#1 Alexanbdr Vondra, foreign minister of the Czech Republic, boldly stated that European members of NATO would have to build an effective anti-ballistic missile system in cooperation with the United States.

Yeah, right, sure thing you trecherous triangulating European bastards. We've got your missile defense system right here.

#2 LOL, Zenster. I'm so conflicted here...

I thought Poland sorta gave us the finger yesterday...

The Czechs... Hmmm. did I miss all the stories where they've been real cooperative and helpful?

So we're getting there and actually pulling it off and suddenly everybody's our buddy?

NATO or the EU in general? LOLOLOLOLOL...

Yeah, right. Pull my finger... Again.

The usual story; They were going to give us a hand but we got the finger instead.

If I had a nickle for every time ...

Opps, I meant missile only.

#7 Don't lump the eastern Europeans with the westerners. The easterners have been backing the US in a whole bunch of different ways, and taking the heat from Chirac and co. over it.

They also have a long memory of Moslems and their murderousness, and sure as hell don't want that sword over their heads again.

But at the same time, they are still bitter as hell about the Soviet military occupation of their countries, and have a knee-jerk reaction to the thought of another foreign army, even totally friendly, being there. But don't confuse that with anti-Americanism.

In fact, despite the occasional minor spat, if the Americans offered to set up a foreign legion filled with eastern Europeans, we could have a Corps set up overnight, and they would fight to the death for us. Poles, Czechs, Bulgarians, Hungarians, Albanians, the Baltic states and others.

#8 "Missile Defense Success Causes Global Reaction"

I'll just bet it did - and not in the way the article means.

There are a whole lot of dictato-clowns sitting around surprised and thinking they need to re-think their plans to attack us.

Serves 'em right for believing the U.S. Democrats lefties who have been saying since Reagan was President that it's impossible to shoot down a missle....

#9 Zenster - the Eastern Europeans along with the Brits have been strong and loyal friends. It's our Western Europeans 'allies' (especially France) that have been masters of duplicity.

#10 That's why the word "triangulating" is in my post, to distinguish which Europeans I'm talking about. Sheesh.

All of Europe is going to have to get on board in the fight against terrorism before I'll ever approve of us sharing a bazillion dollar project to defend their spineless asses.
