Early in his campaign, Barack Obama pledged to end missile defense. He made a video stating the goal quite clearly.

Perhaps the wishful thinkers who have been telling us that Obama would govern as a centrist might want to provide an interpretation of the latest weasel words of the preznit-elect, from the Beeb,

US President-elect Barack Obama has not given a commitment to go ahead with plans to build part of a US missile defence system in Poland, an aide says.

He was speaking after Polish President Lech Kaczynski’s office said a pledge had been made during a phone conversation between the two men.

But Mr Obama’s foreign policy adviser, Denis McDonough, denied this.

Russia opposes the US scheme and has announced plans to deploy missiles on Poland’s border as a counter-measure.

“His position is as it was throughout the campaign, that he supports deploying a missile defence system when the technology is proved to be workable,” said McDonough.

I think it’s important to note that the preznit-elect didn’t sit down with the Polish leader without any preconditions. He did it by telephone. And, he’s not an enemy, he’s an ally, so screwing them over is perfectly acceptable. Plus, this ought to make the Rooskies love us. What could be more important than that.

Besides, the Poles sent troops to Iraq. The bastids deserve to be punished.

Sheesh.

Hello, Republican Party? Sharpen up your rhetoric and get in the game, please.
