Abject Surrender In Dead Of Night
IBD Editorials ^ | September 17, 2009 | INVESTORS BUSINESS DAILY Staff

Strategic Defense: With Iran on the verge of a deliverable nuke, the administration tells our allies in the dead of night that we will scuttle missile defense plans in Eastern Europe to please the Russians.


Czechs are used to betrayal by their Western allies. It was at Munich in 1938 that British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain sealed their doom in exchange for a piece of paper promising "peace in our time."

The fact that this further gutting of missile defense came on the 70th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland on Sept. 17, 1939, is an eerie coincidence.

"Just after midnight I was informed in a telephone call by President Barack Obama that (his) administration had decided to pull out from the planned missile defense shield installations" in the Czech Republic and Poland, the Czech Republic's interim prime minister, Jan Fischer, said at a Thursday news conference.

Coming after the Russian invasion of Georgia and Moscow's efforts to destabilize that prospective NATO member as well as Ukraine, it bolsters Russia's efforts to rebuild the old Soviet Union's sphere of influence and sends the message that the U.S. can't be trusted as an ally that can keep its promises.

In March, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski noted that Poland had taken "something of a political risk" in agreeing to the deployment of 10 ground-based interceptors on its territory.

“The fact that this further gutting of missile defense came on the 70th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland on Sept. 17, 1939, is an eerie coincidence.”

Hard to accept this timing as a coincidence, along with the contemptuous ‘midnight’ call. It does, however, have an eerie symbolism about it that was associated with WWII initiatives of the Third Reich. Very disconcerting.

“Childish beliefs he didn’t fit in” — in the most racially mixed region of the land. He was getting force fed with this nonsense by his commie grandparents.

He's a Puppet.

And puppets don't give up their Blackberries.

And puppets are heavily dependent on teleprompters.
