Ok, this is an issue where I strongly disagreed with Bush. As many of you know, I am not a fan of NATO. It is a useless organization that allows the Europeans to leech off of America. I view Latin America and the Caribbean as more vital to our National Security than Europe is. I feel Europeans should defend themselves and if needed, we should help them. With all that being said, when America makes a promise we should keep it. This is why I find the Obama’s decision to scrap missile defense in Poland and Czech Republic as disturbing. Even worse is that it comes on the 70th Anniversary  of Russia’s Invasion of Eastern Poland.

WASHINGTON — The White House will shelve Bush administration plans to build a missile-defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic, a move likely to cheer Moscow and roil the security debate in Europe.

Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell confirmed Thursday that a “major adjustment” is planned and said the decision was made to better protect U.S. forces and allies in Europe from Iranian missile attacks.

The U.S. is basing its move on a determination that Iran’s long-range missile program hasn’t progressed as rapidly as previously estimated, reducing the threat to the continental U.S. and major European capitals, according to current and former U.S. officials.

Read the rest.

Obama has, yet again, thrown 2 more allies under the bus. Ironically, Poland and the Czech Republic were controlled by Totalitarian Progressives for nearly 45 years. First, in the beginning of WW2 by the German Progressives (Nazis) and then during the Cold War by the Russian Progressives (Soviets). The American Progressives look down on the East Europeans because these people know what they are about. It is no coincidence that most recent Eastern European immigrants to America vote against the Democrats.  More than likely, part of the reason Obama has back-stabbed them is because they rejected Progressivism in favor of Liberty.

The latest treachery on the part of our Community Organizer in Chief, President Barack Hussein Obama displays his Transnationalist Ideology. He doesn’t care about American interest. All he cares about is the Global Community and its opinions. He believes by selling out friends to our rivals, that they will be nice and be part of this Global Village. He is mistaken. His actions are viewed as weakness on the part of Russia and others. Obama and the American progressives are very naive about the world. They really believe they know what is best for the world and that everyone will agree with them. They are wrong and in fact our enemies view Progressives as suckers and cowards.

This is a victory for Vladimir Putin and the Neo-Czarists in Russia. Although I am not a fan of Putin, at least he stands up for his nation’s interests and not some Global Community crap. The good news is we have an election in 3 years , so we can vote this traitor Hussein out and elect a President that stands up for America and will keep our word to our Allies.

May the people of Poland and Czech Republic forgive us for this treachery!

UPDATE:David Frum has an excellent piece where he explains how Obama is heading for a foreign policy disaster. It’s good reading and his analysis is spot on.
