In October, Poland elected Donald Tusk as Prime Minister, ousting Bush-ally Jaroslaw Kaczynski. In his first address to parliament today, Tusk promised to withdraw all 900 Polish troops from Iraq by the end of 2008.

Why shouldn’t they leave; Brit Hume declared victory last week.
November 23rd, 2007 at 5:02 pmWhy are all of these so-called “withdrawals” always set at some time in the indefinite future? Total withdrawal now! Stop BSing around…
November 23rd, 2007 at 5:12 pmPoland had troops in Iraq? I completely forgot.
November 23rd, 2007 at 5:13 pmHey Poland was #3 right behind the UK when the rightards were listing all of the countries in the coalition of the willing tm.
November 23rd, 2007 at 5:14 pmThe Coalition of the Leaving?
Are the Togans still there? The Albanians?
And what about that platoon of Spanish paella cooks?
November 23rd, 2007 at 5:16 pmSince the Brittish have stopped patroling the streets of Basra, violence is DOWN 90%. Troops withdraw: Violence Decreases
it has a nice ring to it.
November 23rd, 2007 at 5:30 pmThat brings a little tear to my eye and reminds me of that famous romantic scene from the movie Casablanca, where George Bush and Tony Blair said good-bye at the airport:
“We’ll always have Poland. We didn’t have, we, we lost it until we got it back last night.”
November 23rd, 2007 at 5:38 pmIt’s official. Americans (at least our elected officials) are dumber than “Polacks”.
November 23rd, 2007 at 5:39 pmDumb Question: If we need X number of troops for “our mission” (whatever that is), and Poland withdraws 900 and Britain (who had been bulldoging an entire region) has withdrawn their troops, etc. etc.
Doesn’t that mean that we will have to get more troops from somewhere to make up for the loss and reach our quota ?
November 23rd, 2007 at 6:02 pmSyria and Jordan are not renewing Iraqi visa and sending the Iraq people back to Iraq. Now the collision of a welling are leaving faster then you can say Turkey. The US spin is on as the lies as to why this is happen are again made to trick the American people. Yes Bush/Cheney say we won but won what?
November 23rd, 2007 at 6:05 pmCheney didn’t get his oil rights from Iraq and Israel didn’t get land they can call their own. Israel is still sitting on Palestinian land for as Israel say 60 years now.
I guess the President of Iran thought Americans had read the history of 1947 when the US/UK asked the UN if Jewish refugees could allowed to live in a part of Palestine land until they found a real home. Sorry I forgot Americans don’t read American history they watch movies to get that education. Well for those who are interested in reading it’s in the history books. But I must say 1947 was a good year for both myself and the Jewish people. I was born that year and the Jewish people settle on Palestine land that your. Check out the ads of Israel’s 60th anniversary if you don’t want to read.
the second largest membership of the coalition of the willing has always been paid contractors. At some point, I’m sure blackwater et al will be number one in the coalition.
November 23rd, 2007 at 6:18 pmDamn… there goes Poland. Now what is the coward Bush going to do? Next thing you know, one of those tiny Pacific islands will be pulling out their single troop. Then coward Bush will be up a creek without a paddle
November 23rd, 2007 at 6:45 pmWhich Pole is Bush going to polish now?
November 23rd, 2007 at 6:56 pmGood thing, we still have Palau there.
November 23rd, 2007 at 7:18 pmHey don’t forget Iceland. They contributed troops as well. It was only a pair of troops but hey, it’s the thought that counts, right?
November 23rd, 2007 at 7:30 pmOh no!!
Not Poland!
November 23rd, 2007 at 10:04 pmThe Chimp must be devastated…
November 23rd, 2007 at 10:12 pmNext step is Rudd winning resulting in the withdrawal of Australian troops from Iraq.
Which will probably be …tomorrow.
