NATO BACKS Bush’s missile defense system. Apparently, we can still get some things done diplomatically in Europe.

UPDATE: Mick Stockinger notes that this makes things tough for Democratic opponents of the plan: “Making the missile defense a NATO alliance program sets a trap for the Democrats, who are on record as wanting to ‘strengthen our traditional alliances’. Unilaterally abrogating the program would put them in a position of going-it-alone and having to explain to the American people what they are doing.”
