Associated Press November 24, 2009 NATO holds talks on global missions, except Afghanistan BRUSSELS, Belgium — NATO military officials are pledging forces for the alliance's global military missions, except the war in Afghanistan which is still awaiting President Barack Obama's decision on whether to commit new troops. NATO spokesman Col. Greg Julian says Tuesday's staff-level meeting will focus on generating contributions for NATO's force in Kosovo, its anti-piracy patrols off Somalia, a naval mission in the Mediterranean, and the alliance's various headquarters. A special meeting on Afghanistan has tentatively been scheduled for Dec. 7 after Obama's expected announcement and a meeting of NATO foreign ministers. The alliance holds regular annual conferences where allies pledge troops, equipment and other resources to fulfil the requirements of NATO missions abroad. =========================== Stop NATO http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopnato Blog site: http://rickrozoff.wordpress.com/ To subscribe, send an e-mail to: [email protected] or [email protected] Daily digest option available. ==============================
