 Bulletin 18 - European Missile Defence: New Emphasis, New Roles
Whilst a US NMD system would be required to intercept large, long-range, 'strategic' missiles, Europe is more likely to face an attack by shorter range missiles since the nations of Europe are much closer to the so-called 'states of concern' cited by NMD advocates in the United States as those with potential threat missiles.
If any European government were to develop an interest in using its nascent TMD technology to help the United States develop a NMD system, it would undoubtedly receive the support of the Bush administration.
At present, European companies have had little success in winning more than minor contracts for the various missile defence programmes ongoing in the United States, but they are keen for a slice of what could be a very large pie.

 George Washington: The Commander In Chief
A royal governor was hemmed in, apparently with abundant naval and military forces to enforce his orders, but was unable to command a single bit of aid outside of Boston, where he was regarded merely as a military commander of a besieged town.
He had to be commander, chief engineer, chief of intelligence, soldier, judge, statesman, quartermaster, commissary head, sanitary head, and not only take orders from Congress but also to advise Congress on legislative matters.
lthough considered stern, cold, and remote, commanding the respect of the rank and file and the public by the forcefulness of his personality and his high character, he was not a hard man or a martinet.
