Poland's Defense, Missile Offense

The Kremlin has been dusting off old Bolshevik intimidation techniques since the U.S. signed a missile defense partnership with Poland last month. The Russian foreign ministry promised that its response "would go beyond diplomacy," and a Russian general mused that this meant its nuclear missiles would have to target Poland. Who would have thought such talk would find an accommodating ear in the U.S. Congress?

Who would have thought such talk would find an accommodating ear in the U.S. Congress? See article in Wall Street Journal, Wednesday September 10th page A14 titled "Missile Offense". Looks like the Democrats (Obama, Representative Ellen Tausher, CA) want to stop the agreement fot U.S. defense support for Poland including building missile defense bases. Shades of Roosevelt and Yalta

agsadowski: See article in Wall Street Journal, Thanks it is very interesting and I added the link. Missile Offense September 10, 2008; Page A14 The Kremlin has been dusting off old Bolshevik intimidation techniques since the U.S. signed a missile defense partnership with Poland last month. The Russian foreign ministry promised that its response "would go beyond diplomacy," and a Russian general mused that this meant its nuclear missiles would have to target Poland. Who would have thought such talk would find an accommodating ear in the U.S. Congress? The Tauscher-Obama "ideologically-based" hostility to the Polish agreement helps to explain why a majority of Americans aren't sure they trust Democrats on matters of national security. http://www.wsj.com/article/SB122100822784017613.html?mod=opinion_main_ review_and_outlooks

dcchris: of course you might want to keep in mind that the wsj is owned by rupert murdock nowadays That in mind, do you know the story to be false? If so: ------ Is there a rebuttal to the story? Which publication printed the rebuttal and when was it printed? Who owns the publication that the rebuttal was published in?
