Washington needs to provide more security for Poland if it wants Warsaw to host a U.S. missile defense base, the Polish defense minister said in remarks published Saturday, according to AP. Bogdan Klich, who will go to the United States Tuesday for talks on the program with Defense Secretary Robert Gates, said it would be «very difficult» to convince Poles to support the program without additional security measures. He said the presence of such a base would expose Poland to new threats _ chiefly from terrorist organizations. «We believe that the injection of Americans funds into modernization of our armed forces would balance the risk to our security linked to the construction of the base,» Klich was quoted as saying by the Dziennik newspaper.
