MISSILES NO MORE – The Obama administration announced today that it would scrap the missile defense sytem and informed both Poland and the Czech Republic of the pullout.

Under the Bush administration, plans were made to protect Eastern Europe from Russian and Iranian missile attacks. After the Russians made clear their opposition, the Obama administration pulled out, leading critics to claim that Obama “caved” to the Russians.

Others contend it was the price to pay for Russian support to stop Iran from building a nuclear bomb. Obama officials relayed the word to disappointed Eastern European officials, whose countries have been invaded by Russians and wanted additional protections.
