Poland is Pulling Out
October 4th, 2004
As noted earlier, though Mr. Bush singled Poland as a member of the coalition that’s now in Iraq, it appears that Poland is a reluctant member of that coalition. Again, as noted earlier, Poland’s president, Alexander Kwasniewski, has been quoted as saying: “They deceived us about the weapons of mass destruction, that’s true. We were taken for a ride.”
And now, Mr. Kwasniewski is making it clear that the Polish force will begin withdrawing its forces from Iraq as early as January, with the hopes of full withdrawal by the end of 2005:
“Polish troops will start to withdraw from Iraq in the New Year and all will be out by the end of 2005, the country’s president has promised.” [ Oct. 4, 2004 ]
