Good to know, but I wish that I felt as confident about the resolve of NATO member nations as you appear to be. 'An attack on one is an attack on all' is a simple enough concept but somewhat overtaken by the shiny eyed resolve of those attracted by the anticipated founding of a United States of Europe fielding its own military. The internal contradictions will supplant any will to confront possible external threats. Now who might possibly benefit from that?
I take it that your cryptic comment refers to the speech by the then Secretary General, Lord Robertson :-

NATO resolve then or now is not the issue. It is the resolve and commitment of NATO member nations that is in question. Without the latter the former quickly becomes irrelevant.
