OBAMA STARTS TALKING ABOUT NATO AND EUROPE.

UPDATE: From TigerHawk, praise for Obama: “At a time when ‘traditional allies’ has become almost synonymous with ‘free riders,’ this is welcome from the candidate of the left.” Plus a suggestion that the Obama campaign might actually welcome: “Now we need some principles to build upon. How about this one: We will consult extensively on collective security matters with any power that spends on defense at least 2% of GDP — half the level of the United States — and has the lift capacity to deliver at least some fully-equipped and combat ready soldiers anywhere in the world.”
