Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed today that he declined last night to take a call from the U.S. informing him of the decision to scrap planned missile-defense bases in his country.
Two U.S.-based sources close to the Polish government said Thursday that Tusk also rejected a call from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — on the grounds that, as the head of the government, he should speak to the president.
Thank goodness we have such a sophisticated foreign policy now.
What's really appalling is that this announcement came on the 60th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland. It is either intentionally insulting, or shocking ineptness on the part of the Obama administration.
ReplyDeleteNeither explanation is comforting. Domestically he can be reigned in, but I really fear the damage this arrogant little nincompoop is doing to our foreign relations.
Smart diplomacy? Where's the reset button for Poland (or was this it)?
ReplyDeleteIt is either intentionally insulting, or shocking ineptness on the part of the Obama administration.
ReplyDeleteIt is both.
From the F-22,
Missle Defense System,
kicking Israel to the curb,
butt kissing to Islam and
bowing to pig king of Saudia
Arabia to the 'new' rules of
engagement our military has to
to operate under in Ragfagastan.
The explanations from Obama and
Gates bring no comfort to me.
They must really be
words of comfort to
Poland and the rest
of Eastern Europe.
The ignorance
and arrogance of Obama
is one thing here at home.
What's next; French
rules of engagement
and warfare?
