Poland "taken for a ride"
The Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski said last week that his country had been "taken for a ride" regarding the alleged existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. "That they deceived us about the weapons of mass destruction, that's true", he said. If this is true of Poland it is also true of Australia. In both cases the Polish President and the Australian Prime Minister went along with the lies of Bush and Blair and their respective intelligence organisations. They both set out to deceive their peoples and drag them into the Iraq quagmire. Illustrative of the stupidity and faulty reasoning of the Polish President, he went on to say that it made no sense to pull Polish troops out of Iraq. He claimed: "What would be the point of pulling the troops if it meant a return to war, ethnic cleansing and conflict in neighbouring countries. If we protest against the US dominant role in world politics and we withdraw our troops knowing they will be replaced by US soldiers, what would be the point of such a move?" These dire consequences that the Polish President anticipates are already occurring and are the direct result of the US, British and Australian invasion and the traitorous role by the leaders of some other countries who have joined in the dirty game of keeping their military boot on the heads of the Iraqi people. The Polish President has proved to be just as subservient to the interests of the United States as is the Australian Prime Minister. The Polish President claimed that "passiveness will lead us nowhere". How about trying some honesty and extend the right of the Iraqi people to determine their own affairs and get out of Iraq?
