"US, Czech Republic sign agreement on missile shield" by Judy Dempsey and Dan Bilefsky, International Herald Tribune | July 9, 2008
BERLIN - The United States and the Czech Republic signed a landmark accord yesterday that could allow the Pentagon to deploy part of its controversial antiballistic missile shield on territory once occupied by Soviet troops.
The accord, the first of its kind to be reached with an East European country, was signed in Prague by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her Czech counterpart, Karel Schwarzenberg, despite strong opposition from Russia.
Russia warned yesterday that the accord could lead to a military response.
Rice said Iran continued to work on tools to build a nuclear bomb, along with long-range missiles that could carry a warhead.
I am tired of the lying, readers, I really am.
WHEN is someone (other than us bloggers) going to CALL THEM ON IT?!
Rice is on a European tour that includes Bulgaria and Georgia, but not Poland.
Why not Poland?
The Polish center-right government led by Donald Tusk has taken a tough negotiating stance. In return for hosting the interceptors, Poland has asked the United States to modernize Polish air defenses so that the country could defend itself against any incoming short- and medium-range missiles.
"All the Tusk government is asking is that the United States takes the Polish requests seriously instead of simply expecting the Poles to gratefully bow to Washington and accept the US plans without questions," said Rafal Trzaskowski, a European security expert at the Natolin campus of the College of Europe in Warsaw.
Translation: The Poles are EXTORTING US!
The accord with Prague, however, is not without its problems. The deal signed yesterday does not mean that the radar system will be built immediately or that the next US administration will stick to a project that is so far untested."
Then WHY is this "NEWS?"
See what I mean, readers?
And why does the AmeriKan MSM NEVER MENTION how UNPOPULAR the "missile shield" idea is in Europe?
Just another thing they aren't telling you, right (while lying about what they do tell you)?
