Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski and U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice signed an agreement in Warsaw Aug. 20 to build a U.S. base in Poland equipped with 10 non-nuclear anti-ballistic interceptor missiles as part of the U.S. global missile defense system.

Washington, meanwhile, agreed to support Poland's efforts to modernize its armed forces. It also agreed to deploy a battery of Patriot system missiles in Poland, and by 2012 to set up a permanent garrison for the battery, which is to be maintained by the Americans.

USA trying to pick a fight with another country! They are making big mistake if they think Russia is just another push over! 2012 for a Garrison in Poland but the date they picked could suggest maybe not to "permanent".

I agree this will not go over well with Russia. It is unfortunate this could lead to another cold war. I rember the last one and it was no fun. It is much better being friends then it is enemies. So I really hope it wont lead to that.
