This news is breaking.

Barack Obama has abandoned the controversial Pentagon plan to build a missile defence system in Europe. The move has prompted angry accusations of betrayal from Washington's eastern European allies but delighted the Kremlin.

In one of the sharpest breaks yet with the policies of the Bush administration, Obama phoned the leaders of Poland and the Czech Republic last night to tell them that he had dropped plans to site missile interceptors and a radar station in their respective countries. Russia had furiously opposed the project, claiming it targeted Moscow's nuclear arsenal.

Hey Europe, where's your Obama now?

[B-Chan]

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

[Dixie Yooper]

Hey Europe! If you think you hate us now..., just wait until the Russians are telling you just how much to hate us.

Do you feel safer now? I'll take ‘complete surrender to terrorists and communists’ for $1,000, Alex.

All the pro-Americans in Eastern Europe just got the ground kicked out from beneath them.

All the anti-Americans in Eastern Europe are just loving this.

That SOB did this on the day that HItler invaded Poland. ---The Day That Hitler Invaded Poland! ---The Day That Hitler Invaded Poland...NO Concidence is Right! Thanks for bringing this to light.

Part of Obama’s plan to bring the US “down to size”.

I blame the media for not vetting this monster.

“I blame the media for not vetting this monster.”

The Fringe Media???

They helped elect him.

[MrsEmmaPeel]

They helped elect him
I know. The problem is greater than the idiot in the White House. Its the fringe media that put him there. If he were vetted (if any one in the media was at least a little honest), I doubt if we'd be in this mess.

Actually this is the anniversary of the day Stalin invaded Poland. Hitler invaded at the end of August.

The irony is even more bitter because we are doing this to appease Putin and his hand puppet Medvedev.

Lovely, just lovely. Comrade Obama strikes again.

[The Sons of Liberty]

I’m afraid it is only a matter of time before Comrade 0bama scraps the missile shield in the US. The Kim, Imanutjob and anyone else can lob their missiles without worrying about them being knocked down.

[Nevermore]

Russia had furiously opposed the project, claiming it targeted Moscow's nuclear arsenal.

And this is bad because . . . ??

"How dare you attempt to defend yourself against nuclear annihilation!"

Now, there's Chutzpah, for you.

Nothing else needs to be said.

“Russia had furiously opposed the project, claiming it targeted Moscow’s nuclear arsenal.”

Comrades, the targets of these missiles is the incoming nuclear ICBMs. The defensive system does not target the bunkers of the glorious peoples nuclear stockpiles.

Do not fly your warheads, we will not target them.
