Rice signs missile defense deal with Poland By VANESSA GERA and MONIKA SCISLOWSKA, Associated Press Writers 2 hours, 1 minute ago WARSAW, Poland - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her Polish counterpart signed a deal Wednesday to build a U.S. missile defense base in Poland, an agreement that prompted an infuriated Russia to warn of a possible attack against the former Soviet satellite. ADVERTISEMENT Rice dismissed blustery comments from Russian leaders who say Warsaw's hosting of 10 U.S. interceptor missiles just 115 miles from Russia's westernmost frontier opens the country up to attack. Such comments "border on the bizarre frankly," Rice said, speaking to reporters traveling with her in Warsaw. "When you threaten Poland, you perhaps forget that it is not 1988," Rice said....

Bush: missile defense system not aimed at Russia
Hi, I'm Kristin with today's news update on this Tuesday, the first day of April 2008. President Bush says a planned missile defense system in Eastern Europe is no threat to Russia. His comments come two days before a NATO summit that's expected to take up the issue. Russia and some other countries have expressed concern about the system, saying it could be used for offensive reasons. The president disputed that point and said the system is designed to guard against imminent threats from Iran and North Korea. Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is calling on the President to boycott the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games in Beijing this summer. Pelosi said the boycott would be in protest of China's human rights record. The Bush administration has accused that country of human...

Bush asks for cooperation on missile defense plan
Hello! I'm Kristin Volk with a UPI Headline Update on this Tuesday, June 5, 2007. President Bush is urging Russia to cooperate with his plans to place a missile defense system in Europe. Russia's President Vladimir Putin says the use of such technology threatens his country's territory. Putin has warned that he may aim nuclear weapons at European targets unless Washington abandons its plans. Bush says the missile shield is meant to target rogue nations and not escalate a new Cold War. Meanwhile, President Bush met in the Czech Republic today with that country's president to discuss placing a missile defense base there. The Czech president and prime minister reportedly support Bush's plan. The U.S. president was also scheduled to meet with a former Czech Prime Minister today who wants to...

Iran Missile Test Reactions (Iranvnc.com)
Fallout continues over the missile test conducted by Iran July 9th and 10th. Iran fired nine missiles, at least one capable of reaching Israel. Both US Presidential candidates called the action a dangerous threat.The test "demonstrates the need for effective missile defense now and in the future, [and this includes missile defense in Europe as is planned with the Czech Republic and Poland."] "Iran is a great threat. We have to make sure we are working with our allies to apply tightened pressure on Iran." Although some military analysts downplayed the threat and some experts question whether Iran even fired its new Shahab-3 missile as reported. Secretary of State Condileezza Rice asserts the tests show Iran is a clear and present danger. "I see it as evidence that the missile threat...

Russia threatened by US Missile Shield in Europe
US signed missile defense shield in former CCCP satellite province. Our Russian General Yuri Baluyevsky said, "We have no plans to attack anyone, but we consider it necessary for all our partners in the world community to clearly understand ... that to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Russia and its allies, military forces will be used, including preventively, including with the use of nuclear weapons." Our Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin says Russia's launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile was direct response to the planned U.S. missile defense shield and this will change the strategic balance in Europe.

US Star shield in Europe: a new Cold War
Information: http://www.nenasili.cz/en/ Sign the petition:: http://www.nonviolence.cz Dear friend, The Czech Parliament will have to take a stand about the construction of a U.S. military base and probably it will vote in favour of its installation, even though 70% of the population opposes this plan.Given the urgency of the situation, we have launched an on-line petition to exert pressure on the Parliament and ask that the matter be resolved with a referendum. The NMD project of the United States -- their national missile defense system, is a very complex project which involves the production of new weapons, and the installation of American military bases in different parts of the planet. In particular, in Europe, the first step is the installation of a radar system in the Czech...
