US snubs Poland over WW II ceremony?
26.08.2009 11:02
Five days before the commemoration ceremony of the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II in Poland, Washington has yet to announce who is going to represent the US administration.
Polish officials had been led to believe the US would be represented by Vice-President Joe Biden or Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. But Prime Minister Donald Tusk seems to have lost all hope that the Obama administration will be sending a high-level official to the ceremony - to be attended by Chancellor Merkel, Prime Minister Putin and other heads of government and state at Gdansk - on September 1.
Talking to reporters after a cabinet session, Tuesday, PM Tusk said: Some countries are not sending high-level delegations. This is true of the United States as well.
Andrzej Przewoznik, Head of the Council for the Protection of the Memory of Struggle and Martyrdom, who is in charge of the organization of the commemoration ceremony, has said: All foreign delegations have informed us who is to lead their delegations. The United States is the only exception. I am astonished, he said.

Kind of a pity, that American leaders will not be present.
ONE MORE HIGH LEVEL AFFRONT BY OBOZO TO DESTROY AMERICA’S REPUTATION! All of the PM’s are there except for America’s!
But if it was a Muslim Evening Prayer Meeting in KENYA, ObOZO would have both Biden and Clinton there to sweep the Prayer carpets for his Brothers to kneel on...
Today that is an oxymoron.
Obama figures his uncle liberated Auswitz, and that really ought to be enough.
As an American of polish descent, I want to honor Polands WWII contributions.
Many Poles died in concentration camps, and they fought bravely!
I would also like to thank them for producing 2 of the finest folks I know, my maternal grandparents, who both came here as young children through Ellis Island, and my paternal grandmother.
oops, that should say 3 of the finest folks I know -its early :(
The President should be there. So should the Prime Minister of New Zealand.
We know that your President will be playing hooky. And I believe so will our Prime Minister.
Disgraceful.
All four of my grandparents came from Russian occupied Poland about a century ago.
I had one of my 4 from Ireland. Mine came over for the same reason. Not sure what area of Poland they came from, but I do know my maternal grandfather had a bit of Chezcoslovakian in him
0bama, Biden, Clinton, etc. will be too occupied with the Fat Bastard’s funeral to give proper respect to Poland.
It is much more of a "Kind of stupid" situation. The Zer0 leadership (/s) can't see due to the following position.
> Many Poles died in concentration camps, and they fought bravely!
...and they fought the longest of any of the Allies. Polish troops sustained huge combat losses relative to their numbers, particularly in the Battle of Britain. And the Polish Brigade fought bravely and well under Maj-Gen Stanislaw Sosabowski during Operation Market-Garden.
The Poles deserve to have this anniversary commemorated properly by all of her WW-II Allies and it is a scandal that this is not going to happen.
Cheney should go on his own initiative. He certainly would be received more warmly than any socialist sent by the phuking Kenyan Poseur.
Can’t call Obama an American leader. He’s running for cover again. Cannot do anything to make Americans proud.
I doubt that Obama has any knowledge of history beyond what he was told by 1960s Marxist-Alinsky hippie street rabble and, of course, Rev. Wright.
I am convinced more than ever this man represents pure evil. Anything good he does to benefit others is simply fallout from something he's doing to benefit himself or his cause. Everything he does, every word he says is done and said with himself in mind.
I could be wrong. His performance to date could the result of being thrust into his first responsible role of his life. Time will tell. He wanted this position, and he has it. I don't think he had any understanding how indelibly the Oval Office reveals the true nature of its occupant. I have five words for those, especially The One, who would occupy that office while rendering to it the honor it's due: Ronald Reagan and George Bush !
Poland had one of the most successful resistance movements in Europe. The people set up a shadow government to fight the Nazis. It’s recounted in the book “Story of the Secret State” by Jan Karski, a resistant leader. Poland is one of our friends. Thug obuma will never acknowledge that because Poland is filled with evil white people, and those people resisted obuma’s heroes in the communist and Nazi movements.
Not enough blacks in Poland for Obama to pay attention.
