Topsy-Turvy land for Neo-cons on the Radio News
The Syria round-up on the radio news said that after the UK pulled out, that NATO has today also distanced itself from the humanitarian bombing movement... and that the only power remaining with us is France.
I guess one doesn't go to war with the coalition of the willing they want, but with the coalition of the willing they have.
(I doubt the radio news was entirely accurate in its summation. France has been waffling so it's hard to say for sure, and on the other side, even if NATO doesn't "want some" I suspect NATO ally Turkey is still on board for something independent of NATO.)
