Poland to Commit Troops in War With Iraq

Poland would send up to 200 soldiers to take part in a U.S.-led war with Iraq, President Aleksander Kwasniewski announced Monday.

"We are ready to use a Polish contingent in the international coalition to contribute to making Iraq comply with the U.N. resolutions," Kwasniewski said.

It's a difficult decision but necessary."

Poland backs Washington's tough line on Iraq and was among eight European countries that signed a letter pledging solidarity with the United States in its efforts to disarm Saddam Hussein.

Thank you, Poland.
If 200 troops is all that you can send, that's good enough!
If you hold true to form, your people are pretty fierce fighters!
And we know you know all there is to know about solidarity!
This show of friendship and support is terrific!
And if I knew how to say "Thank you!" and "God bless you." in Polish, I would so I hope you can read English.
