Bush presided Monday at a White House ceremony to greet the prime ministers of the new member nations along with NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer.
With the addition of Bulgaria, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia, NATO's membership grows from 19 countries to 26. The new members will take part in their first meeting Friday in Brussels. Three other nations - Albania, Croatia and Macedonia - hope to join.
NATO has agreed to include the Baltic states under its air defense shield, planning to enforce it by stationing four F-16 fighter planes in Lithuania.
The latest from Yahoo reads as follows:
President Bush welcomed seven former Soviet-dominated nations into NATO as "full and equal partners" on Monday and said the Western alliance was stronger because of their presence.
Under a bright sun on the White House South Lawn, Bush stood with the prime ministers of Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. Hundreds of people cheered. Some waved flags of the new member nations, whose addition expands the alliance to 26 countries.
A military honor guard carried the flags of the NATO countries.
Fifty-five years after NATO's birth, Bush recalled that the seven new members were "captives to an empire" when the alliance was formed.

Just saw Cheney on Fox speak regarding Kerry's choice for VP."Will he choose someone sober,serious,well versed in foreign policy or choose someone full of charisma and charm like President Bush did?"

The seven eastern European allies joined NATO in a triumphant ceremony Monday but the expansion could slow deployments Any ideas why that might be, anybody? I hadn't read that before.
My, the PM of Romania is an attractive man.

Truthy, the pix are stunning today! ALL the principles, and General Meyers too. Sandy Berger is a downer, but otherwise, a truly great dose.
Aww heck, it's the Dose dedicated to Eric's return isn't it. No wonder the pictures are extra special!!

MEG, I'm getting a feeling that we are living parallel lives. Just saw the same thing. LOL. Of course Kerry's take was the WH trotted him out to, guess what, Attack Kerry.
