WARSAW - US president-elect Barack Obama has told Polish President Lech Kaczynski he will go ahead with plans to build a missile defence shield in eastern Europe despite threats from Russia, Warsaw said Saturday.

'Barack Obama has underlined the importance of the strategic partnership between Poland and the United States, he expressed his hope of continuing the political and military cooperation between our two countries.

'He also said the anti-missile shield project would go ahead,' said a statement issued by Kaczynski after the two men spoke by telephone.

Warsaw and Washington signed a deal on August 14 to base part of a US missile shield in Poland, amid Moscow's vehement opposition and mounting East-West tensions over Georgia.

2. lousy news, if true, and Yet Another Democratic Disappointment...

Still, I'd like to see it from another source....

3. Unconfirmed sources. The pres of Poland has a reputation as a liar and then there's the AP.

It ain't so until he says it's so.

8. The Kaczynski brothers rule "the law and order' party supported Bush's Iraq Policies

Don't buy into their spiel until after January

9. This has now been debunked by Obama. See link to thread inside.

I guess the Polish president was trying for the "assumptive close" - LOL. Or, he's just a liar.
