I should update my comments re: our missile interceptors scheduled to be in Poland. Listening to a CNN piece yesterday, it appears that we would only be deploying ten systems in Poland with the idea that they would intercept missiles launched from Iran which would have to send them up through that area and over the North Pole to reach us.
While the Russians have expressed their skepticism about this being the real purpose, the State Department has countered that it is no secret that most of the missiles pointed at us would be launched from Siberia, submarines and other parts of Russia and few if any would be launched over Poland. More over, ten systems could scarcely put a dent in the hundreds of MIRVs that Russia has it its disposal. So when we take the position that this system really is intended for Iran and is not a strategic threat to Russia, I am now persuaded that the facts are on our side on this.
