"Despite this positive record, Poland not only received no military aid (or any other aid)

Hold on here.... Did we not just finish a few rather large bases in Germany and moving them to Poland? That's a huge pile of money leaving germany and heading for Poland. Thats worth more than any Aid. Polish forces will be training with and working with our Airforce and Army.

With this moving bases from Germany to Poland it is popular myth. There must be some more reasons than policy to do it. Practically there is no strategic reasons to do it. I know that new American bases will be build in Romania and Bulgaria which also are involve in Iraq. Distance to the middle east is much lesser than it is from Poland.
