If you draw a line on the globe from Iran to the east coast of the US it goes right over Poland. There are few places that would be better for a forward base than there. And now Obama is talking about backstabbing them and showing to the world that an alliance with us isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
President Ronald Reagan

I understand your point, but it’s absurd to suggest that we couldn’t shoot down a missle in the 5,000+ miles between the eastern seaboard and Poland. It is required for their defence, not for ours.
