  • Such comments "border on the bizarre frankly," Rice said, speaking to reporters traveling with her in Warsaw.

          

    "When you threaten Poland, you perhaps forget that it is not 1988," Rice said. "It's 2008 and the United States has a ... firm treaty guarantee to defend Poland's territory as if it was the territory of the United States. So it's probably not wise to throw these threats around."
  • Speaking to reporters traveling with her, Rice said, "the Russians are losing their credibility."

    "It is unhelpful and it leads nowhere," he told reporters at a NATO meeting in Brussels, Belgium.
