re: #555 Desert Dog

Talking points? Wow, I expected better. The military aspects are correct. The military told Bush this when he initially set this up. But, You are not seeing the forest through all those trees. If this is no big deal to our allies in Eastern Europe, why are they up in arms so much about this? Why are they running front page stories about being sold out to the Russians?

This decision by President Obama has destroyed our credibility in Eastern Europe. That is the problem. Or, do you think they are cool with it?

You know what this gave the Poles and the Czech in all seriousness? American lives. Those service men and women would have essentially been human shields. They wanted to get drawn into American-Russian M.A.D by putting American lives on the line.
