"Russia warns Poland on US missile base; Language is strongest yet against plan" by Jim Heintz, Associated Press | August 16, 2008
MOSCOW - Russia warned Poland yesterday that it is exposing itself to attack - even a nuclear one - by accepting a US missile interceptor base on its soil, delivering Moscow's strongest language yet against the plan.
US officials defended the missile defense deal and said the timing was not meant to antagonize Russian leaders amid the conflict in Georgia.
O.K.!!!
Then EXPLAIN THIS:
"Farther west in Poland, American negotiators Thursday dropped resistance to giving the Poles advanced Patriot missiles in exchange for stationing parts of a missile defense system there."
Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman suggested that earlier US offers for broad cooperation with Moscow on the missile defense program might be reevaluated considering the latest developments.
I think they already have been, don't you?
Washington has tried to reassure Moscow that the $3.5 billion missile shield system planned in the European countries would pose no threat to Russia, stating that missiles carry no warheads and would be no match for Russia's nuclear arsenal.
Yup, more money down the drain and into the war profiteers pockets!
The system would use hit-to-kill technology in which an array of sensors and radar would detect an enemy missile in flight and a ground-based interceptor would destroy it. The interceptors would ram incoming warheads at a closing speed of 15,000 miles per hour.
WTF? AP a business agent for the war profiteers now?
Nothing about all the rigged tests failing, huh?
The article makes it sounds like as soon as it is up-and-running, it'll work!!!
