Trend News Agency Deutsche Presse-Agentur February 12, 2010 Poland passes bill to station US troops for new missile shield Poland's lower house of parliament approved an agreement Friday that specifies conditions for the stationing of US soldiers in Poland as part of revamped plans for a US missile shield, DPA reported. The Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) gives the green light for some 100 US soldiers to be stationed in Poland as part of the shield, which will include Patriot missiles and SM-3s. It passed with 374 votes for, and 34 votes against. Defence Minister Bogdan Klich said the vote Friday makes it possible for the Patriot missiles to be positioned in Poland soon, as early as March or April, reported the Polish Press Agency PAP. .... Russia has been critical of the US- Polish agreement, which would place the missiles in Morag, a town just 100 kilometres from the Russian border. Poland and the US signed the deal on December 11 in Warsaw after a delay reportedly caused by US hesitancy to put its soldiers under the jurisdiction of Polish law. .... The Patriots will be given to Poland in exchange for US hosting rights of a missile system that was first proposed by the George W Bush administration. .... =========================== Stop NATO http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopnato Blog site: http://rickrozoff.wordpress.com/ To subscribe, send an e-mail to: rwroz...@yahoo.com or stopnato-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Daily digest option available. ============================== --------------------------- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: arch...@mail-archive.com EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.bNM5nn.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: antinato-unsubscr...@topica.com For Topica's complete suite of email marketing solutions visit: http://www.topica.com/?p=TEXFOOTER --^----------------------------------------------------------------
