WASHINGTON - President Bush discussed the latest developments in Iraq in a 20-minute phone conversation on Monday with Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski.
White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Bush thank Kwasniewski for Poland's help in sending troops to Iraq.
The United States last week handed military control over a large belt of Iraq south of Baghdad to a Polish commander.
"The two leaders discussed the developments in Iraq, including the need to help Iraqis bring greater security to their country and to advance the establishment of democratic Iraqi political institutions," McClellan said.
The spokesman said the two presidents also discussed developments in the Middle East.

Father Jerzy Popieluszko, a popular young parish priest in a suburb of Warsaw, Poland, spoke out against the abuses of communism and supported the then-banned Solidarity labor union. Thousands flocked to hear his Sunday sermons. He was abducted by the Polish secret police on October 19, 1984. His savagely beaten body was found 11 days later in an icy reservoir. Father Popieluszko's death serves as testimony to the struggle for freedom, basic rights, and human dignity

And of course how appropriate that Stefan in that movie was played by that pinko in real life Ed Harris.

I don't know if you were around FR back when this was originally posted, but here is an older FR thread talking about Poland's role in WWII (there was an excellent post in there about Westerplatte).

Almost as good as casting Alec Balwin as General Doolittle in Pearl Harbor. The problem with Hollywood is finding a non-pinko actor or actress
