And prove, once and for all, that the United States is an unreliable and treacherous friend. We asked the Czechs and the Poles to be our friends, and pledged our support to them, and then we reneged and threw them under the bus.

BO and his fellow socialists don’t see a world consisting of nations with their own sovereignty. They see a one world order with no boundaries. Consequently he doesn’t see this latest socialist maneuver as capitulating.

The question is: Did Obama surrender on the missile shield that protects our allies in order to gain the (very) minor concession by Russia to agree to sanctions against Iran?
If this is the case, and I believe it to be so, then Obama again proves he is an complete amateur and likely a Marxist himself.

Here is a video from April this year - Obama Pledge to Missile defense, from a speech in Prague.
link It is from RCP.
"So let me be clear: Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile activity poses a real threat, not just to the United States, but to Iran's neighbors and our allies. The Czech Republic and Poland have been courageous in agreeing to host a defense against these missiles. As long as the threat from Iran persists, we will go forward with a missile defense system that is cost-effective and proven.

WE didn't. The clueless morons looking for a savior that voted for this commie (even after they were warned about this guy). The ones that voted for a rock star with more melanin than the other guy are the ones that threw our allies under the bus (Europe and Israel).
