It appears NATO has resolved it's difficulties regarding deployment of forces in Turkey.. with Germany and Belgium dropping their objections to the move this evening.. France, which had vocally condemned this action, is not represented in NATO military committee meetings.. France dropped out of any involvement with the military decision making process in 1966..
NATO Secretary General Lord Robertson says 'solidarity has prevailed..'
Turkey gets it's AWACs.. it's anti-missile batteries..and it's anti-chemical warfare units after all..
Only seems fair..
I'm sure the French would respond with some Gallic wit.. perhaps 'Merde'..
