US President-elect Barack Obama will go ahead with plans to build part of a controversial missile defence system on Polish soil, Poland has announced.
President Lech Kaczynski's office said the pledge was made during a telephone conversation between the two men.
Russia opposes the US plans, and early this week said it planned to deploy missiles on Poland's border and electronically jam the US system.
Let's not and say we did, please. Considering that so much of that change stuff involves being not-Bush and repairing America's global image, this is not a particularly brilliant start, if it is indeed true.
Update (h/t BJ in comments): BBC is now reporting the Obama campaign denies such assurances. Glad to hear it.
