Eastern Promises: Obama Set to Betray Allies

Just an absolute disaster, these fledgling democracies which were courted and protected in the face of the rising dictatorship of Russia are now going to be abandoned as a means to curry favor with the tyrants of the world. These countries sent troops tp Iraq and and have constantley backed us up, in reward for their support Obama appears ready to spit in their faces.

BERLIN — The Obama administration is expected to announce Thursday that it will shelve plans to deploy its controversial anti-ballistic missile shield in Eastern Europe, a Polish official said, a move that will be welcomed by Russia but deeply regretted by Poland and the Czech Republic, two key American allies.

Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the administration was “very close” to the end of a seven-month review of a missile defense shield proposal but he would not give any more details.

Polish and Czech officials said they expected to be briefed by American officials about Mr. Obama’s decision which almost certainly will led to the scrapping of plans to deploy 10 inceptors in Poland and a radar system in the Czech Republic.
