Obama 'ready to drop shield plans for Russian help on Iran'
RIA Novosti ^ | 3/2/09 | RIA Novosti

MOSCOW, March 2 (RIA Novosti) - Washington has told Moscow that Russian help in resolving Iran's nuclear program would make its missile shield plans for Europe unnecessary, a Russian daily said on Monday, citing White House sources.

U.S. President Barack Obama made the proposal on Iran in a letter to his Russian counterpart, Dmitry Medvedev, Kommersant said, referring to unidentified U.S. officials.

Iran's controversial nuclear program was cited by the U.S. as one of the reasons behind its plans to deploy a missile base in Poland and radar in the Czech Republic. The missile shield has been strongly opposed by Russia, which views it as a threat to its national security. The dispute has strained relations between the former Cold War rivals, already tense over a host of other differences.

The leaders have exchanged letters and had a telephone conversation since Obama was sworn into office in January, Kommersant said. The first high-level Russia-U.S. meeting will take place later this week, when Russia Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov meets with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Geneva.

The only thing communists are good at is lying. The fact BO doesn’t know that is just incredible.

I’ve been saying the exact same thing to my hubby for a little over a week now.

He was going to drop the missile shield anyway.

He’s trying to block his successors from rebuilding it with this agreement.

Russia can say/do whatever Obama wants them to - do they think the ayatollahs give a damn about what Russia asks them to do?

"The dust-bin of history is littered with the remains of those countries which relied on diplomacy to secure their freedom. We must never forget... in the final analysis... that it is our military, industrial and economic strength that offers the best guarantee of peace for America in times of danger."
~~~ Governor Ronald Reagan, Sept. 9, 1974.
