Comments:U.S. and Poland sign missile-defence deal angering Russia

This comes right after the situation in Georgia. The "missile shield" is useless and it doesn't work. This "missile shield" only has two functions: one political, the other economical. The political one is to serve as a huge US flag in Russia's backyard in order to piss them off. The economical is to give money to the US politically motivated military industrial complex. All of this (conflict in caucasus, tension, etc.) is an attempt by the soon leaving Bush Administration to create a new Cold War, and carry it towards the next US presidency... But, like all of their intentions since the year 2000, it will not succeed. They're just too incompetent.
