Obama bails on Bush missile bullshit
Thursday, September 17th, 2009 byShrubya antagonized Russia and bilked US taxpayers with his expensive plan to build a cordon of missiles around Western Russia under the guise of defending Western Europe from Iranian nuclear missiles – a cordon that would be ineffective at shooting anything out of the sky but extremely effective at putting our money in the hands of his defense contractor buddies.
Obama has sensibly shelved this bogus European missile defense plan. Wrong-wingers are already screaming that we’ve given Russia something for nothing, but the real winner of this decision is the US taxpayer – who will no longer be paying something for nothing.
