[Krosan]

Libya has never been a NATO treaty operation. There has been only one military operation triggered by NATO treaty in history:

On 12 September, NATO decided that, if it is determined that the attack against the United States was directed from abroad, it shall be regarded as an action covered by Article 5 of the Washington Treaty.

This is the first time in the Alliance's history that Article 5 has been invoked.

Krosan, thank you for putting the record straight.

NATO lost its way when the Balkan operation began. I still don't know which NATO nation was attacked by Serbia. Anyone?

Nevertheless even in Afghanistan, when clearly a NATO country was attacked, the response by most signatories was tepid. Traditional US allies went in heavy, the rest, not so much.
