Condi Rice Lies About Purpose of US Missile Defense Grid

After the U.S. and the Polish Government agreed to put 10 U.S. funded missile defense intercepters on Polish soil, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice denied that it had anything to do with Russia, saying instead that they were being put there to defend Poland against North Korea or Iran. The only problem with that, um, LIE, is that neither North Korea nor Iran have any missiles that can reach Poland, and even if they built some, Iran and North Korea don't have any political disagreements with Poland. So she's either lying here, or she's so incredibly mis-informed about international politics that she should resign from her post immediately.

Clip is from the August 22, 2008 edition of Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC.

I'm so sick of all these damn lies! Iran doesn't have and never had any beef with

Poland! Evidently a group of people have an agenda which is more important to them than the lose of ten of thousands human lives. DAMN DEVILS!!!

Vote for Nancy Pelosi as the new Dear Great Leader of the DPRK after Kim Jong Il dies, and she will bring peace and prosperity to North Korea as she has done in California. Do we have your support for Nancy?

Last time I checked Russia still has nukes

[MajorqueenB]

It's all over. The lies, stupidity and pushing the fake agenda.

Americans with brains should sell off thier real estate and get out of that corrupt - yes totally corrupt nation.

Now you're getting to some arguments that might mean something (and are quite independent of missile defense), as opposed to the stupidity Keith was blowing in this segment. It seems that from your comment you would consider the monitoring of their airspace the more egregious offense, but that is already done quite extensively and has been since the cold war. And as far as arming their enemies, there is really no way the GMD system could be used offensively. It is cannot re-enter the atmosphere.

[epiphanyofreason8]

but the shield would include advanced radar systems that would be able to monitor russia. so we are basicly telling the russians we are going to surround you with a military alliance that we head fund and arm your enemies ignore your grievances and build a missile defense system that can monitor your airspace. But we do look forward to working with you on combating terror by giving us intellegence information and contacts and on containing iran and north korea. right..... expect more un vetos
