Missle Defense Program

In 2007, President George W. Bush made a deal with Poland and the Czech Republic to install a missile defense program to knock out ballistic missiles from Iran and North Korea in order to protect Europe and America. Today, President Obama has decided to scrap that deal in order to propitiate Russia. Russia, who always sides with Iran, and who recently stated that it would not go along with tougher sanctions with the Iranians in the United Nations, complained how the defense program would destroy relations between the United States and Russia. President Obama decided to give a middle-of-the-night call to two of our staunchest allies in central and eastern Europe to let them know that the US would change their plans. It's great to know Mr. Obama would sell out our allies to appease Russia while also allowing certain threat to our own country's security and especially the security of our European allies.

The President smears the facts about the missile defense system. "YOU LIE!!!"
Smears the Facts

A quote on cnn.com supports my statement, explaining the reason for Mr. Obama's change in directions, "The U.S. reversal is likely to please Russia, which had fiercely opposed the plan".
In other words, let's help out the Russians who recently invaded one of our allies, Georgia, and shaft Poland and the Czech Republic who are supporting our endeavor in Afghanistan.

Here is former democrat, Joe Lieberman's response to Mr. Obama's decision:
Lieberman's Response

Compare that to Nancy Pelosi's response:
"I think this is brilliant...bilateral relationship with Russia is very, very important...I congratulate the administration."

I wonder who Mr. Obama listens to for foreign policy advice. Obviously not moderate Lieberman.

Sad day to be an American when our President turns his back on two great allies.
Sorry Poland. Sorry Czech Republic.

Update:
Bolton on the defense system: Pre-emptive Capitulation
Romney on the defense system: Decision is alarming and dangerous

  1. What is the first thing a child or a bully, like Iran, does when you tell him they can't do something or they aren't able to?.....It's the first thing they DO! The United States and President Obmama should be very watchful over Iran's and Russia's next actions. Don't forget about what kind of role Venezula's Hugo Chavez could play by supplying Iran vital resources.
