That is besides the point. I really want to know if it's technically possible and if so, under what circumstances would NATO be able to kick an ally out? I'm not looking for opinions although coolVariable has pretty much turned this thread towards that direction.

And I expect that from the UN. I do not expect that from NATO. Turkey has only asked from planning resources, nothing else.

Yay!
Nice to know that I'm not the only intelligent person among this herd of sh!itheads.

So you expect NATO countries to act like vassal states?



If there is going to be a terrorist strike because of the war I just hope it takes out Mr. Pretzel-Bush and all the morons on this board.
THAT would make the world a safer place!

You know I dont agree with your opinions, but I dont feel the need to call you a sh!thead.

But that is changing rapidly.

No I expect a defensive alliance to protect its members.

If you don't want opinions then you should just use Google as anybody who's not a complete moron would understand that such a question is bound to draw opinions here.

That is because I use logical arguments and you don't (and can't).

Your stupidity drives me to say things in anger, while your "head" is overhelmed by the intellectual level of this discussion.

You have yet to show any logical arguments. Maybe you should read up on the NATO charter and the responsability of member nations when another member requests help.

I dont expect you have a logical response to this.

I would like to know as well...it seems like it never should have come to this, maybe the pundits that say NATO is an anachronism are right. I guess we are watching some serious historical sh/t go down?

Maybe you should read up on international law?? Interference in domestic issues of foreign nations .....





But I don't expect a hillbilly to understand that.

that is why they have informal talks before votes.
A sane president would reconsider his request in face of such a large opposission among his allies.

But, as i said: a SANE president ...

So we aren't intelligent unless you we agree with you?

You are not intelligent unless you accept and consider other peoples opinions.

I accept your opinion though I don't agree with it. You seem to resort to insults to get your point across. That doesn't seem intelligent to me or many others here.

Cool. I'll try that. Maybe you should also try to google for "how to get a personality." Thanks!

It is obvious he has not learned from 91, as he is not complying with resolution 1441 or the previous 17 resolutions.
He has learned not to mess around with neighbors partnered with Western powers.

As for NATO I'm sure other member nations could ask France, Belgium and Germany to withdraw. Do you seriously think they will though? What political advantage is there for making that effort? Zip. No, the status quo will be maintained....it takes an earthquake to get bureacrats to change something.

I agree, we should all stay frosty as the game moves further afoot.
