"...the governments in [Poland and the Czech Republic] see the danger and
want closer ties with the United States. Last week, Poland's military
attache in Moscow suggested the plan to have defenses operational in
2011-12
would be none too soon, since Tehran expects to have long-range missiles
by
2010-13."
REWIND: September 11th, 1683, the day when Jan III Sobieski, the King of
Poland, arrived at the Gates of Vienna.
...on the evening of September 11th, Jan Sobieski arrived at a hill north
of
the city, leading a force of 40,000 Poles...
...the King of Poland, in the van with the fearsome Winged Hussars and
with
20,000 men behind him, led a cavalry charge down the hill into the right
flank of the Ottoman army.
...
The battle was over in three hours. The King drove through the Turkish
lines, and, seeing his success, the Vienna garrison sallied forth from the
city and hit the Turks from the rear. Demoralized by these attacks and
their
failure to breach the wall, the Turks fled eastwards in haste, abandoning
their tents, weapons, battle standards, provisions, and slaves.
