Russia Warns of Missile Deployment in Response to Bush Admin Weapons Program
----------------------------------------------------------------------------



And Russia has issued a new warning apparently aimed at the incoming
Obama administration. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev says Russia will
deploy short-range missiles near Poland if the US proceeds with its
controversial missile defense program in eastern Europe. Poland would
host ten ballistic missiles along with a radar site in the Czech
Republic. The Bush administration says the missile system would protect
Europe from Iranian missiles, but it’s widely seen as a first-strike
weapon.
