"Mr President, I was born in 1944, in the dying months of the Second World War. For my whole lifetime NATO and the Transatlantic Alliance have kept the peace in Europe. It was not the European Union or the Commission that defeated the USSR and brought down the Berlin Wall. It was the courage and determination of leaders like Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. The CFSP and its military posturing threaten to undermine the Transatlantic Alliance. It is born out of jealousy, resentment and anti-Americanism. It is overweight with strategies, planning papers and staff colleges, but desperately light on men and ships, tanks, guns and aircraft. The CFSP threatens the very foundations of Western security and leaves us all dangerously exposed in an unpredictable world. This is yet another reason why my country would be better off out of the European Union."@en1
