حلف شمال الأطلسي في ريجا. أقوم بمتابعتك يا جورج/ حلف شمال الأطلس في ريجا جورج أنا أراقبك
More context would explain the word watching you more clearly

in that case
حلف شمال الأطلس في ريجا جورج أنا أراقبك
I'd also use the plural form in Arabic
حلف شمال الأطلس في ريجا جورج نحن نراقبك
we are watching you

Note from asker:
| There will be NATO Summit in Riga in a month. It's a slogan and George is Bush. |
| I'd say a warning slogan. |

منظمة الناتو في مدينة ريجا. جورج، أنا أراقبك!
I don't know what is the trick? And why you categorised the question as "Electronics / Elect Eng"?
Anyway, this is the literal translation.

You long expression for NATO is:
منظمة حلف شمال الأطلنطي/الأطلسي
From
North Atlantic Treaty Organisation
ٍSo, the other option is:
منظمة حلف شمال الأطلنطي في مدينة ريجا. جورج، أنا أراقبك.
--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 21 mins (2006-10-30 11:29:43 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
In this case, I think the my first suggestion would do, which is
منظمة الناتو في مدينة ريجا. جورج، أنا أراقبك!
Wait for our colleagues to confirm.

| Sorry, had an operation on my right palm and using only left hand at the moment. That causes me to make many mistakes. |
| Yes, I would be grateful for one answer. Some non-profit group asked us to help them with this sentence. |

Yes,but "I'm watching you" is negative,unless when said jokingly or in a sarcastic way.You should've seen De Niro in Meet the Parents when he used to say "I'll be watching you, studying your every move" to an actor,and holds two fingers before his eyes :D

Nesrin
: The asker's comment to Mohamed clarifies the context... Since it's a slogan, I think it's better to keep it short: الناتو في ريجا - جورج، أنا أراقبك! And of course the exclamation mark should be on the other side of the sentence, but we can't control it!

الناتو في ريغا. أنا أراقبك يا جورج!
Just trying to make it as short as possible, given that it's sort of a slogan.
