this was a fruitful reflection which led to the devising and assigning of the north atlantic treaty, treaty that over the 60 years of its existence has become the exporter of stability, freedom, and also a democracy mostly. it turned out to be a very successful experiment. it must be remembered, however, that treaties require us to observe the stipulations. poland is an inherent and so is germany -- and here it -- poland is an inherent -- ad herent, and so as germany and others. this did not -- they did not live only by a defense a pact. they also founded what is today known as the european union. this may be an interesting experiment in the history of mankind that has so been -- so far been tremendously successful. within this community, the balance of power has been superseded by cooperation. what were the prerequisites of that success? first and foremost, a commonality of values, such as freedom, democracy, and pluralism. the next requisite -- the next prerequisite was the rescinding of into real dreams. -- of imperial dreams. without this, the united europe would also be unthinka

tropical storm fred continues to meander around the north atlantic. with winds of 70 miles per hour, not a big deal at this point in time. just becoming a disorganized area of low pressure but we'll continue to monitor fred. in the meantime, let's see what is going on with this area of low pressure that started out over the weekend down off of cape hatteras. this thing would normally move quickly across the region, however as you can see it's taking it's sweet old time throughout the day bringing heavy amounts of rainfall to the area. some places as much as three inches. most places have gotten about a half inch to three quarters of an inch. we'll show you the rainfall from our storm weather in a second. but the system is making it's way toward the north bringing heavy rain to northern pennsylvania and the finger area of new york. now on the larger picture, once the system gets out of here, some pretty decent weather sliding in. tomorrow we'll see cloudy skies around as we gradually move away. but there is a chance tomorrow afternoon we could see a po

and the front allowed cooler air and moisture coming off the north atlantic. this front will slowl drift further to the south by tomorrow. but as it does, it should allow drier air begin to move in by tomorrow afternoon. between now and then, it appears we will have a chance of a little light rain from time to time, perhaps and passing shower and maybe a little bit of patchy drizzle around later this afternoon. otherwise, mostly cloudy with highs reaching the mid-70s. a northeast breeze around 5 to 15. and then a light chance of sprinkles. rain may be around tomorrow tomorrow. some of the drier air should move in from the north on thursday, and then into friday and saturday. we will get sunshine back. highs in the mid-70s. and then for sunday, we may have a return of some rain by the afternoon. and the skins and rams may see a passing shower. highs in the 70s. that's how it looks on this wednesday morning. >> a little rain may help the skins. >> we will take anything we can get. >> yeah, try something new, huh. >>> let's check on traffic. we had some traffic t

that from the head of nato, the north atlantic treaty organization.he renewed commitment here, it would appear to be, to the eight-year-old war comes as president obama faces a looming decision on whether to sends more of our troops into the war zone. his top military advisors are requesting tens of thousands more, but many lawmakers are very much against that idea. major garrett is our senior white house correspondent. he's there tonight. you spoke exclusively, i'm told, to nato's secretary general. how does he explain this quote, as long as it takes? >> well, shep, that inevitably raises in the minds of some americans comparisons with vietnam, as long as it takes, an unending combat situation with an unlikely or ill-defined resolution. i asked rasmussen, the nato secretary general about that. here's his response. >> it's not an adequate answer. we will stay as long as it takes, but it's, of course, not forever. >> why isn't that a contradiction? >> no, because the strategy should be a transition to afghan lead. >> transition to afghan lead. but when

nato has done that for 60 years since the signing of the north atlantic treaty. carnegie has attempted to do it since its founding by andrew carnegie 99 years ago. throughout its history, the endowment has employed different methods and approaches for pursuing this aim. it had, at various times, offices in paris and geneva. working on international conciliation in europe, on financing the reconstruction, and on the work of organizations including founding the academy of international law at the hague. in 2007, kennedy returned to europe, launching its european foreign policy forum, carnegie europe, here in brussels. since then, carnegie scholars have engaged with european policy makers and experts across capitals as well as here at the heart of multilateral europe. the new secretary-general has shown how he intends to proceed by choosing a controversial and deeply important topic, rather than the usual zone for his first speech. many of you will have read his interviews this week in which he talked of his vision of a true strategic partnership with moscow. relati
