The Obama administration has told NATO allies it will back Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussuen to head the alliance, according to media reports, an endorsement that would quash speculation of Canadian Defence Minister Peter MacKay's appointment.

    I am very disapointed at the US Administration for doing this. This should have gone to MacKay and Canada.

    Racist?? he's all for opening up Europe to more Turks and other ethnicities that will create more Islamic ghettos in Europe.

    Say again? Are we talking about the same Rasmussen? He has pushed several anti-islamist policies and strict domestic laws against immigration. That's how he's won the elections in Denmark?!

    Sounds like a sensible man to me. Danes should be proud of a leader who want to keep the country clean and stop the nits from growing into full-blown lice.

    Nah. Peter's a good guy and we need him here until the time comes for him to take over the leadership.

    Good, maybe now MacKay can worry about doing the job he already has.

    I'm quite sure he is.

    It's crass politics to shoot down a Canadians appointment simply because he's from the wrong party. We've done far more than most other nations when it's come to NATO and I'm tired of pandering to these weak European nations who are more worried about their own political necks than their own back yards.
    Besides, Kerry's a better PM in waiting.

    McKay won't get the post because he is from the wrong country. The USA will always lead the military end of NATO, and the Euro's won't allow anyone other than themselves to lead the political side.

    Canada will end up getting left out in the cold, kinda burns especially when "johnny come back lately" member France will likely have more influential NATO postings than faithful member Canada.

    One look at our defence spending might undermine that assertion.

    Yeah, I guess so. He's helped Harper cancel all sorts of projects...
