AFP: US moves to establish anti-missile site in Europe

The United States is moving to establish a new anti-missile site in Europe designed to stop attacks by Iran against the US and its European allies.

The New York Times reported the administration’s proposal calls for installing 10 missile interceptors at a European site by 2011.

Poland and the Czech Republic are among the nations under consideration as possible sites, the report said.

The Czech Republic has received “no concrete proposal” from the US for locating an antimissile defence base on Czech soil, Ministry of Defence spokesman Andrej Cirtek told AFP.

“The location of this US anti-rocket base on the territory of some European state is just an idea, there is no concrete proposal,” he added.

A recommendation on a European site is expected to be made this summer to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, said the paper citing unnamed Pentagon officials.

Of course.

Did Ahmadinejad and the Iranian Mullahs REALLY think that the United States is negotiating from weakness?

Remember what President Reagan said in is farewell address: “It’s still trust but verify. It’s still play, but cut the cards. It’s still watch closely. And don’t be afraid to see what you see.”
