Stephen Flanagan, CSIS Senior Vice President and director of the CSIS International Security Program, was quoted by the International Herald Tribune, "Amon Czechs and Poles, Same Shield, Different Sense of Threat."
WARSAW: Whenever the United States sends missile defense negotiators to the Czech Republic and Poland, where the Bush administration intends to deploy parts of its anti-ballistic shield, they encounter surprisingly different attitudes.
When it came to the demands set by Tusk and his foreign minister, Radek Sikorski, the U.S. negotiators were taken aback, particularly since the previous nationalist-conservative government under Jaroslaw Kaczynski had set no conditions. "The Poles have become very tough," said Stephen Flanagan, senior vice president of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
