On Homeland Security: Canceling Pole/Czech missile defense capitulates to Russia

Obama [told Russia the US] "would back off deploying a new missile defense system in Eastern Europe if Moscow would stop Iran from developing long-range weapons." The Obama administration made the decision to throw our friends Poland & the Czech Republic under the bus and leave them naked to missile attacks "despite having no public guarantees" that Moscow would help crack down on Iran's missile programs

"This is going to be seen as a capitulation to the Russians, who had no real basis to object to what we were doing," warned Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. "And at the end of the day you empowered the Russians, you made Iran happy and you made the people in Eastern Europe wonder who we are as Americans." What was Barack Obama's response? "If the byproduct of it is that Russians feel a little less paranoid and are now willing to work more effectively with us to deal with threats like ballistic missiles from Iran or nuclear development in Iran, you know, then that's a bonus."
