Ooopps...

" Russia's top general said on Monday that plans to deploy missiles in an enclave next to Poland have not been shelved, despite a decision by the United States to rethink plans for missile defense in Europe."

Also in the article:

It is highly unusual in Russia for two senior officials to contradict each other publicly on a sensitive matter of national and international importance.

I wonder what kind of political infighting is going on inside the Russian military hierarchy and what Putin is thinking. This is an interesting bit of news coming out of Russia.

Yes, it is interesting.

I wonder what level of assurances Obama received from the Russians before turning on two countries that are friendly with us and rely upon us for defense purposes.

This looks like naivete on Obama's part.
