PRAGUE -- Vice President Joe Biden made significant strides during a trip to Central Europe this week in relieving anxieties that the Obama administration stirred up last month when it scrapped a Bush-era plan for missile defense.
Biden won agreement yesterday from the Czech Republic to join Obama's reconfigured missile-defense system, just two days after Poland said it also would take part.
NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmusse praised the plan as offering good defense for the West from future Iranian threats.
