Sounds like we've got the makings of a joke here:
Poland may reduce its commitment of forces to the war in Iraq by 40 percent by January 2005 and have all its troops out by the end of that year, Polish officials said Monday.
Polish President Aleksander Kwasnieswski said a withdrawal is in the discussion stage but could not be finalized until after Iraqi elections scheduled for January.
...
Currently, Poland has 2,500 troops committed to Operation Iraqi Freedom, but would reduce that number to 1,500 January 2005, the spokesman said, and the remaining troops would leave Iraq by December 2005.
Q: What did the Polish say to George W. Bush?
A: Hey, even we're not dumb enough to stay in Iraq.
I also found myself thinking of Polish jokes when, during the debate, Dubya repeatedly reminded John Kerry that Poland, global superpower that it is, was also part of the "coalition of the willing."
How many Polish troops does it take to find WMD in Iraq?
Haven't come up with a good punchline yet.
