If the Pole's and the Czechs allow Babybush to put that hardware in their back yard, the Rusky;s will finish the Baltic pipeline to Germany and then turn of the oil and gas tap to Poland and Czechoslovakia they better hope Bush has got lots of spare oil and gas he can give them.
The bush gang should realize that their the project for The New American Century ,has fallen in the dust of Iraq.
