... so goes history.
Well, Obama dumped the Poland/Czech Republic land based missile defense shield. Of course this was proposed as a deterrent to Iran by Bush, but with a wink and an elbow everybody KNEW this was to lay down a marker for an ever aggressive Russian Federation. And as a testament to that reality the top of the hour news updates described Moscow as "jubilant at the news." One thing is for certain - with few notable exceptions rarely has a move that made Moscow "jubilant" enhanced the security of the US & her allies. Oh ya, and we got NOTHING from Putin out of the deal (I don't mention Medvedev, because what would be the point? He's not running the show).
It occurs to me that the president routinely "redefines" our Bill of Rights, the 2nd Amendment and so on, so why not Article 5 of the Nato Accord (an attack on one is an attack on all)?
And to add insult to injury President Obama announced the abandonment of this program (and the Poles) on the 70th anniversary to-the-day of the Soviet invasion of Poland (Germans went in on the 1st, thus providing the Reds a fasle pretext of "defending" Eastern Poland when they went in ... of course everybody here understands that, I only wish our President did).

What more could we expect from "Carter's Second Term"? Next will come a series of new SALT agreements that sell our remaining advantages for smiles and handshakes.
Ha. Yes, I know. I heard it said during the campaign that voters had a choice between Bush's 3rd term or Carter's second. We clearly have the latter.
