Missile Defense: Good For . . . Most Countries

The President is talking about a new missile defense shield in Europe. I have mixed feelings about it being owned by Europeans (who are infamous for having the odd rebellion every once in a while) but that's not the point of this post. I am suspicious about the timing of this subject, coinciding as it does with talks about New Start, and I have the creepy feeling he'll try to bundle the new missiles in with the new treaty should he (God forbid!) ever get it through the Senate; but that's not the subject of this post.

No, my point today is to remember what President Obama is NOT doing. He is not going to try to put missiles in Poland. This is yet another jab in the eye of the Polish people, but at least it didn't come on September 17 (this year).
