"The deal - initialled in Warsaw on Thursday (14 August), but still subject to negotiation on "technical details" - will see 10 long-range Interceptor missiles installed on the Baltic Sea coast by 2012 to help defend the US and Europe against attacks from "rogue states."
Detta skall så klart ses som ett gensvar på konflikten mellan Ryssland och Georgien.
"Above all, it seems that the Americans changed their opinion as a result of the situation in the Caucasus," Mr Klich said in Polish daily Dziennik. The Georgia conflict "pushed the Poles, to be very frank," a US official told the Wall Street Journal. "It sends a signal to Moscow that people are not going to be intimidated."
Man skall även flytta Amerikanska trupper till Polen samt utöka/kringå natos bestämmelser kring befogenheter att försvara landet mot attacker.
"The pact will also see one US-controlled unit of 96 short-range Patriot missiles accompanied by 110 US soldiers moved from Germany to Poland. And it contains a clause obliging US military support in the event of attack by a third party, governed by a process which is faster than the NATO solidarity clause."
Men så här ligger det till, egentligen: USA övertalar Georgiens president Mikheil Saakashvili att försöka inta Syd-Ossetien över en natt. Man vet att detta tvingar Ryssland att agera, vartpå man kan hävda rätten att utöka Imperiets krigsmaskineri i hjärtat av Europa eller snarare, rent geografiskt. Dess njure.
