War in Georgia Speeds up Signing of Deal on Missile Base

American negotiators in Warsaw today gave in to Poland's demands to provide the country with an arsenal of Patriot missiles in exchange for hosting a US Missile Base near Słupsk in the north of the country. The Polish government has been holding out on signing the deal in the hopes of improving their local arsenal. The situation in Georgia has apparently convinced the US that they need to further militarize Poland.
Surveys have traditionally shown that over two-thirds of Poles were against the building of the American missile base in Poland. It is unknown whether this has changed in recent days due to the media bombardment of the populace with comments that Russia poses a significant threat in the region.
The agreement is currently being drawn up but still has to be signed. Most politicians support the program of further militarization in Poland which includes the introduction of a professional army starting in 2010 and playing a more important military role in the region.
