America that was a wonderful country that based its decisions on what was right and wrong.
The American people wanted change, well God help them they are going to get change like they never imagined.
But, but, but....he's restoring America's image in the world! And Michelle Jackie Kennedy Obama is just the loveliest thing!
So who cares about all that other stuff! His lemmings won't and I bet the Eugene Robinsons of the world won't either. I wonder how long we will continue to value style over substance.
speaking of lemmings...... folks read your own hysterics... geez... Bush II was a disaster -- is it so hard to admit it?
Anonymous, I shouldn't even bother, but whether Bush was a 'disaster' or not, what does that have to do with the Europeans helping Obama in Afghanistan? I think that's what this post was about.
I agree President Bush was a disaster by himself with a Republican majority who forgot why they were elected. But that was exacerbated big time by the Dem controlled congress since 2006 then add in President Obama's policies and you have a mega disaster.
Anon - Nowhere do I see hysterics. Nowhere do I see an endorsement of Bush. Could you direct me to the discussion about which you wrote?
Mudge, the entire compilation of yours and other responses on this site. Let me point out one from this very blog -- "add in President Obama's policies and you have a mega disaster." Really? what evidence supports that? or is this administration's policy simply a ideological different path from the conservative right?

The evidence that when money is printed, printed,printed the value of the currency drops. Read your history, it has nothing to do with political affiliation and everything to do with economics and monetary policy.
So NATOS'S pledge to send some file clerks and the European versions of ACORN constitutes a "sweeping demonstration of support..."
