"Airshow" at NATO?

No fucking way.

Biden, according to The Washington Post newspaper, is to press European allies in the coming days to support MacKay's candidacy as NATO secretary general when the post becomes open mid-2009.

Washington wants MacKay to be appointed to reward Canada for its "valiant combat performance in Afghanistan," according to Post columnist Jim Hoagland.
I-don't-know-how-many-dead Afghans, 113 dead Canadians, many more maimed, so a [insert chosen descriptive] like Airshow gets the big chair at the big table? Does this, as tbird suggested, have anything to do with Canada's latest Russian affair?

Let this be false.

UPDATE: A.L.I.S.O.N.
