"Czechs, NATO back new US missile defense plan" by Karel Janicek, Associated Press | October 24, 2009
PRAGUE - The Czech Republic and NATO said yesterday that they backed a reworked US missile defense plan....
Yeah, WHO CARES what the Czech PEOPLE WANT (keep reading, see below)!
The endorsements came as Vice President Joe Biden wrapped up a tour of Central Europe aimed at shoring up support for the new system, which is focused on short- and medium-range interceptors....
Wow, the Glob SURE KEPT THAT TRIP under wraps, huh?
Biden [said].... Washington would send a high-level defense team to Prague next month to “discuss the terms this participation will take.’’ In neighboring Slovakia, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said the system envisioned by the Obama administration would provide Europeans and Americans with protection against a “real threat.’’
ISRAEL, right?
Speaking to reporters in Bratislava after Secretary Robert Gates briefed NATO defense ministers there, Fogh Rasmussen added that NATO will work with the United States to incorporate the system fully into the alliance. “Ministers welcomed the fact the new approach puts European missile defense more into a NATO context,’’ he said, adding: “It is good for solidarity.’’
Yeah, I'm SURE the RUSSIANS are going to LOVE THAT?
See: Obama Offs to Moscow With Love
Where ARE the RUSSIANS in THIS ARTICLE, MSM?
Biden’s visit to Central Europe - he was in Poland and Romania earlier this week - comes a month after the Obama administration scrapped George W. Bush-era blueprints to base a missile defense shield in Eastern Europe designed to shoot down long-range missiles.
Well, NOT REALLY! STILL BUILDING IT, dipshit MSM!!
Russia had strongly objected that the system jeopardized its own security.
And THAT'S ALL THEY GET, huh? Yeah, DON'T WORRY about a WWIII, Amurkn shit-suckers (otherwise known as newspaper readers)!
The decision sparked fears in formerly communist Eastern Europe that Washington was sacrificing its interests in order to improve ties with Russia.
Hey, what is ONE MORE LIE, huh, because the PEOPLE of ALL THOSE COUNTRIES do NOT WANT IT!
On Wednesday, Poland eagerly signed on to the revamped US missile shield. But in the Czech Republic not everyone was pleased by yesterday’s developments. “We are outraged,’’ said Jan Tamas, spokesman for the Nonviolence Movement and organizer of past anti-missile defense protests in the country. “It’s alarming that a government without a proper mandate is negotiating about it and claims it wants to participate,’’ Tamas said.

Oh, so THEY HAVE NO AUTHORITY to sign off on this, but I GET A HUGE HEADLINE of DECEPTION! That's just great, Globe!
Analysts had predicted it was unlikely Biden would leave with a clear commitment from Prague, since the country’s weak caretaker government lacks a mandate to move forward on any strategic defense issues, including missile defense deals.
Compare that to the CRAP HEADLINE above!
A new government will be formed only after general elections in May....
And I will bet they are a no unless some funny business occurs!
