Poland Pres. Blasts Kerry
I wanted to post this yesterday but did not get a chance. Poland is not too happy with Kerry’s comments that our allies are a “coalition of the bribed, the coerced, the bought, and the extorted.”
Polish President Kwasniewski stated that “It’s sad that a Senator with twenty years of experience does not appreciate Polish sacrifice… I don’t think it’s a question of ignorance… It’s immoral not to see this involvement we undertook, because we believe that we have to fight terrorism together, that we need to show international solidarity, that Saddam Hussein is a danger to the world.”
Why does the Polish president believe Sen. Kerry ignores the sacrifices of coalition allies in Iraq? “He thinks more of a coalition that would put the United States together with France and Germany.”
For the record, 17 Polish soldiers have been killed in Iraq.
Here is a link containing the details of our allies. I find Tonga to be the most interesting as they are a country of approx. 100k.
