US-Poland Missile Defense Pact

Thu, Aug 14, 2008 at 11:28:19 am PDT

The United States and Poland have agreed on a missile defense deal, and according to the Associated Press Russia is “infuriated.”

WARSAW, Poland - Poland and the United States reached an agreement Thursday that will see a battery of American missiles established inside Poland, a plan that has infuriated Russia and raised the specter of an escalation of tension with the region’s communist-era master.

The deal, which was to be signed later Thursday in Warsaw by Poland and the United States, includes what Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called a “mutual commitment” between the two nations — beyond that of NATO — to come to each other’s assistance in case of danger.

Mr Zappa, I am astounded at the courtesy and soft voiced nature of the comments of my friend, the Senator from Tennessee. I can only say that I find your statement to be boorish, incredibly and insensitively insulting to the people who were here previously, that you could manage to give the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States a bad name, if I felt you had the slightest understanding of it, which I do not. -- - Senator Slade Gorton
