The United States should find a way to collaborate with Russia in establishment of missile defenses, U.S. President Barack Obama said yesterday (see GSN, Sept. 29).
"It is important for us to reach out to Russia and explore ways in which the missile defense configurations that we envision could potentially lead to further collaboration," Obama said after meeting with NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen.
"We want to improve generally not only U.S.-Russian relations, but also NATO-Russian relations, while making absolutely clear that our commitments to all of our allies in NATO is sacrosanct," the president added, according to Agence France-Presse.
The Obama administration earlier this month scrapped a Bush-era plan to deploy missile defenses in Poland and the Czech Republic. Moscow had strenuously objected to the initiative as a threat to its strategic security and threatened to deploy short-range missiles near Poland if the plan came to fruition

Oh lovely......so, we can throw our allies under the bus and collaborate with those who don’t really have our best interests at heart???
Please..
My reaction:
Laughter, gut-busting, tears streaming down face, laughter!!
followed closely by:
sobs, weeping, grinding teeth...
These are my fairly standard reactions to the ideas, beliefs and policies of this president.
Nothing Russia has told us yet has been the truth. It’s not in their nature. He wants missle defense agreements with them? This guy is nuts.
Reagan said that to expose the lies of the Kremlin. Reagan played the Soviet Union, not the other way around
Putin must be wondering why he even bothered with all that KGB training. This is just way too easy.
I would rather have Gomer Pyle as the brains behind our international strategy.
Obama is really loosing it. Now he thinks Russia will put up an anti missle defence shield against its own nuclear missles.
What a Moron!

Obama part of group locked up at Russian airport // U.S. delegation stripped of passports as guards demand to inspect plane
Chicago Sun-Times (IL) - Monday, August 29, 2005
Author: Lynn Sweet, Sun-Times Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON — Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) were not allowed to leave a Russian airport Sunday and were locked in a room briefly.
The incident prevented their departure for about three hours, but Obama told the Sun-Times “it ended up not being a very big deal.”
The senators had their passports seized by local officials at an airport in Perm. Obama said the officials demanded, unsuccessfully, to inspect the DC-9 military aircraft being used by the congressional delegation for the trip.

Although he was on a first-time diplomatic mission, Obama has traveled extensively, spending part of his youth in Indonesia and visiting Kenya, where his father was born. He noted that as a back- packing college student he had “a lot less leverage than this time.”
Obama , a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, and Lugar, its chairman, left Wednesday for a trip to inspect sites where nuclear and biological weapons are slated to be destroyed in Russia, Ukraine and Azerbaijan. On Sunday, the U.S. group was scheduled to fly from Perm to Kiev, Ukraine. But border guards wanted proof that the group’s aircraft — which Obama said looked like a “mini-Air Force One” — was really an official U.S. government plane, which would be exempt from an inspection.
Robert Gibbs, Obama ‘s spokesman traveling with him, said in an e-mail that “the border guards took our passports and demanded to inspect our aircraft, which we refused. We were moved to a room to wait.”
“At one point they were demanding to inspect virtually everything, including the gifts their representatives at the missile facility had given us.” The border guard said “they were acting on the authority of the FSB,” the Russian intelligence agency.

This would a great time to invest in Bomb Shelter futures.
when we “collaborate” with our rivals it means we give them our technology and they figure out how to copy it and/or neutralize it
perfect
I swear the KGB has the birth certificate
I think Obama is to the far left of even Pootie Poot.
That’s easy. Russia will have, say, 30,000 warheads, MIRVed, on mobile missiles that can be moved anywhere in Russia or the European continent. America will have none. Russia will defend us from everything. How’s that?
The “Obama Decision Dartboard” today says “Say something stupid”
Mommy, please make Obozo go away, please, please?
This sounds like the chickens announcing that they want to collaborate with the fox on how to secure the hen house.
Obama doesn't even hide the fact that he's a traitor...impeach the SOB!!!
"As the myths grew, one of them was that I had proposed the ideas to produce a bargaining chip for use in getting the Soviets to reduce their weaponry. I've had to tell the Soviet leaders a hundred times that the SDI was not a bargaining chip. I've told them I'd share it with others willing to give up their nuclear missiles."
bump
This borders on treasonous.
