NATO would be willing to listen if Iraq asks for help
Last Updated Wed, 16 Jun 2004 18:35:20
BRUSSELS - NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer says the military alliance would be prepared to listen to Iraq's new government if it came seeking assistance in stabilizing the country.
INDEPTH: Iraq
Last week U.S. President George W. Bush said NATO should be involved in Iraq.
So far the military alliance has limited itself to providing logistical support for a Polish-led division in south-central Iraq.
NATO is due to hold a summit in Istanbul just two days before Iraq's new interim government takes power.

If NATO goes, then so does Canada. I would venture to guess the earliest NATO forces coiuld move in there is about a year if they do go. What capasity would Canada be able to contribute, I wonder?
