OBAMA SET TO APPEASE RUSSIA AND DUMP EASTERN EUROPE: PROBABLY WILL NOT DEPLOY MISSILE SHIELD, PROBABLY WILL ANNOUNCE AT UNGA

NYTIMES:

The Obama administration has developed possible alternative plans for a missile defense shield that could drop hotly disputed sites in Poland and the Czech Republic, a move that would please Russia and Germany but sour relations with American allies in Eastern Europe.

Administration officials said they hoped to complete their months-long review of the planned antimissile system as early as next month, possibly in time for President Obama to present ideas to President Dmitri A. Medvedev of Russia at a meeting in New York during the annual opening at the General Assembly of the United Nations.

People following the review, including anxious officials in Eastern Europe, said they thought that the administration was preparing to abandon the Polish and Czech sites.

The Bush administration strongly advocated a missile shield. Mr. Obama has been more skeptical, saying he will proceed only if it is financially and technically feasible. He has also told the Russians that the system would not be needed if they used their leverage to persuade Iran to drop its suspected nuclear weapons programs.

OBAMA WANTS TO APPEASE RUSSIA AT THE UNGA: HOW FITTING.

THIS EVEN AS RUSSIA DEPLOYS ITS OWN MISSILE SHIELD ALONG ITS BORDER WITH NORTH KOREA.

OBAMA ISN'T FOR PEACE; HE'S ON THE OTHER SIDE.


IF OBAMA REALLY WAS AN AMERICA-HATING, SOCIALISTIC CRYPTO-MUSLIM, THEN WHAT WOULD HE BE DOING DIFFERENTLY?


NOTHING.
