HUNDREDPERCENTER NEWSWIRES: President of Poland Calls Kerry 'Immoral'. I'd seen that post earlier in the day and was skeptical. I don't remember where I originally came across it, though Allah might have been the place. In any case, Allah links to a translation of the original Polish that seems genuine. And it's a great read:
“I’m sorry that a senator with a 20-year experience doesn’t appreciate Polish sacrifice.” – so commented president Aleksander Kwasniewski the part of the televised debate between George Bush and John Kerry, during which the Democratic candidate didn’t notice the presence of Poland in the coalition fighting with terrorism.
“I don’t think it was ignorance – underlined president in Facts TVN. – One thing should be said clearly: this coalition is not just The United States, Great Britain, and Australia, but also participation of troops from Poland, Ukraine, Bulgaria and Spain, who have died. It’s immoral not to notice this engagement, which we undertook convinced that we must fight together with terrorism and that we must show international solidarity, and that Saddam Hussein presented a danger for the world.”
“President Bush acted like a true Texan gentleman – fighting to acknowledge (appreciate) the involvement of other countries in the coalition” – underlined Kwasniewski.
“By attacking President Bush, John Kerry underlines that his efforts in building the coalition in the war against terrorism are limited and forgets that next to the American troops in Iraq are the British, the Australians, Poles, and also around 30 other countries that sent troops for stabilizing purposes so it is surely very broad coalition” – said the premier.

I get frustrated readin comments like this. I mean Kerry is a great guy and Poland didn't do that much at the begining. I think we need to look at Bush carefully. Kerry said something today that really made me think. I've posted this elsewhere but you should read it.
I overheard the following interaction with Senator Kerry here in Ohio earlier today.
Unknown man: "Senator what one thing would you say to Bush if you were alone with him?"
Kerry paused
Kerry: "I would say a lot of things, but if it had to be one? I'd say, Mr. President, we ask not just for a president of character. We ask not just for a president of will. We ask for a president of ability. This is what you lack."
I think the guy was flored, I know I was.
A man of ability. Thats who I want. Face it, Bush can't hack it.
