Stuck in between Russia and Germany, this scrappy little country helped stop the Muslim-Ottoman horde from overtaking Europe in the decisive Battle of Vienna, 1683.<br /><br />Yes, after giving the big ef you to the Poles by denying them the missile defense President Bush promised, the least he can do is attend the funeral. If he does not, his absence will be felt, not by the Poles, but by the enemies of freedom the world over.<br /><br />It seems like the press-created godling seems to not like "Bush people" like Karzai [Afghanistan] and Uribe [Columbia]. President Kaczynski was an unabashed admirer of the USA. So it wouldn't be surprising to see Obama send a video of himself like he did during the anniversary of fall of the Berlin Wall, instead. And it also would not be surprising if somehow he "weaves" himself into the event just like in his stupid video!tuleeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06014957696986132377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-32770986999452480272010-04-11T19:29:21.176-04:002010-04-11T19:29:21.176-04:00If he does go to Poland, he could pack up the new ...If he does go to Poland, he could pack up the new missile shield he says Poland will have to wait to get until 2018 (to please the Russians) and take it with him as a gesture of commitment. I mean, it's supposed to be more flexible and mobile than the Bush shield that had been promised and lord knows Obama will need protection while he is there.

There's a move afoot on the international stage to destroy the religion of President Lech Kaczynski, of which he was a devout adherent.

He also will be going into a situtaion where he is not nevermind loved, he is even greatly disliked. He abandoned the Polish people when he gave into Russia' demands to end the missile shield. Poland was only one more ally that Pres-Zero betrayed. <br />I say let him send Hillary and Bill. At least they will know how to comport themselves properly.
