Rice Slams Russian General Over Warning

General Says Czech Republic And Poland Could Be Targeted If They Allow U.S. Missile Defenses

(AP)  Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Wednesday called a Russian general's warning that Poland and the Czech Republic risk being targeted if they host U.S. missile defense bases "extremely unfortunate." Rice also repeated assurances the system does not threaten Russia.

Gen. Nikolai Solovtsov, head of Russia's strategic missile forces, said Monday that Russia might train its missiles on the two countries if they accept a U.S. proposal to base 10 interceptor missiles in Poland and a radar in the Czech Republic.

"I think that was an extremely unfortunate comment," Rice said at a news conference in Berlin, adding that the system did not threaten Moscow's forces "and we have had the opportunity to explain that to Russia."

She said the United States has made clear to Russia that the system would be to counter any missile threat from Iran. The system is too small to stop Russia's large nuclear arsenal, she said.

"Anyone who knows anything about this knows that there is no way that 10 interceptors ... are a threat to Russia or that they are somehow going to diminish Russia's deterrent of thousands of warheads," Rice said.

"I think everyone understands that with a growing Iranian missile threat, which is quite pronounced, that there need to be ways to deal with that problem," she added.

The missile dispute is chilling relations between Moscow and Washington, which have already been damaged by differences over NATO's eastward expansion and U.S. concerns over human rights in Russia.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow sees the establishment of the missile defense sites as a signal that the United States wants to gain nuclear superiority over Russia. He dismissed U.S. claims that it was to counter Iranian threats.

"If they talk about potential threats coming from Iran or North Korea, missile defense elements should be located in a different place," Lavrov said in an interview published Wednesday in the daily Rossiyskaya Gazeta. "We can't help noting that these facilities would be capable of intercepting missiles launched from Russia."

The thing I like about Secty. Rice is that you just know she can play hard ball. She doesn't have to posture or pose she's the real deal.

I'm sure Russia is really concerned about her comments.

She is as useless as everyone else in the Bush administration.

[lars008-2009]

I was talking today to a woman from Bosnia, she so many horrific inhuman things were dont by the Muslims to her people. She would only tell me a couple of what she thought was the least of the horrific things that were done... she said that the Muslims would take the pregnant women and asked them if they wanted to know what the *** of their baby is and even if the woman said NO, they would then proceed to cut the baby out of the womb then hold the baby up and tell the dying woman the *** of her baby... and to the men they would put him over a very sharp pointed stake, and eventually he wouldn't be able to hold his weight up and he would fall and impale himself through the bowels and die a horrific death...
These people say that Allah is all merciful, Allah will let people submit and live, but if they dont submit they die, simple...so we either submit or we die,, just as the quran says, and our leaders seem hell bent in putting us in more and more danger, they have allowed the enemy to not only get behind enemy lines but to multiply like flies... They have to deal with the fast growing ever increasing Muslim problem at home and in every country that they have adopted...all other religions come and live happily all except Islam,,

let the riots start........lol

The float carried two identical cartoon-style papier-mache figures, each wearing a suicide-bomber's belt and carrying a dagger and a pistol. The first was labelled 'the cliche,' the second was labelled 'the reality.'

Both scowling figures were labelled 'mullahs,' a term used to describe both Shiite and Sunni clergy. The float was part of a carnival parade watched by more than half a million people in the western city of Dusseldorf.

Talk about looking like a gorilla, oh well we all came from some sort of cave dweller.

Enough about how she looks; now we need to think real hard about getting our soldiers back from Iran, this woman is going to start a war with Russia. It is high time we as Americans start thinking of America. Lock the borders, defend our land and let the rest of the world just have at it all they want, without our intervening.

Thought this was a done deal in the 1991 timeframe, So how is it Russia be allowed to have thousands of warheads or is she speaking of the 1600? (see last paragraph)

"Anyone who knows anything about this knows that there is no way that 10 interceptors ... are a threat to Russia or that they are somehow going to diminish Russia's deterrent of thousands of warheads," Rice said.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
START, officially the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, is a treaty, originally signed by the United States and the Soviet Union, that barred its signatories from deploying more than 6,000 warheads atop a total of 1,600 ICBMs, submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and bombers. Proposed by United States President Ronald Reagan, it was renamed START I after negotiations began on the second START treaty, which became START II. It was signed on July 31, 1991, five months before the collapse of the Soviet Union.


End of story, or just the beginning?

[bildooreilly]

A million americans are homeless and these turds are going to spend billions of our tax dollars to protect EUROPE from Iran.

[zwaggsy]

Didn't it occur to anybody that with several NATO states engaged in a irrelevant war that several old enemy's would take advantage off this? Some people say that Bush & Blair are the people for the 21st century, personaly I think that their foresight & intuition suck!

[firststate]

The consummate diplomat, (neo)Con-de-Liar Rice has managed to impress or influence absolutely nobody on her whirl-wind tour of distraction. Could it be that, like the administration's her personal credibility is worth even less than old Enron stock certificates?

[fizzal-2009]

does gen. Nikolai Solovtsov know he gets his bread butterd with sale of oil and gas and trade goods through those countries?

[fascistusa]

We need to hook Rice up with Warf from Star Treck : The Next Generation.

Take one for the team!!!

[fascistusa]

Sure. You can TRUST Fascists like Rice, Bush , and Cheney.

Those missles are just for "looks". Wink Wink.

Even Americans don't believe the Neo-Cons.

I wonder if their goal is WW3.

[toolmangler-2009]

zootallures2. Please be quiet until you know what you are talking about. You are just looking like a fool right now. I am hoping that you are not but I have to go with the evidence and right now it is not good.

[toolmangler-2009]

I agree with the snoozer. Should have seen that one coming. If you are working together then the trust factor kicks in and things start to get done.

[zootallures2]

Putin and Bush need serious psychiatric help along with the crack pots who follow these immature nit-wits. Sick people addicted to war and killing.

[ndjam]

There is something amusing about criticism of the use of force by the man who turned Chechnya into a smoldering ruin. Putin and his Russian stooges love to intimidate countries with useless threats and fear mongering talk of a nuclear attack. Everyone on here should go read about how this thug has oppressed and slaughtered millions of people in Chechnya and in Daghestan. This fear mongering rot(Putin) is no friend of the U.S. believe me. He would love nothing more than to destroy us and own this world. FREE CHECHNYA AND FREE DAGHESTAN from this murderous regime.

[zootallures2]

Oh, I believe..lol. Putin and the rest of the crazy world leaders are just as looney as Condoleeza and Bush. You are all in on this crazy war and killing stuff. There are no good guys and the world citizens aren't much better. Nothing but arrogant, unappreciative, hateful nuts not worth the life God gave them.

[dallison7]

On a serious note. Take a look at her picture. If that's not a Klingon I'll eat your grandma.

1915... almost one hundred years ago. Lars, circunstances were different then, we live in a different world. Just as we hear the religious zealots condeming things like abortion and stem cell research, telling us that the God of the Bible would not condone such things. Folks, I'm sorry you haven't noticed, this is the 21st century. The Bible is ancient text. If you intend to apply it to today's problems you will need an updated version.
