Bush clueless about Poland’s history on missile defense

It’s no surprise Poland has rejected Bush’s defense package offer, in exchange for siting elements of an antimissile shield there, as inadequate. Once Putin said Poland would become a target of Russian missiles, it became clear that Bush needed to take into account centuries of Polish fears of Russia. (Of course, those fears cut both ways, and with reason. Four hundred years ago, Poland tried to install a puppet tsar in Moscow.)

Anyway, putting Patriot missiles on Polish soil for one year was so inadequate it’s laughable.

And, Bush will continue to be clueless elsewhere.

Lithuania as a site? It’s obvious Moscow was behind last week’s cyberattacks on Lithuanian computers, as a shot across the bow to Washington.
