Maybe not to the France or England but what about Poland?

President-elect Obama has spoken to the president of Poland about relations between the two countries but didn’t make a commitment on the multibillion-dollar missile defense program undertaken by the Bush administration, an Obama aide said Saturday.
That contrasts with a statement by Polish President Lech Kaczynski, who said Obama told him the missile defense project would continue.
The U.S. and Poland signed an agreement in August for basing American missiles in Poland as part of a shield against possible missile attacks from Iran.

On Wednesday, the day after Obama’s election, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev threatened to move short-range missiles to Russia’s borders with NATO allies even as the U.S. offered new proposals on nuclear arms reductions as well as missile defense. Allowing Russian observers at planned missile defense sites in Poland and the Czech Republic were among them, U.S. officials said.

It should be too surprising that we would leave Poland hanging, what do we care about them?
