“Czechs and Poles get screwed again.”

Remember what Otter told Flounder? “Hey, you f**ked up. You trusted us!”

re: why Russia felt so threatened by a defensive weapon

My guess would be it’s because it would have enshrined in the heart of that troublesome part of the world a shinning example of how advanced our technology is compared to Russia. Right now Russia can take credit for their not being a missile attack on the affected region to their allegiance to being a good neighbor. Once an effective US missile defense shield is in place it will take away Russia’s ruse of being the source of peace.

More than peace through appeasement. 0 is stripping us and our allies of defenses on behalf of his Saudi masters.

We won the Cold War, but the Obama Administration is throwing away the victory. This is not surprising for a man mentored and befriended by numerous Communists and subversive leftists like Frank Marshall Davis and Bill Ayers. Clinton had leftist tendencies, but they were ameliorated by his political realism, which facilitated his survival in Arkansas politics and in post-1994 Washington. The closest comparison to Obama is not Clinton, Carter, or other Democrats going back to Franklin Roosevelt, but Hugo Chavez, Daniel Ortega, Salvador Allende, or the Popular Front in 1930s France.

Impeach obama now.

Simply put, he is intentionally putting US Citizens' lives at risk. The Missile Defense System is known to work. The Iranians are known to be building ever longer ranged weapons, with the intent of building missiles capable of reaching the US with warhead-sized payloads. The Iranians are further known to be pursuing a nuclear weapons program. The Iranian threat to US lives and property is growing.

In the face of this growing threat, obama is stripping away our defensive capabilities. He is intentionally leaving us open to attack while at the same time promoting a foreign policy of appeasement that encourages Iranian adventurism. obama's foreign policy is also forcing Israel into an ever more militant stance, nearly guaranteeing there will be a severe military conflict in the Middle East. This will either provide a direct spark for an attack on the US or our interests, or build long-standing hatred and resentment that will fuel later attacks.

In short, obama has an obvious agenda that is at odds with his sworn oath to the US. obama must be impeached and removed from office for the good of the Country. Please write to your Congressional representatives and encourage them to take a stand, defend American lives and interests from a threat almost too terrible to contemplate, and begin the process of removing obama now.

Hopefully our nation will come to its senses in 2010.

You should read the Drudge Report link and the comments made after. Gives little hope that the nation will come to its senses if those are commenters are any indication. (not all, but some)

The radar system and interceptors in Eastern Europe could’ve defended Poland. However, they were also intended to provide an early engagement of an Iranian missile threat to Europe and the United States. obama’s actions have put all of our lives measurably more at risk. Impeach obama now, he is obviously shirking his duty and his oath to the US.

This was the first thing I saw on Drudge when I got up today...un-effing-believable. This is a direct betrayal of a staunch ally and good friend and an abandonment of rational defense policy...in other words it is par for the course with a Democrat in office.

Gutless, spineless, naive, stupid, cowardly, Marxist SOB. This stupid, stupid man must be removed from office ASAP. He has no respect for our nation, our allies, our form of government or our Constitution. He has already violated his oath of office many times over.

He is steadily destroying our nation economically, militarily, socially...in every conceivable way.

President Obama, you are a f%&*(^& piece of s*^* and not worthy of holding office as a garbage truck scrubber.

Store that in your archives buster!

“This is got to be the most disgusting thing this basterd has done to this once great nation”

I wish it was the most disgusting thing he has done, but he is only getting started. There is worse to come.

Please forgive 52.9 percent of voting Americans, Poland.

Except for the communists among them, they knew not what they were doing.

We must be aware that he did not step on true American soil till he was 20. He has no idea about mom, baseball and apple pie. He never saw a Fourth of July as a teenager or anything that this country has shown to us. He is basically a basterd in the truest sense of the word.
