		<description>&lt;p&gt;The threat assesment has changed, so the missle defense plan has to change too.  Czech Prime Minister Jan Fischer &lt;a href=&quot;http://rawstory.com/news/afp/US_to_scrap_plans_for_missile_shiel_09172009.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;said&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“The threats now rest in short- and medium-range missiles, not long-range ones. The American side decided this was the most serious threat and this is their reaction.”
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That Willard failed to mention that the missle defense system is for ICBMs means it’s all just Republic campaign rhetoric.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Halfway around the world tonight&lt;br /&gt;
In a strange and foreign land&lt;br /&gt;
A soldier packs his memories&lt;br /&gt;
As he leaves Afghanistan&lt;br /&gt;
And back home they don’t know too much&lt;br /&gt;
There’s just no way to tell&lt;br /&gt;
I guess you had to be there&lt;br /&gt;
For to know that war was hell&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And there won’t be any victory parades&lt;br /&gt;
For those that’s coming back&lt;br /&gt;
They’ll fly them in at midnight&lt;br /&gt;
And unload the body sacks&lt;br /&gt;
And the living will be walking down&lt;br /&gt;
A long and lonely road&lt;br /&gt;
Because nobody seems to care these days&lt;br /&gt;
When a soldier makes it home&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;  Funny, this verse was about the Russians!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Neither the Obama Administration nor the Russians are eager to experience the fall-out of an Israeli attack on the Iranian nuclear facilities, so this move provides some additional assurances to the Israelis (the anti-missile system placed in Israel actually works just fine, and can detect objects launched that are no bigger than a baseball, and coordinate anti-missile defenses at a range of about 4,700 miles - pretty neat stuff!)The Russians want to continue doing business with Iran, but they aren’t anxious to see them with a nuclear weapons capability either.  This diplomacy furthers the interests of just about everyone other than the Iranian regime and the corporate manufacturers of the canceled Eastern European anti-missile shield.  I just hope that all the rest of the pieces of this strategic diplomacy plan come together.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
