NATO: [Looking eastwards] Um, actually, missile defense sounds like a dandy notion.
Must be a code phrase, or something.

How else to explain this departure from Accepted Reality?
NATO to endorse U.S. missile shield: U.S. official
BUCHAREST (Reuters) - NATO leaders meeting in Bucharest...
I'm sorry, but there are times, even today, where I just have to stop for a second and recognize the implications of phrases like that. The monster of my childhood is dead. We killed it. And we broke it first, before we killed it.
Right. Moving on:
NATO leaders meeting in Bucharest were set to endorse a planned U.S. missile shield for Europe on Thursday, a senior U.S. official told reporters.
The final summit statement would "recognize the substantive contribution to the protection of the allies" from the missile defense system to be deployed in the Czech Republic and Poland, the official told reporters.
Why them, by the way? Because the Czechs and the Poles know that, no matter what happens, we are never, ever, ever going to install a Governor-General in either Prague or Warsaw. This makes us a refreshing change of pace, in their point of view, from mostly every other hegemon in history - not to mention most of their neighbors.
(pause)
Why, of course - like Hot Air - I'm going to remind people of Senator Obama's oopsie along these lines:
After all, it's not my fault that the Democrats are seriously considering nominating a natsec illiterate for the Presidency.

PS: Anyone feel like betting that Obama won't be equally regretting the second half of that video before too much longer, too?

Isn't that the same world that gave us centuries upon centuries of warfare? Because of nuclear weapons, there has been no war between any two great powers in 60+ years...and this guy wants to get rid of them? You have got to be kidding me...is he really that ignorant of history? Nuclear weapons are peacekeepers...not war starters.

Even worse, I know educated people who think he is God's gift to mankind.
Obama's no Messiah. He's the Great Pumpkin. If you believe in him sincerely enogh, he has to win, doesn't he? Doesn't he?

My best comment comes not from me, but from Adam Sandler in his opus, "Billy Madison":
Principal: Mr. [Obama], what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Billy [Obama]: Okay, a simple "wrong" would've done just fine.
It's unbelievable that one's national security policy can be described as a reduction in national security. I mean, does he think we have our nucular (sic in homage) forces on hair-trigger for the Russians? Ever heard of Iranians, Pakistanis, North Koreans, or terrorists? Thought not.
is an articulate idiot, emphasis on idiot. I'm sorry, he's dumber than dirt, and extremely dangerous.
I'll leave it to others to dissect this blather. Only fools can justify it.
You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.
