For the Czech prime minister Jan Fischer, the news came in a call hastily placed by President Barack Obama, shortly after midnight on Thursday in Prague.
In Warsaw, his Polish counterpart Donald Tusk initially declined to answer the phone from the White House - as he guessed the purpose, from the unusual timing, and wanted to prepare a response.
Mr Obama last week unveiled the most dramatic national security reversal of his presidency by scrapping his predecessor George W Bush's planned anti-ballistic missile shield in eastern Europe.
With this volte face, the Obama administration has brought the curtain firmly down on the Bush doctrine of defiant diplomatic unilateralism and ushered in a new era in which America will seek partners and make compromises on the world stage.

Implementing national security reversals, scrapping the missile defense shield and jeopardizing U.S. allies in Eastern Europe...priceless.
For everything else, there's Obamacard.
I’m sure this poser could assure those fearful nations that the UN will be happy to watch as they are decimated by the nations we promised to protect them from. No matter that he said hwe would keep the missile program for them in 2008. LIAR
It’s #647 on his plan to destroy America.
Fear among allies? How can that be? I thought they all loved obama and the world would be a safer more sane place once obama and not that cowboy Bush was President.
Fixed.
Odumbo has no idea what this does to his credibility with the rest of the world.
On April 5 2009 Odumbo was in Prague gave a speech, err teleprompter reading, saying he fully supported the missile defense system ...
Looks like he thinks shuck and jive works everywhere ...
They’re racist.
NEW ALLIES BELOW.
“Odumbo has no idea what this does to his credibility with the rest of the world.”
I don’t think he cares. He’ll just make a speech saying what needs to be said - and that should be all we need, because, you know, he doesn’t lie. If something bad happens as a result, well, it’s all President Bush’s fault anyway.
The Manchurian Candidate for our enemies strikes again.
Right. And you guys over there are gonna just love the new "partners" he hooks up with. (hint: It won't be you.)
But Europeans stuck their big fat noses in our business and campaigned for the black racist commie.
Surely they must be happy that the bully US is removing itself from defense/military entanglements with Europe. The Europeans ran their campaign for Dear Leader on reaction against Bush’s military activity in Iraq claiming dear leader would bring peace, peace, peace! Now that they helped orchestrate our oppression, they are afraid?
If I remember correctly, Europe was in orgamastic estacy upon the news of obama’s election. They are only getting whatthey deserve.
His plan is to do everything he can to help our enemy’s. This is just one of them.
The East Europeans (who are now being screwed by Obama) have always been pro-American. This is the first time they felt themselves being sold out. It’s the West Europeans who wanted Obama.
If the Illinois GOP were smart (HUGE if), it would start outreaching to the about 3 million Polish people in the Chicagoland area in preparation to the next election.
I read yesterday that by a majority, Poles supported Obama.
