My apologies to Poland and the Czech Republic.

[BilLies]

Outstanding composition.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Today marks exactly, to the day, seventy years since the Soviet Union invaded Poland.

Holy shit....and we set the stage for it again today.

Some have said Obama doesn’t know history and the Russians picked this date. Having watched this narcissistic b——— in action a few months, he knows what this date means exactly and is thumbing his nose at freedom-loving people everywhere.

I like this version better

The MSM added Bushes name to make it somehow sound political like all the boogie man Bush did was bad, so 0bama the false messiah can appeal to his own left wing.

Don’t forget this action tells the Israelis a lot too.
The United States will cut you off in a minute.

[this is my country]

Thank you for the catalogue of all my frustration and feelings of helplessness while watching my country disintegrate before my eyes.

Time for Eastern Europe to organize their own self defense systems.

No help from their former friends now.

[Huck]

Interesting comments on that blog. I tend to agree with those who say we can’t afford it. And that Europe should defend itself.

[Huck]

Time for Eastern Europe to organize their own self defense systems.

Amen. Why should we do it?

[Thermalseeker]

Don’t forget this action tells the Israelis a lot too.

Yep. Although I don't think Israel has a whole lot of choice in the matter. They have to act or face annihilation, with or without the USA's approval. Israel finds themselves between a rock and a hard place. If they act, war will certainly be declared against them by a much larger aggressor(s). If they don't act they'll likely get nuked by Iran sometime in the next few years. As an old acquaintance of mine used to say "When it gets down to you or me, you gotta go!" .....

“Time for Eastern Europe to organize their own self defense systems.

No help from their former friends now.”

That is very obvious with this announcement.

[Kozak]

And it comes on the 70th Anniversary of the Soviet Invasion of Poland.

If America’s word is only good until the next election, maybe monarchy wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

Obama believes we have a monarchy, and that he is the King.

[eclecticEel]

but recent tests and intelligence have indicated that Tehran is moving more rapidly toward developing short- and medium-range missiles.

And what about in ten years timeframe, what kind of missiles will Iran be hosting then? This administration can be shortsighted to a fault.

[nina0113]

Yeah, that’s the problem with monarchs - how do you get a good one? And what do you do if he turns bad?

[NavVet]

I think I posted something when Obama made that amateurish overture to the Soviet..., I mean Russians, soon after he came into office that the U.S. would abandon missile defense in Europe for help with Iran. If I recall, I opined that the Russians knew they didn't have to give an inch, and Obama would still kill the program.

So, in the course, of a week, we have caved to North Korea, caved to Iran, betrayed our best European allies, knifed Honduras in the back, and sucked up to an American hating dictator in Venezuela. Nice.

[Dream Warrior]

Can we really wait for 2012?

[NavVet]

The shield never had anything to do with defending those two countries. It would have defended all of Europe.

[Huck]

Screw Europe. Let em defend themselves.
