The president of Poland chides John Kerry for leaving Poland out as part of the coalition in Iraq:
Reacting to John Kerry's omission of Poland’s efforts in Iraq, President of Poland Alexander Kwasniewski said, “I find it kind of sad that a senator with 20 year parliamentary experience is unable to notice the Polish presence in the anti-terror coalition.”
When asked about Kerry's derogation of non-U.S. coalition countries fighting in Iraq, Kwasniewski said: “I don't think it's an ignorance. The anti-terror coalition is larger than the USA, the U.K. and Australia. There are also Poland, Ukraine, and Bulgaria etc. which lost their soldiers there. It's highly immoral not to see our strong commitment we have taken with a strong believe that we must fight against terror together, that we must show our strong international solidarity because Saddam Hussein was dangerous to the world.”
“That's why we are disappointed that our stance and ultimate sacrifice of our soldiers are so diminished,” President Kwasniewski said. “Perhaps Mr. Kerry thinks about the coalition with Germany and France, countries which disagreed with us on Iraq.”
Ouch!
