RUMOR MILL (as of yet unconfirmed since the report has not been made public yet): Per Investor's Business Daily Friday, there's a report going around that the O'admin has decided to renege on building a missile defense system in Europe to protect Poland and the Czech Republic. If it's true, Obama has... once more... indicated to our allies that Obama's "remade America" is there not to protect them, but to betray them.
The U.S. has abandoned plans to install a missile defense system in Europe, according to a report. If true, this is a major strategic error that will have serious consequences for our allies in Europe and for us.Quoting a U.S. source, the Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza says the Obama administration has decided against building a missile shield to protect Poland and the Czech Republic. The reason? Russian opposition.
Now, if we want to build a defense system for friends in Europe, we'll have to place it in the Balkans, Israel or somewhere else. That is, if Russia approves.
This is a stark reversal of past policy and reneges on promises made by the current administration. Worse, it shows weakness. We got into a staredown with the Russian bear and we blinked.
Ironically, it was the very same day I did a little noticed post about Obama's growing impotence with our western allies, and the battle against global jihad by citing three incidents:
1: The UK's silence on the Scottish release of Lockerbie al-Megraphi... which now may be a stealth backroom deal with Libya over a BP oil contract. Apparently, no one seemed to consult the US POTUS, who proclaimed on the US stage that the Lockerbie bomber should remain in the Scottish jail to die.
2: Obama's "Gitmo plan" to merely release as many detainees as possible using the US judicials system's higher standards of evidence, and a loose definition of "torture"... sending Mohammed Jawad back to Afghanistan, adding to the total of 26 detainees already released and dispatched to various locations. This indicates to the enemy that the US has little will to prosecute those they capture on battlefields.
3: Obama and AG Eric Holder's acquiescence to the ACLU and their leftist base by releasing, and spinning, the Helgerson 2004 report on the EIT's used, and the results of those interrogations as it relates to our national security and intel gathering. Despite a promise to the CIA not to run an investigative witchhunt and prosecute interrogation operatives, they are doing just the opposite. By reneging on his promise not to "look back", but to "look ahead", Obama has ostracized our intel operatives, and compounded that by seizing authority of interrogations by moving it into the jurisdiction of the FBI and the WH instead.
We can now add one more assault on US allies by Obama's abandonment of Eastern Europe by dropping the missile defense shield. A system that has become more successful than many dreamed possible.

Pretty soon Obama will be selling our carriers for scrap.
Every frigging day it’s something new.
It’s almost like Hussein is looking forward to his 72 virgins.
I’ll ask again on yet another day... when will America realize that Obama is intentionally destroying us. I’ve gone way past ignorance or niavete, this is intentional.
Once a media person (not talk radio) has the balls to say it out loud, maybe others will realize their own fears (and we can’t be the only ones folks) aren’t so ‘crazy’ and speak up and out.
The ONLY thing zero has done that I agree with.
The sole purpose was supposed to be to protect from missiles launched from Iran. We have proven numerous times we can do that from sea based launch platforms. Why feed Russian paranoia and cause problems with them when the exact protection can be handled without doing so??
Agreed. I won’t weep for the loss of an ill-advised, complicated, expensive, non-essential missile shield based on 50 year old Cold War geopolitics.
This is NOT a strategic error. Just like Kennedy the TRAITOR’s letter to the Moscow KGB to help them unseat President Reagan was not “innocent”. It was TREASON... Treason that a willingly complicit media participates in every day. Treason that sets America up for another terrorist attack so they can declare Marshall Law and suspend the Habeas. All the things they accused Bush of is who they are. The fascists who call themselves “democrat” but ignore popular opinion.
The POS destroys relationships that took years to build to promote and protect democracy in eastern europe.
This bastard is not a supporter nor promoter of democracy. He prefers that people live under tyrannical conditions. Someone should ship him home to Kenya, better Zimbabwe instead of allowing him to impose third world , marxist! shit on America!
WHO needs more czars??? .....
Where do his allegiances lie? Who is Obama? There are many vids where he introduces his pastor,Jeremiah Wright, a man who introduced him to “his christian faith 20 years ago”. My guess is that he still retained his muslim beliefs from Indonesia.Thats why he still relates to Islam and secondly, his “ church” gave a muslim, Loius Farrakhan a lifetime achievement award...

Basically, very unamerican. Actually Anti American.....
Who is obama.. I dunno. What is he doing is unconstitutional.
Either way, face it he already has his agenda deep into play
He has already set up his parallel government with what 42 czars who were hand picked and that report directly to him.... totally bypassing the senate. This treasonous conspiracy by the MARXISTS have nothing to do with the constitution which call for the peoples input. Unconstitutional!
And he took oath to uphold the constitution...
Soon you will see him create a crisis and bring out his own militia of Black Panthers with “general” Louis Farrakhan! No seriously though, he will shift power so he is no longer the president of the US but the totalitarian Ruler of the US. He may well retain the title “pres”
Change the government! Impeach the president!
Not only Glenn Beck sees this, but Sonja Schmidt...

or Rev MAnning on Youtube... se his Anti American President,
or look up Larry Sinclair, Press conference part 1
Its either impeach or prepare for his seeded race/ economic war.
“And he took oath to uphold the constitution...”
Yes he did, but he swore on a Bible.
We all knew this was coming.
I absolutely disagree.
Yes, the missiles were designed to knock down primitive Iranian IRBM’s, and would have been no use against the modern Soviet arsenal.
However, Poland, Czecheslovakia, and Hungary will have to serve as replacement states for when NATO falls apart. France, Germany, Italy, and Spain simply can’t be counted on.
This is about acting as a guarantor of Poland’s eastern frontier. Obama is strategically obtuse. What a clown.
Best,
Cjros
Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia will be the last bastions of Judeo-Christian culture in Europe.
