BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) -- Poland has vowed not to pull troops out of Iraq because of "terrorist" attacks and said it was willing to remain in command of a stabilisation force there if Spain, which had been due to take over, withdrew.

Nice profile page with the slide show!

Three Cheers for Our Polish and Romanian Friends.

The last two paragraphs of the Romanian Article really gets into how France and Germany abandoned much of Europe to the Communists after WWII.

They would do the same with the mass murdering Islamofascists.

bump in appreciation of Poland

pre-emptive VK scramble alert - such a thread will almost certainly draw out some trolls.

Some nations "get it" and others just do not. When the schoolyard bully starts looking for a target, you band together with friends. You do not wither and cave, and hope that he'll reward your cowardice with temporary solitude... because if he doesn't find anyone else to vent upon, he'll use that misguided hope to hurt you even worse.

Here's praying for victory, and may Poland share in the fruits of that victory for a long time to come.

Thank you. One of harderst things I had is to read great Shakespeare's books. I think you have to be born in native speaking english country to really understand the writings. I read Shakespeare in Polish but that is different first time I try to read in English I was like wow :}

I love those pictures. Thanks to Poland!

Btw, I grew up in Chicago and my grandfather was Czech--he spoke Polish fluently. There's a large Polish community in Chicago. :)

Bump for our Romanian friends. I was in Poland that time Romanians took justice to their own hands and overthrow Stalinist regime.

[Grampa Dave]

That must have been an exciting time to see the mass murdering Communist Russian overthrown.

I hope the American public and the Bush Adm. take note who are our friends. Friendship is a relationship that has been tested, retested and re-retested in times of need. We are grateful to have allies like the Poles.

As for the socialist in Spain, they deserve what they sow yesterday, if they get hit again, don't bother to call us. Their 200 dead means nothing when the terrorist think they can repeat the same acts over and over again, those 200 will turn into 2000 and 20000 in the years ahead. Shame on Spain to repeat the same mistake Neville Chamberlain made six decades plus ago.

The U.N. has witnessed what the terrorists are capable of and damn well realize what is necessary to shut the door on it. Experience has shown them the difference between Carter, Reagan, and Clinton. Today only a moron needs to consider what has happened between 9/10 and today. Afghan and Iraq determination have allowed for achievement. The states are strong. The idea of siding with the F-ings is like putting a gun to your head with only one bullet in it and simply hoping.

After hearing that Spain had made a France of itself this weekend, I prayed one of our other coalition members would step in with the needed troops...and forgive me, but I specifically prayed it would be Poland because they are among the toughest, most tenacious troops in the world. They "get it". God bless them and keep them safe & strong.

I'm sending PM Miller a card of thanks tomorrow...and maybe flowers to Poland's Ambassador, too.

[bogdanPolska12]

Let the trolls come in. They will be annihilated with truth. Watching FNC. One Spanish guy said maybe now AQ will leave us alone. Where do this people live in fantasy?

[Centurion2000]

They keep their heads in a tight, dark and stinky place.

[RusIvan]

Because Poland have thier balls. They are slavic after all!

I hope that Poland will stop support of chechen insergents now.

[King Prout]

that they suffer from widespread cranio-rectal impaction is my only response

[King Prout]

beat me to it, I see
