I have already posted an article about, but thanks anyway Poti.
I think that I explained enough well why these contracts were signed.
"Iraq will purchase 131 mln usd worth of military hardware from Poland, Iraqi deputy defense minister Ziad Catan said." Iraqi government decided about this contract.
"Bumar lost a major bid early this year to Nour USA to supply the Iraqi army with a wide rage of equipment." Americans decided about that contract. "Nour USA" provided some old crap and that's why Iraqis chose Bumar next time.
Unlike many of the euros, the Polish have a vary favorable view of Americans in general. They even name things after Ronald Reagan.
Unlike FARCE and Germany they do remember what America did for them.
They joined the Coalition of the Willing and played a big part in exposing france's corruption (including finding french-made missiles whose date of manufacture was January 7th 2003 and varous other evidences of chirac's deep friendship with Saddam).
I think the special "no-visa" status should be stripped from the enemies known france and germany and give that to real ally Poland. Actually I say cut off ALL ties to france and germany and spain and strengthen ties with Poland.
