We’re sending 17,000 troops to Afghanistan.  The combined forces of Europe are sending … 300.  And those 300 come only from France, a remarkable gesture, and one that clearly shows the uselessness of the rest of the alliance on this issue.

Remember when Obama insisted that the problem of European detachment originated with George Bush?  Well, Bush is gone, and our NATO allies are mostly no-shows on the front lines.  Other than Canada, the UK, Australia, the Dutch, and Poland, we’re mostly getting REMFs (look it up) when we get anything at all.
