NATO says niet

As anticipated, NATO did not accept the applications by the Ukraine and Georgia for pre-membership. France and Germany had already made their positions clear, so why Feckless Leader decided to make an ass of himself once again is anyone's guess. Greece, angry that Macedonia is called 'Macedonia', blocked the application of the home of the fruit salad.

Nothing yet about US requests for more troops for the excellent adventure in Afghanistan. Expect some face saving measures.

Putin addresses NATO tomorrow. That should be interesting.
