It used to... if Britain invokes Article 5, then we are obligated to aid in her defense... which means that GWB does not have to go to Congress for a declaration of war before orderinf troops to Iran. Sadly, Blair won't have the stones for it.

It means the French have a way to show how relevant they are by dragging their feet on any real show of force by NATO.

Inasmuch as Denmark is also a Charter member nation, and it's sovereign territory was physically attcked last year over the "cartoon" thing, I guess you can only draw your own conclusion about Nato membership, even as I have done...
