It appears that SecDef Gates has been managing a more pragmatic approach to the European Missile Shield (designed to intercept phantom Iranian missiles). In as much as he has decided, with Russia's apparent agreement, not to activate the system until definitive proof of Iran's capabilities is established... imagine such a sanguine strategy from this administration!
Who is Tomas Pojar and what is he talking about:
Earlier Tuesday, Tomas Pojar, deputy minister of foreign affairs, told U.S. reporters traveling with Gates that his government's support for the defense plan is based not only on a shared worry about future missile threats but also a ''moral, historical'' sense of appreciation for American support for Czech democracy.
What kind of mumbo jumbo is that? What 'moral and historical' support. Did we declare war on Germany when Hitler's tanks rolled into Prague, no. Did we declare war on Communist Russia as their tanks rolled into Prague a few years later, no. Has George W. Bush or any other member of his cabinet seen a Vaclav Havel play, no. Our historical indifference to former German and Soviet satellites is well documented, I'm sorry Mr. Pojar but you must be reading from the wrong history books.
