WASHINGTON (AFP) — Barack Obama is keeping people guessing about whether he will pursue a Bush administration plan to set up a missile shield in central Europe but analysts say Russia has shot itself in the foot with threats to deploy missiles in retaliation. Analysts see the threats as amounting to loose rhetoric and do not expect a showdown that will test Obama during his first six months in office after his inauguration as president on January 20.
Hey Cartman, Obama's doing that consult advisors and "think" stuff already..I know you're not accustomed to this after th last eight years but get use to it.

Medvedev and other world leaders already know what they think. You cannot count on them to be as wimpy and eager for dialogue as Obama is.
Obama is keeping people guess because he has no clue what to do. He has people guessing on every front.
He got his dream, his job is done. He can sit and do nothing for four years.

The so called "missile shield" is merely an attempt to restart the Cold War, to enrich the defense industry, brought to you by the same people who started the Iraq War and completely botched the other in Afghanistan

The Cold War never ended. Google Anatoliy Golitsyn.
The missile shield is unnecessary poo stirring. No missile shield is going to stop Russian missiles anyways so why engage in needless antagonism and belligerence.

Obama may be painting himself in a corner here:
A statement Saturday from Polish President Lech Kaczynski claims Mr. Obama would go ahead with plans to install the system in eastern Europe.
Mr. Obama's aide Denis McDonough confirms the two men spoke by telephone late Friday night, but says the president-elect only supports a missile defense shield when "the technology is proved to be workable."
