You know, I'm all for protecting allies. But what was wrong with the missile defense plan former President Bush came up with? That one had far more capable interceptors placed in Poland that could also defend the United States against long range ballistic missiles.

Seems obama isn't concerned with defending America. Maybe he should read his job description. Ok, maybe he should have someone read it to him, or put it on a tele-prompter.
