Polish president dies in air crash

A plane carrying Lech Kaczynski, the Polish president, has crashed near Smolensk airport in western Russia, killing all on board, Russian officials have reported.

Polish officials confirmed on Saturday that Kaczynski was on board the flight with his wife, as well as Slawomir Skrzypek, the president of Poland's central bank, Andrzej Kremer, the deputy foreign minister and the army chief of staff.

The crash occurred about 1.5km from Smolensk airport in foggy conditions.

Polish have to wake up and elect conservatives to rule their country instead of hearing the songs , soft words,and threats of liberal european bureaucrats....

Liberal eurocrats aren’t respecting their christian values and are looking for appeasement,at every price,with a despot like Putin who reminds the old fashioned communist Russia

Agreed. Sometimes an accident is just an accident! We can’t just jump to conclusions of a Putin-Obama-Poland conspiracy. Then we sound just like the Alex Jones weirdos who claim Bush knew about 9-11!!

Let’s wait for facts to come out before jumping to conclusions. The bodies aren’t even at room temperature yet!

Its interesting how eye witnesses to the crash said they saw so much and yet there are claims of a heavy fog and several attempts at landing. It gets curiouser and curiouser.

Well, first I’m a lady so at least call me “Winnie” next time, OK? :)

Anyway, I might just be sensitive, but didn’t like the tone of your post and hence it might be preventing me from STILL getting the concept... Could you be more clear?

Are you suggesting that this was an attack on Poland the way Bibi is afraid of attending this nuclear summit?

* I should add Bibi is WISELY afraid — not in a wimpish way... an intelligent way.

Not curious to you, perhaps. None-the-less, if the eye witnesses are to be believed, their accounts of seeing bodies and blood as well as finding the crash site so easily, would seem to indicate the fog was not nearly as heavy as has been claimed. Also, in the discussion by the witnesses, they make no mention of several attempts to land.

Thanks for the link to RT video link. Very sad. Amazing to see the Russians show pity and assistance to the Polish. An amazingly good thing to see.

Heck... Reading all our posts again (I had crossed yours with another discussion obviously and missed your point). I think I’m still not clear-headed. I think I’m ALMOST getting your meaning and it will come to me in a bit...

I’m at a loss on this, Lizol. I don’t know what to think or believe. So many questions in my mind right now.

My prayers are with you my FRiend...

Yeah! You got that right....some just jump ahead of the facts though it is interesting to try to bring the dots into a framework of reason etc.

I have to say that both Russia and Poland will certainly look at this whole event with one eye wide open. More to do with how this affects the political climate in the days ahead.

There is always a certain degree of hesitation when their is leadership changes despite how they may come about. I understand from those speaking out there will be no communist President in the election ahead. But Poland is divided in that respect. I am sure Russia will be doing what it can to affect the election when it does come.

Have never seen the movie, sorry.

I don’t think Russia likes Obama any more than we do, frankly. Even if Obama WAS a Communist - he is not one of “them”. It could be argued he is more of a fascist. Witness these photos I posted of the interaction between Obama and Medvedev (also notice Obama’s stance with Netanyahu on the thread is almost exactly the same as the first one with Medvedev):

I think Putin takes Obama for a fool. I do not like Putin, but I have respect for him in his own way — a smart, worthy adversary in the old warrior code way I guess.

In 1980 when first I ran for the Republican Nomination for State House of Representatives I declared that I did not actually have a liberal Democrat opponent but a Classical Marxist Socialist one. Few people cared to give much credence and pulled out today’s equivalent of an Alex Jones foil hat. As clearly as possible Winnie, in the real world of politics the truth is never fully known regardless of what source proclaims it as the facts and, coincidences are even rarer when dealing with the possible global realignment of military and philosophical power. One more honest to goodness googleable fact is that as the revolving head of The E.U. President Kwasniewski was the FIRST outspoken Western Leader to discredit the claims of climate change as it refers to Global Warming. As far as my tone with you Madame, I believe it was you who wished to ridicule my statement with a snide little sarcastic ditty which was initially inappropriate; so please keep your dislike of my posting to yourself. Finally, Netanyahu isn’t afraid to go to the conference he merely refuses to be treated with the disrespect he was treated to the last time he came to Washington. Being politically astute and looking out for his people unlike our own dictator here he will not be put in a position to justify his right to self defense for his Nation.

You’ve hit the nail on the head as to why I believe Poland needs our prayers right now more than ever. I just can’t help but to be suspicious... As I said earlier Putin has earned that “right” to be regarded in such a way — to ask ALL the questions possible to make SURE nothing is left unturned. All, JMHO.

Well then please accept my apology for a heavy hand and a harsh tone. Thank you for clarifying.

Interesting, twisted comments considering he just stabbed the people of Poland in the back.

This man means nothing he says. He is the most prolific liar I have ever witnessed. He is without conscience.
