Romania to Host U.S. Missile Shield
In an announcement more apt for a dinner party than a defense memorandum, Romania has agreed to host a new U missile shield in its territory aimed at protecting Western interests from the "emerging threat" of Iranian ballistic missiles.

Your support matters…The BBC:
Romania has agreed to host missile interceptors as part of a new US defence shield, its president says.
President Traian Basescu said the plan was approved by the defence council. It still needs parliamentary approval.
The US scrapped a previous missile shield, based in Poland and the Czech Republic, which had infuriated Russia.
Instead the new system would provide better defence from “the emerging threat” of Iranian short- and medium-range missiles, a US official said.
