Pissing off the Russians again

AFP has an article about a new agreement with Poland about siting interceptor missiles in that country, with radar in the Czech Republic, to ward off attacks by 'rogue' states like Iran. The Russians think, of course, that it's really aimed at their missile launch capabilities, and they're not happy as a result. "Washington has said it expects the system to be up and running by 2013, with costs for the European extensions ranging from 1.6 billion to 2.5 billion dollars."
