President Barack Obama has decided to scrap plans for a U.S. missile defense shield in the Czech Republic and Poland that had deeply angered Russia, the Czech prime minister confirmed Thursday.
NATO's new chief hailed the move as "a positive step" and a Russian analyst said the move will increase the chances that Russia will cooperate more closely with the United States in the dispute over Iran's nuclear program.
Premier Jan Fischer told reporters that Obama phoned him overnight to say that "his government is pulling out of plans to build a missile defense radar on Czech territory."
"The same happened with Poland. Poland was informed in the same way about this intention," Fischer said.

Obama voters wear pants 12 sizes too big and use one hand to hold them up while they walk or vote. So, no. They didn't think that far ahead.
How about cancelling the F-22?
Will there ever come a time that Poland will not be sold down the river to please a great or formerly great power? All of Central Europe is watching closely. My advice to Ukraine, Georgia and the rest is to mind your Russian masters, they are calling the shots and you are very much on your own now.
Just one more reason to take Congress back in 2010.
Obama to the Czech Republic and Poland: “Drop dead”.
IIRC, weren’t Czechoslovakia and Poland offered up as sacrificial lambs by Neville Chamberlain.
The irony is too much for me.

( Bitter sarcasm on )
Yeah, I sure feel safer now that we got that Cowboy Boosh! and Darth Cheney out of the White House...

This is absolutely appalling!
Wonder if O is going to tell us how much money we will save on the defense system to go towards his Health Care Program.
I am absolutely fed up with this Administration!
Czechoslovakia was, anyway. Even Chamberlain got the message when Poland was under the hammer.
“I sure feel safer now that we got that Cowboy Boosh! and Darth Cheney out of the White House...”
Perfect.
The NY Times article on this is the one of the most syncopatic pieces of crap I have ever seen!
PEr the NYT, this missle system “Divides Europe”, was just a “reward for supporting the Iraq Invasion”, and getting rid of it will “Reset relations” with the Russians.
Are these people freaking insane??
The Russians won’t even shake Obama’s hand. Who are these people kidding??
What’s next?
- “...from now on, the U.S. military will no longer be ‘military’, but will be used for community service...”
How about cancelling Obama? He needs to be impeached and tried for treason.
Right now, Obama needs to appease his leftist moonbat supporters. They are coming unglued.
He has rehired Blackwater, extended Rendition, is continuing the wars, etc,etc.
The Healthcare thing has been a debacle for him. What was promised to be ‘”Free!” Healthcare’, is now looking to be vary expensive, and written by the Insurance lobby themselves.
HE hasn’t been able to deliver on ANY of his promises, at all.
This is an easy, cheap, and simple bone he can throw to the A.N.S.W.E.R. Communist morons who were his most worshipping campaign servants.
“How about cancelling Obama? He needs to be impeached and tried for treason.”
Am wondering if you can try for treason someone who is not a US citizen?
It’s not the Emperor has no clothes.
It’s the Emperor has no balls.
Unless of copurse he is shafting the American people, then he has a huge set..
At one time I thought Zero was just a complete moral coward, but now I truly believe he is actively doing everything possible to undermine our country.
