As we look at our relations with Russia during the Obama administration, there has every effort to 'reset' our relationship to use the phrase frequently expressed by the Obama foreign policy team. But what has come of this resetting? Before Bush left office he had reached agreement with Poland and the Czech Republic for a missile defense system intended to protect us from ICBM's from Iran.

In September of 2009, Obama cancelled these plans, complying with Putin's demands. In return for this Russia stepped up its aid to Iran's nuclear weapons program and continues to this day to supply arms and support to Syria. He rejected all call for sanctions on Iran to discourage them from proceeding with it's plans to develop nuclear weapons and the means to conduct a strike on Israel. Gee, I'm glad Obama reset our relationship with Russia, they've worked so hard to help us prevent a nuclear holocaust in the Middled East.

Now Obama tells Medvedev that, "He will be freer to work on missile defense systems after the election. Why after the election? What does he intend to do that would endanger his chances of reelection?
