KERBALA, Iraq, April 7 (Reuters) - Polish troops killed the head of militant Iraqi cleric Moqtada al-Sadr's office in Kerbala during clashes in the holy Shi'ite city on Wednesday, Iraqi police said. Police spokesman Rahman Mashawi told Reuters Murtada al-Mussawi, who ran Sadr's Kerbala office, was killed in fighting with Polish troops in the centre of town.
There was no immediate comment from Polish forces, who head a multinational division in the area.
Sadr's militias have been battling occupying forces across south and central Iraq since Sunday. Sadr has rallied supporters with calls for an end to the occupation. The U.S. army said on Wednesday it would destroy his militia.

Say what you want about the Poles, but living between Russia and Germany has made them believers in a compitent military, and believers in real friendship with the USA. I'm glad they're with us, God bless 'em.

The Polish troops are much more honorable than the Ukraine's. Pitiful display of cowardice by the latter.

Yes, the reckless unilateral cowboy rushed into war all by himself in just fourteen months (or 144 months if you wanna count the months from Mar 91 to Mar 03).

Thats impossible, this is a unilateral act of aggression perpetrated at the hands of imperialistic America.

Is it just me or is this last paragraph tilting to the left? Why not mention the U.S. timetable for removing our troops and/or the upcoming elections?
