'NATO parliamentarians'?: NATO parliamentarians? What the hell are NATO parliamentarians? ... Well, the Palestinians now have NATO 'observer status.' ... My immediate thought was, 'There has to be a French angle on this.' Sure enough, there is. Scroll down till ya find the name of one Pierre Lellouche, a French deputy and president of the 'NATO PA.' Don't know if the Assembly is good or bad -- or for that matter the inclusion of so many non-NATO 'associate' members within the 'Assembly.' Maybe it's just a place where people can rattle their spoons. But Hub Blog's BS detector starts pinging when a defense alliance refers to an arm of itself as a 'parliament.' ... I'm also paying for it, I assume.
