"The U.S. brought no firm proposals because they have none," Robertson told reporters. "There was no division, no falling out...the 19 NATO members are in a thinking process together in serious and business-like fashion," the NATO chief insisted. "It was pure invention to suggest that a plan was flogged when none was tabled," he complained. U.S. press reports from Tuesday's meeting between U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell and NATO allies referred to an Alliance rift over America's plans for missile defence. Washington's NATO partners had failed to endorse the deployment of a missile shield against rogue nations, the reports said. But Robertson and U.S. State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said Washington was still in the process of consulting its allies on the issue. "Nobody criticised us," Boucher insisted.
