WASHINGTON TIMES.com (AP): Moscow - "GENERAL SAYS U.S. LOOKING FOR FIGHT" by Mike Eckel (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Among the issues that have most undermined Russian-U.S. relations in recent years is a U.S. plan to put elements of a missile defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic -- former Warsaw Pact members that have joined NATO. Russia has claimed the system will be used to spy on Russian missile and military forces; Washington says it will help defend Europe from a potential missile attack from Iran.") (December 16, 2007)
