Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski said Tuesday that Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain would carry out the Bush administration’s missile defense plans in Poland if he were elected.

But Sikorski said he received no such assurances from Democratic candidate Sen. Barack Obama. Though the two spoke by phone Monday, Sikorski said he avoided discussing missile defense, the most urgent issue in Polish-American relations.

“I did not think it was my business in my first conversation with him to raise a controversial issue,” Sikorski told The Associated Press.

The Obama campaign also said the issue did not come up.

Why would missile defense come up in a discussion with Obama? Obama was a “Community Organizer” in Chicago.
