Russia: Hey Thanks For Abandoing That Missile Defense Plan But We're Not Too Happy With Your New Idea Either

You know, it's like if you give into thug regimes like Russia they aren't satisfied but actually want more.

But what the hell do I know, it's not like I'm a Nobel Laureate or anything.

The new missile plan from US President Barack Obama's administration raises questions and Moscow is waiting for Washington to explain its intentions, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday.

"The statements that are constantly being voiced raise more questions than answers," Lavrov told reporters during a visit to the Moldovan capital for a summit of ex-Soviet countries.

"We would like to receive full clarification," Lavrov added, referring to the plan presented by the Obama administration last month to replace an older plan backed by George W. Bush that would have placed missile defence facilities in eastern Europe.

Moscow and Washington are now holding talks so Russia can "understand the configuration" of the new missile defence system, Lavrov said, but he added that reports of some US proposals were raising eyebrows in Moscow.

He said a recent US report that the United States might include Ukraine in its missile defence plans was "rather unexpected."

Easy there Boris. I'm sure Mr. Peace Prize will back down again. Just dash off an email and he'll have it taken care of. No need to go harshing the world's mellow.

4 Obama should just fax over the blueprints to the whole plan and save everyone the time.

5 As a concerned disc jockey conservative christian, the President should remix his initial plan to my tune of "Obama flowing on water" acceding to all the Russian demands.

Get in line, Reds. You mean you're not ready to go all-in for promises of unicorns and rainbows like everyone else?

10 This is no different than the bully that comes for your lunch money everyday. You keep giving and he keeps taking until you kick him in the nutsack. I guess a good Russian ball kicking is not becoming of a new minty Nobel Prize winner and all. At least we'll get see ObaPeace get his balls kicked by Dimitri assuming they weren't already transplanted onto Meechelle.

They are already planing the "Comeback Tour"???

12 Well, I hope the Democrats will give credit where it is due...George Bush. If they're blaming the climate that Bush created for us losing the Olympics, then those same people should "blame" Bush for Obama winning the peace prize.  After all, it's not like Obama did anything...except to NOT be George Bush.

The funny thing is...there is no new missile shield. It was nothing more than lip-service from Obama/Clinton/Gates to pacify us while they scrapped the plans for a missile shield in eastern europe.

21 Who ever our next Prez will be. Is going to have one hell of a task in front of him. We can see that by the time Obama leaves.  The US is going to be in one heck of a mess.

Obama had not yet given his infamous Cairo speech when he was nominated, so they can't even point to that as justification for the nomination.

Obama wasn't supposed to win; they didn't expect him to win. They look like fools and they know it. The beauty part: they hurt Obama's cred, especially in the U.S.

Good luck with that, buddy.  Maybe he needs a new interpreter that understands the liberal Leftese dialect.

29 I'm sure it was just an oversight...being so busy accomplishing peaceful accomplishments for peace...around the world...and doing peaceful stuff...and everything. 
Certainly wouldn't want to give Russia the mistaken impression that there are countries that the U.S. recognizes as allies against the wishes of other peaceful would be friends accomplices countries who obviously share the peaceful engagement ideals and other peacey ideas held forth by the president of world peace as recognized by the Nobel committee.

Well.  Would we?

On the up side, it's nice to see that our supposedly "unworkable" missle defense system makes the Ruskies piss their pants.  I remember hearing so very often about how it could never work - how it was a wasteful pipe dream.   Much of that came from the same crowd who moaned about how American's can build anything, we have no education, etc.  Bitch, bitch bitch.  Now, it's the Russians' turn to whine and whinge.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing our foreign enemies worried and our domestic enemies throwing a hissy fit as they are proved wrong yet again.  F*** them all sideways.

35 President O'Dumbo bows and scrapes, aka kisses ass,  to those who will behead his entire family. War will come to this country in less than three years and millons of citizens, including the retarded democrats, will die before they finally bow to Marxism/Islamism. I'm 69 and have been to war but wouldn't fire another shot to protect the America of today. Young people should abandon the military, you are dying for a lost cause led by a Marxist who enjoys seeing you die. Democraps have fed  on the blood of Americans since Vietnam.
