#1 Wonder if we also gave them the same "Zero down, Zero Percent Financing, No payments until the 12th of never" deal we usually swing with the Isrealies?

#2 I heard in gratitude for accepting the french deal, the french were prepared to give them a 100ft monument of Chiraq holding a book with the inscription "never miss an opportunity to shut up". Apparently the American deal proved better.

#3 The Poles sent 200 commandos to Iraq, and they are very pro-American. Plus they really don't like the Germans and they wanted equipment that worked. This is a win-win for our side vs. the weasels.

#4 Just a slight qualification. Although the Polish Government is very pro-American, the people are less so. However, this has more to do with the disillusionment with capitalism and economic conditions, and there is no outright hatred of Americans. There is no outright hatred of anybody for that matter. Except maybe the Jews but that's a miniscule remnant of the past and is slowly disappearing.
Although the Poles don't love the Germans, it's a strange relationship because Germany in one sense is a key to Polish prosperity. Or atleast a source of jobs.
