First off, if you don’t know what NATO is, it stands for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It’s a military alliance of countries who mutually agree to defend each other when one is in danger. Member countries include: Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States.

Today they admitted that they have been mistakenly supplying food, water and arms to Taliban forces in southern Afghanistan! They were supposed to drop the supplies off at a certain point, forgot how to read a map, and dropped the supplies some where away, where the Taliban grabbed it and gave the thumbs up to the men on board the helicopter. The pallet of supplies included rockets propelled gernades, ammunition, water, and food. Politicians in Afghanistan believe it was done purposely, while NATO’s general blames it on “human error” aka idiocy. “We are aware of it but we are not fired up about it. It sounds like someone made a mistake. It was a cock-up rather than a conspiracy.”The forces on the ground are working to get the message across that we do not deliberately supply the Taliban with arms.” I would hope not!
