If they won't do it for the USofA, why would they do it for your pissant little butt?
Oooooooh. Doing it for you IS doing it for the USofA.
I understand perfectly.
NATO Tussle Looms as Iraq Widens Security Requests

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Iraq widened its requests for NATO support in its battle against insurgents Tuesday, raising the prospect of renewed tension in the alliance because of French opposition to an overt or collective security role.
NATO agreed at a summit in Turkey last month to help train the interim Iraqi government's security forces, but details were left vague after France and Germany resisted a U.S. push for the alliance to be a central agency for training inside the country.
Undaunted, Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari appealed to the 26-nation alliance Tuesday to provide border security support, military equipment and protection for U.N. personnel as well as training for the army which is now being rebuilt.
"We need this training you promised us in Istanbul to be carried out as soon as possible. We need it, in fact we are in a race against time and it's a matter of urgency," Zebari told a news conference after meeting alliance ambassadors.
"We expect NATO really to look into other options for us also," he added, calling for assistance with border controls and with security for U.N. offices and U.N. personnel involved in running next year's elections.
