PRAGUE – 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.

“and a Russian analyst said Obama’s decision will increase the chances that Russia will cooperate more closely with the United States in the dispute over Iran’s nuclear program.”

Yeah appeasement has always worked so well.

The real question is why Russia felt so threatened by a defensive weapon.

The period we are going into will be worse than the 1970's.

Is Obama deliberately humiliating the us for rejecting health care nationalization and cap’n trade?
Is this his idea of punishment?

Conspiracy Theory Alert: In return for discounted arms sales to Chavez, Obama relents on missile defense for awakening Bear.

Fits the pattern. The dimrats always side with our enemies even when they are in power. Makes no sense because it always comes back to bite them in the ass.

Great day for the russkies. They invaded a defeated country 70 years ago today and defeated another one 70 years later. Did we really win the cold war? This is got to be the most disgusting thing this basterd has done to this once great nation.

You can’t say you are surprised by this move are you?

I saw thus coming during the election.

My question is, how is Obama going to react when Israel bombs Iran’s nuke facility.

I’m thinking he’ll chastise Israel & remain nuetral.

Will US troops in Iraq be told to stand down & allow Iranian missiles to fly over Iraqi air space.
