Deutsche Presse-Agentur January 20, 2010 Poland unveils location for proposed US Patriot missiles Warsaw: The US Patriot missiles soon to arrive in Poland will be located in Morag, near the Baltic coast, instead of on the outskirts of Warsaw, a Ministry of Defence spokesman said Wednesday. The missiles are part of a system proposed by US President Barack Obama in September last year.... Morag, a town some 60 miles from the Russian border, was chosen...Defence Ministry spokesman Janusz Sejmej told the German Press Agency dpa. .... The battery will be manned by some 100 US soldiers, and will contain four to eight missiles. It is set to arrive in Poland in April and will take two months to set up. The outskirts of Warsaw had previously been reported as the likely location to house the system. Poland signed a deal in December that specified conditions for the stationing of US soldiers on Polish soil, and gave the green light for the new shield. The short- and medium-range system is a less complicated version of a Bush-era plan to station long-range missile-defence systems in Poland and the Czech Republic. The original system drew sharp criticism from the Kremlin, which said the missiles were a target to its nuclear arsenal. .... =========================== Stop NATO http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopnato Blog site: http://rickrozoff.wordpress.com/ To subscribe, send an e-mail to: [email protected] or [email protected] Daily digest option available. ============================== --------------------------- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: [email protected] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.bNM5nn.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [email protected] For Topica's complete suite of email marketing solutions visit: http://www.topica.com/?p=TEXFOOTER --^----------------------------------------------------------------
