NATO agrees to missile defense system

President Obama announced on Friday that NATO will develop a missile defense system to safeguard most of Europe and the United States.The system would be "strong enough to cover all of the NATO European territory and populations, as well as the United States," Obama told reporters in Lisbon, Portugal. This strategic concept reconfirms the commitment by NATO members to defend one another against attack, there are also plans to have Afghan forces transition, between 2011 and 2014, and Russia's relationship with NATO and the U.S. is also on the agenda.
