Let's graduate from strategic children

ARTICLE: Russian navy: sub accident kills more than 20, By STEVE GUTTERMAN, AP, November 8, 2008

Reminds us of how far the old Soviet military continues to fall.

This is why this idiotic conundrum we've achieved in Eastern Europe is a complete waste of Obama's time.

Now we're told that we can't give in to Russian pressure over Bush's stupidity in sticking missile defense in Poland to protect it from Iran.

Isn't is wonderful to have your military-industrial-complex's greed sanctified by Russia's stupid leaders? Talk about the tail wagging the dog.

Such is the state of America's strategy. Osama tells us where "central fronts" are. Ahmadinejad jerks our chain regularly. And now the puppet Medvedev gets to declare our strategic interests for us.

Wouldn't it be nice to actually think for ourselves for once instead of being told by our enemies and general fools what matters to us?

Enough of the neocon childishness. Bring on the adults.

The puppet. Exactly. Putin and that little fellow are like characters from, what was it, Smersh? But really, you can't blame the Military Industrial Complex, they must have Bogey men in order to scare us. With the Chinese driving their Buicks to Walmart stores and out doing Hollywood with the Olympics it was too hard to sell them as another Evil Empire. Hence the ridiculous scenario of Iran attacking Poland.

Missile defense: because Poland is the Little Satan.
