Gulf Daily News November 27, 2009 Nato chief mulls missile shield BERLIN: Nato would protect its member countries and populations with an anti-missile shield if Iran got its hands on a nuclear bomb, the alliance's secretary general Anders Fogh Rasmussen said yesterday. Speaking in Berlin before a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Rasmussen said: "First, let me stress that Nato as such is not a part in the international endeavours to put pressure on Iran right now. "I do hope that we, through diplomatic and political pressure, are able to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear capability." If Tehran were to become nuclear armed, however, "it might of course eventually become Nato business as well, because then, it is a question of protecting our territories and our populations against a potential threat. "To that end, we are right now considering the possibility to establish missile defence which also covers Europe," the Nato boss said. Talks with Iran over its disputed nuclear programme appeared to stall yesterday as delegates from the UN atomic watchdog met in Vienna. =========================== 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. ============================== --------------------------- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: [email protected] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.bNM5nn.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [email protected] For Topica's complete suite of email marketing solutions visit: http://www.topica.com/?p=TEXFOOTER --^----------------------------------------------------------------
