I have to admit, that (please don't tell anyone) I agree with Obama on this one. A few interceptors at the border would do absolutely nothing to protect those countries if Russia decided to attack them. Gaining cooperation from Russia on the Iran problem is a much bigger priority. Someone gave O some good advice, and he took it for once.
Russia is openly giving nuclear technology to some pretty interesting countries. The latest I read about the other day is they are helping our buddy in Venezuela build a "NUCLURE" power plant. Of course it is for "peaceful" use only.
Russia will not do anything about Iran, they have been and still are helping them. On the good advice ... If he was going to can it anyway, why the hell did he not use it as a bargaining chip?

I guess those people under the missile aren't worth anything. Whoever put that message out should be fired, quickly.
"A ground-based interceptor is generally about a $70 million-per-missile asset going after a $10-$15 million [Iranian] missile," a senior administration official told arms-control analysts Thursday at a briefing explaining the rationale, according to a recording heard by The Wall Street Journal. "The trade is not a good one economically. It's not a good one from a military strategy position."
