NATO Prepares Resolution -- 11:05 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

CNN is reporting that NATO is preparing to invoke their self-defense charter for the first time in the organization's history. Here's what that would mean:
The proposal, put forward by NATO Secretary-General George Robertson, would call for support of Article Five of the alliance's charter, which is the basic reason for NATO's existence.

It spells out the requirement that if one of NATO's members is attacked, all its allies would defend it.

One official put it this way: "A hit for one is a hit for all."
Update 3:20pm: NATO has unanimously approved application of Article V to this situation. The attack on the US is now an attack on all NATO member states.
