"Polish soldiers can't abandon"
AFP, WARSAW
June 17: Poland's troops in Iraq "cannot abandon the battlefield yet", the country's foreign minister said on Saturday as she prepared to make her first visit to Washington.
"Poland wants to reinforce the civilian contingent of its force, which will stay in Iraq at least until the end of 2006," said Anna Fotyga, who will visit Washington on Monday. "Polish soldiers are already training Iraqi police, judges and prosecutors. The Polish people have always been and will remain opposed to the war. But they are equally aware that you cannot make a deal with a clear and determined evil, which can only be eradicated through direct confrontation," the minister told the Gazeta Wyborcza newspaper.

lizol, I appreciate Poland's commitment. I simply think putting it in perspective is important. It's less than 1% of America's.

To be American is a state of mind. Your do not qualify!,/i>
That is YOUR definition, and it is worthless. Have you served in America's armed forces? Have you worked for years in politics fighting for American values? By my definition you do not qualify as an American.

If they were as committed as the US in Iraq they would have suffered over 500 losses. No lizol, shame on you. ouhuhu

I see a mix of firearms. Do some Poles use American rifles because of availability of supply (ammo and armory servicing)?
