. >> reporter: a strategic analyst at the conservative heritage foundation nil gardner says the obama administration abandoned allies under pressure by the russians. >> this is an appalling surrender by the obama administration to the russians, an incredible about face with regard to u.s. policy and the undermining of key allies in eastern and central europe. this is all about appeasing moscow. >> reporter: congressman don misulo a republican member of the house foreign affairs committee says obama's new stance will embolden iran. >> it simply sends the wrong message to the iranians at a time when we should be stronger. i am very much concerned over the president's shift in a big policy issue. >> reporter: one clue as to why the administration has made such a sudden shift comes from the language of president obama's remarks on the issue. he emphasizes a, quote, less costly, less controversial system to defend against iran's short and medium-range missiles. secretary gates also appears to have changed his mind on china. in previous years defense officials have stressed military coopera

we just talked to the white house gardner. there is a clear sense now that this president said that we should have been in afghanistan earlier on and that was the battle that never was. i am hearing less about that sentiment from now. >> i am worried about that. afghanistan being a war of necessity. in the interview he did last sunday, the idea that he is not only considering whether to send more troops, but the basic new strategy, which i believe is the correct strategy that president obama chose in march of this year to be implemented by a new commanding general, who he sent in. i do not know what has happened in the last half year since then. neil: on recommendations from general petraeus. >> i hope that what we're seeing here is the president saying, wait a second. this is the big moment. maybe he as historical parallels in mind. i think there is only one correct decision. it is to do essentially what general mcchrystal has asked him to do. neil: thank you. >> one last thing. do you remember the peter sellers movie? garden
