Poland pledges to stay on in Iraq

Warsaw , Apr. 22 (UPI) -- Poland's Defense Minister Jerzy Szmajdzinski said Thursday Polish forces would remain in Iraq at least until free elections can be held next year.

Poland, a staunch ally of the United States, heads a multi-national force of some 9,500 troops, including around 2,500 of its own soldiers.

The news will come as a reassurance to the Bush administration following announcements by Spain, Honduras and the Dominican Republic that they intend to withdraw their forces.

The U.S.-led administration in Iraq hopes elections can be held in early 2005.

with hawkish Republicans calling for the head of Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. One influential Republican senator has even urged the White House to consider reinstating the draft

Which hawkish Republican would that be? And who said Hegel was influential?

I feel like there's a Polish joke in here somewhere, just waiting to be set free!

Update once again on Poland supposed decision to withdraw its troops – It is total nonsense

I fail to see how EVERYONE in the news media miss or avoid the fact that the BUSH administration has always said that the GENERALS are running the war and if/when they request MORE troops HE will make sure they have them.

I have noticed here and elsewhere in the news/media it is being portrayed as a SHIFT of the Generals position towards the BUSH administration policies. Journalists are so damn lazy and their pre-judged opinions permeate their work.

The Poles are wavering and rightly so. They see US fighting like a bunch of pansies. They see 4 Americans roasted and hung and mutilated in Fallujah and they see US sitting on our butts outside Fallujah, FOR THREE WEEKS.

MEANTIME the enemy is getting better armament. They are now using rockets with a 10 mile accurate range. "Elsewhere, five U.S. soldiers were killed and six wounded Saturday morning in a rocket attack north of Baghdad, a senior coalition official told CNN.

This is what is awaiting us. No enemy casualties. 5 dead Americans and 6 more wounded. Why?

We need to wage all out war before it is waged on US.

"The Australian is a national daily broadsheet newspaper published by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. Headquartered in Sydney, but with bureaus around Australia, it was founded in 1964, famously losing money for nearly thirty years.

"The Australian treads the Murdoch editorial line on most issues, in favour of free-trade economic policy and, particularly, relaxed regulation of the media sector, a realpolitik approach to foreign policy, and, unlike its downmarket stablemates, a reasonably liberal approach on social issues. It has a particular focus on foreign news and especially Australia's immediate neighbours in South-East Asia."
