If you look around the blogs of the hard right you would have thought that at the G20, President Obama surrendered America to the demands of every other Country and was shamed by the rest of the World.

The racist PUMA blogs and of course the Free Repugnants are all over whether the President did a full bow to the Saudi King.The fact that the G20 Conference more than achieved its aims in both progressing the World out of the recession that their stupid President caused and started on a massive programme of Third World Aid and expansion of the IMF - during that recession escapes them. The far right concentrates on the tiny details of how the President greeted King Abdullah. Extremists always concentrate on the tiniest of things to prove their extremism.

I can not however let this escape. Pat Buchanan, whose dirty filthy bigoted views are being repeated ad nausea by that low life scumfest that calls itself a security blog is reported by them to have said that the commitment from other NATO allies meant that the President "got very, very, very thin gruel out of the allies."

The scumfest that is NoQuarter said the President is being "“played” by leaders of fellow NATO nations who know they can get away with schmoozing this newbie, while giving him nothing:"

http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/2009/04/04/pbos-peter-principle-moments-at-nato-strasbourg/

NoQuarter has proven itself to be no more of interest to "issues of security" than the klan is to issues of fashion sense.

NATO already has 30,000 troops in Afghanistan. A war America started, and Britain backed to hunt down the Taliban and Al Queda. The stupid US President then went on an illegal revenge mission for his poppy fatally undermining efforts to re stabilise Afghanistan.

Ws' warmongering resulted in Iran seeking to develop nuclear weapons. As a result of his stupid axis of evil speech, British Security Services lost all access to Iran providing intelligence reports on Al Queda and the Taliban. Way to go stupid Rethugs.

As a result of getting a President that was not hooked on war, the US is being listened to in NATO again.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who co-hosted the conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, said Obama made a strong case for the assistance in outlining his new strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan. The strategy focuses more resources than in the past on rooting out al-Qaeda havens between the two countries.

"It was so easy to work with him," Sarkozy said of Obama. "He showed his leadership. He showed how committed he was."

That would never have been said about McCain. Ever. Certainly not by a French President. Europe saw McCain as a continuation of the failed strategy of more War inside the Middle East. There would have been no support from Europe for a Country that re-elected a Party of War Criminals. The Republican Party has yet to be forgiven across Europe for the damage it has done to the World.

So in that context, European NATO allies today agreed as well as part of their already high numbers there:-

• About 3,000 troops to provide security around the Aug. 20 Afghan elections, including from Britain, Germany and Spain.

• Between 1,400 and 2,800 troops to serve as trainers for Afghan military units in the field.

• More than 300 paramilitary trainers and mentors to work with Afghan police forces. The first time NATO has committed to police training. Top contributors: France and Italy.

• About $100 million in new aid to help Afghanistan expand the size of its army. Of which Germany added $57 million.

Spain said ahead of the summit that it would add a small contingent to help train Afghan army officers.

The tiny nation of Belgium said it will add some 65 soldiers to a force of 500 and send two more F-16 jet fighters, bringing the total number it has sent to six.

That is not "nothing". It is beyond disgusting to say that Europe committing troops to a War that it did not start, but will help to finish is "nothing". It is not "nothing" to invest political capital in another US President when that war is far from popular in Europe. It is not nothing that the French President, has signed France up to full membership of NATO, despite much opposition and years of French antagonism, because of a greater confidence in a better led American ally. The demonstrations against NATO are making the G8 demonstrations of yesteryear look tame. Buildings are being burned down.

NATO allies are adding more troops because European Leaders believe that the strategy of President Obama is right and they see the right end to the War there.

The Hard Right proves once again that they know nothing about the World. They are NOTHING.
