Sources: Admin Officials Head to Poland, Czech Rep. to Kill Missile Defense
http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2009/09/sources_admin_officials_head_t.asp ^ | 9/16/09

According to reliable sources, Obama administration officials are on their way to Poland and the Czech Republic to deliver very bad news. The administration intends to cancel completely the missile defense sites that had been promised to these governments by the previous administration. This represents a complete capitulation to Russia's Vladimir Putin, who had demanded that the proposed deployments be halted as a price for improved relations. Ironically, the Obama administration, which is appeasing Russia in the hopes that Moscow will help put pressure on Iran, has made this mammoth concession just a few days after Moscow declared that it had no intention of supporting sanctions against Iran.

Incredibly dumb but widely anticipated. The Leftists will never learn that defense PREVENTS wars.

Meanwhile, Iran will have nukes, North Korea will have nukes ... And we will be the target. I am sure Obama loves America.

The Leftists know that anti-missile defense system placed in Poland and Czech would prevent war ~ and also prevent the Iranian madmen from intimidating and blackmailing the wimps in Western Europe.

Obama is doing this on behalf of his friends in Russia ~ and for his ideology.

He's one dumb cookie. I tell you, before this regime comes to an end we'll have to put Obama and his running dog lackeys in cells.

Comrade Barack is taking orders from the Soviets.

Just like Ted Kennedy calling Russia and undercutting Reagan.

This is friggin surreal.

Obama's WMD Czar Gary Samore
As Deputy to Ambassador-at-Large Robert Gallucci, he led U.S. expert-level negotiations with North Korea, the Republic of Korea and Japan, resulting in the completion of the 1994 US-North Korea Agreed Framework and the formation of the Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization in 1995.

Gee. That worked out really neat. /s

Saw this one coming a mile away. He’s doing it in exchange for vague promises from Medvedev on which the latter has no intention of delivering. Meanwhile Russian weapons are being delivered to Huey Chavez and the Russian navy has unrestricted access to Venezuela’s ports. Those hits just keep a-rollin’...

I guess it would be RACIST to say Obammy is a bit off target here. Well if I'm gonna be called a racist then perhaps I was too kind in saying he was a bit off here. In fact this is one of most misguided, dangerous, and ill advised foreign policy in his new administration. This will put poland and other east European countries in danger, and will spread un-american feelings in Europe. Obama shows himself to be a rube, a man child who steers America along a dangerous path of not meeting with other world leaders face to face, but on our knees. Pray for this Country, because this president is a dangerous fool.

Sell the missiles to Poland and the Czech Republic and let them run their own show. If we sell them the tools to defend themselves then they don’t have to depend on whoever happens to be in the White House.

Obama might be calculating — maybe correctly — that if he appeases (i.e. ass kisses) Putin enough, Putin will gobble him up last.

What blows my mind is how incredibly naive this is. We turn our back on our friends, in exchange for promises from those who only care about their own interests, not ours, and we really believe they’ll stand by those promises. And this after time and time again getting burned!

Unilaterally? Unbelievable.

Obama has no clue. He has a club in that missile defense system, and the Iranian threat to keep its deployment on track. That puts a lot of cards into Obama's hand.

What a fool.

This is nothing short of wicked and evil. Unbelievably shameful. The Marxists in the White House and the State Department have reversed everything we have worked for during the past nearly 30 years. The Eastern Europeans stuck their necks out, trusting us, and we have betrayed them shamefully. This will not end well. I keep thinking of what happened at Yalta, and how we handed those poor people over to Stalin — who then went back on his part of the bargain and enslaved them for nearly half a century. For shame.

Georgia found out that we forgot them.

Actually, sorta smart by Mendevev. threaten to install weapons and nuke power to Chavez,...otherwise end your nuclear umbrella.

Besides, Obama needs to find money to fund the Clunker program,..and the anticipated 1 trillion dollar healthcare subsidization.

A glimmer of hope here.....

Who else has missile defense and it may be based on ours and modified and tweaked to the enth degree?

Israel.

The question is do they have a clean sheet of paper design or would they piss off Raytheon by cloning theirs?

Either way Israel would take over our roll as the defender of liberty of they stepped in to keep PL & CZ free from the threat of the Russian Bear.

It would be poetic justice on so many levels if they did this i.e. against the Bamster and everything he stands for.

This is huge.

This is going to impact all the European economy and security because now there is nothing to stop the Russkis from major oil and gas price gouging, as well as presenting a major threat to the Heorgia, Ukraine, Czech Republic and others.

The irony would be hilarious if it weren't so damn creepy. And I'm sure that it's not lost on the Poles.

Poland has been one of our best allies in recent years, and this is what they get in return. Screwed by us, on their version of 9/11.
