Hey bfaul -- A very good piece you wrote here.  Very concise and to the point.  There is absolutely no pragmatic, or tactical reason for there to be a "missle defense shield" in eastern Europe; I doubt they want such a thing.  They have their own very good technology in defense missle systems and the knowledge to advise on their own needs.  So, if the mentioning of missles is not for provocation alone, then we deserve clear answers other than, "...to protect Europe."  Then, like you said, any other reason has to be money, nothing else.

I wish some reporter would dig up to the elbows in Bush family finances.  I think the clues would be there.  I would put nothing past this man.  He's the type who would tell himself that it's okay if he's making a buck because he's "keeping Amurica safe from nucular rogue evil-doers" even as he sinks us deep into the quicksand of another cold war.

you could probably find it on Daily Kos (none / 0)

Seems like a lot of volunteer researchers over there.  The large corporate media folks don't encourage investigative reporting any more.
