Obama meets Putin.bbmp

Has there ever been a more dangerous threat in the White House? Giving Russia our secret data on missile defense in order to enlist Russia in the missile defense effort. In August 2009, Obama made the decision to abandon our anti-missile shield in Poland and the Czech Republic in a craven capitulation to Putin.

Exclusive: U.S. dangles secret data for Russia missile shield approval Reuters (hat tip Choi)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Obama administration is leaving open the possibility of giving Moscow certain secret data on U.S. interceptor missiles due to help protect Europe from any Iranian missile strike.

A deal is being sought by Washington that could include classified data exchange because it is in the U.S. interest to enlist Russia and its radar stations in the missile-defense effort, a Pentagon spokeswoman said Tuesday in written replies to Reuters.

No decision has been made yet on whether the United States would offer data about the interceptors' "velocity at burnout," or VBO, said Air Force Lieutenant Colonel April Cunningham, the spokeswoman, but it is not being ruled out.

VBO is at the heart of what Russia wants as the price for its cooperation, said Riki Ellison, head of the private Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance, who has close ties to missile defense and military officials.

VBO tells how fast an interceptor is going when its rocket-booster motor fuel is spent and the motor burns out.

With VBO and certain other technical data, Moscow could more readily develop countermeasures and strategies to defeat the system and transfer the information to others, Ellison said.

Ellen Tauscher, the administration's special envoy for strategic stability and missile defense, held talks in Moscow Tuesday with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, including on missile defense, a State Department spokesman said.

The Defense Department, in its response to Reuters, ruled out giving Russia information on either "telemetry" or U.S. "hit-to-kill" technology.

Telemetry involves the automatic transmission and measurement of data from remote sources to monitor a missile flight. Hit-to-kill is the way in which modern U.S. interceptors, such as Raytheon Co's Standard Missile-3, destroy targets by slamming into them.

The department emphasized the Obama administration was following in the footsteps of the George W. Bush administration in seeking missile defense cooperation with Moscow, a process formally begun in 2004.

In keeping open the possibility of sharing VBO information with Moscow, Obama is at odds with Republicans in Congress who have said they will seek to legislate a prohibition on such data-sharing.

Republican Rep. Mike Turner, chairman of the House of Representatives' Armed Services subcommittee on strategic forces, faulted the administration for what he described as "caving" to Russian concerns at the expense of U.S. interests.

The Defense Department, in its reply to Reuters, said the sharing of classified U.S. data is subject to an interagency group known as the National Disclosure Policy Committee, which evaluates requests for dealing with other governments.

Bradley Roberts, a deputy assistant secretary of defense, told Turner's committee last week the United States had been making "no progress" toward persuading Russia to drop its opposition to the shield despite its willingness to consider sharing certain classified data.

The announcement about US abandoning its pans for missile defense shield in Poland and Czech Republic was made on 17th of September 2009, EXACTLY 70 YEARS TO THE DATE of Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939. Talking about nice treatment of staunch US ally ? HUSSEIN Obama is probably equally hated in Poland as was FDR after selling us to the Soviets in Yalta and Potsdam.

This stupid douchebag was responsible for getting the Polish government assassinated–that story went nowhere, too.

We have to share our military secrets with the enemy or they won’t cooperate in our defense network against them.

I thought obongo was going to go down on his knees, in that video and give Putin a blow-job. I guess he would have, but remembered where he was, in time… I wonder if our obameron will do the same for Britain??

I never believed it but I’m beginning to accept that cocaine or something stronger and along with islam is at work in the White House. Many decisions are just too bizarre and dangerous.

I’ll say something for the OWS occupy tribe, at least they got out there and you heard their voices! But back to reality and the sober ‘couldn’t give a damn masses’. This story, one would imagine, get the USA folk out of their chairs and onto the streets demanding a response from the Prez, but oh no….just a muffled whinge here and there. In the main, people today are just piss poor limp walkovers. Think I’ve said enof…..Pfft!

Hopefully the Russians are holding out because they can’t believe how easily Obama gave in. Surely they must think it is some sort of trick where we give them false information to stop their opposition to the missle system. When they finally figure out that Obama is so naive that he will give them the real information, we are in big big trouble. At that point they will probably demand that Russian troops operate our missle facilities for their cooperation. I fear that Obama, whose world exists in his own mind, would turn the facilities over to them. This man cannot be re-elected President.

Obama declassified a lot of things to our enemies. It is too bad his Liberal Leftists (supremacist) elitist supporters will only realize what he is doing when they find themselves paying 50 of their wealth to the Muslim world in tribute, otherwise known as jizya.

Well now the secret is finally out. Obama is not a closet muslim after all, he is a closet Liberal.
Giving in to Russia is a classic Liberal approach to world politics as is abandoning our allies.
Your average liberal has never found a dictatorship he could not relate to.
There are those out there who still mourn the loss of the Soviet Union and one would suspect that Barak is probably one of them.

I wonder how much Russia will make selling the same info to the Chinese, North Koreans, Iranians and Pakistanis.
That is after Putin and Cronies pocket their 90% cut
