U.S. to Shelve Nuclear-Missile Shield in Europe(next is to make America defenseless - thanks Zer0)

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.

I wonder if the US citizens realized when the pulled that lever for hope and change that we were electing someone who embraces or enemines while rebuking and neutering our allies?

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.

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.

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.

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.

MY GOD, we have just resurrected the military threat by Soviet Union in Eastern Europe. It's 1945 again and the Russians have reconquered Eastern Europe. Which politician in Eastern Europe can not see that ACCOMODATION policies of 1945-1989 with Russia are necessary again in order to survive any semblance of Independence. If they don't accommodate Russia they will be subverted with the threat of invasion.
Better pull the troops out of Afghanistan, Western Europe will be needing them for a “Shield.”

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.

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.
