Description
The speech on the future of NATO given by outgoing U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates is one that deserves to be studied carefully by policy makers here in Canada. Not only does the speech contain gems of truth, but it is remarkable for its consistency with Candidate Barack Obama's policy pronouncements of a few years ago. The question remains whether Europe actually gets the message, or if they get it whether they are prepared to gamble that Obama is bluffing. The real gem of truth is the proposition that the purpose of defence spending is to generate real combat power.
