The President of Poland shot back at Kerry's ignoring his country's contribution (and war dead) in the Iraq War during the debate.
Said President Kwasniewski: "It is sad that a senator with 20 years of experience does not recognize Polish contribution. This is immoral.....There is one thing which should be stated clearly: this coalition is not just the United States, Great Britain, Australia alone; it also involves participation of Polish, Ukrainian, Bulgarian and Spanish soldiers who have died. It is immoral not to recognize the involvement we contributed based on our conviction that there should be unity in fighting terrorism, that there was a need to display international solidarity and that Saddam Hussein was a dangerous individual of this world."
The Polish President was unhappy that Kerry disrespected the coalition and ignored the fact that few countries can match our military strength or contributions to the Iraq situation. Why Kerry chose that tactic during the debate defies belief, and undermined a possible Kerry Administration. It wouldn't surprise me if those countries that he insulted went flying out of Iraq en masse if he won the election and took office in January.
He's got some explaining to do to the coalition.
