Obama to Scrap Missile Shield If Russia Cooperates on Iran

President Obama offered to consider scrapping plans for a missile defense shield in Europe if Russia helps rein in Iran's nuclear program, the Russian newspaper Kommersant reported.

The article said Obama wrote to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to tell him Russia's aid in resolving the threat from Iran would make the missile shield plans unnecessary, according to an account from Russian news agency RIA Novosti.

A senior administration official told FOX News that Obama sent a letter to Medvedev but "we won't comment on the specifics."

Obama inherited plans to build the system in Poland and the Czech Republic from the Bush administration, but the new administration has equivocated over the project. Though the plans were put in place to deter nations like Iran and North Korea from launching attacks and developing nuclear weapons, Russia has interpreted the planned installation as a threat.

Let me see.

Pakistan - nuclear power / India - nuclear power / Iran soon to be nuke power / Korea - nuke power.

Iran recently put a satellite into orbit.

Major nuke powers perhaps falling completely into the hands of religious fanatics.

There are some whack job countries out there that not only have the ability to hurt - they either do - or will soon have the ability to SEND that hurt.

Cops wear body armour. I wear body armour. Not because we figure we will need it every day, but because we believe we MIGHT need it some day.

You guys are going up against a very large part of the world that hates not only you folks, but all us people with a western and Christian life style.

And you are considering cancelling something that you might need?

Are you guys idiots???????

Sheesh .....

And you think you can trust any of these nations to leep their negotiated promises?

Nations that figure women are second class citizens to be bought and sold at will - and the only education the masses need is to memorize the koran?

You need to ask the people in the Scandanavian countries if they trust Russia.

You folks need to have a serious second thought about this.
