Poland Takes Up Slack
According to this CNN article, Poland's NATO Ambassador Jerzy M. Nowak said, "If it is necessary, we will continue leading the multinational division. We are prepared for that even if Spain is not able to fulfil its promise." Poland has led the multinational division of over 9000 troops from 24 nations since last September. Spain was scheduled to take over in July of this year.
My respect for the Poles has grown immensely over the last year or two. They get it, they realize what oppression and terror are, and the need to fight it. Polish PM Leszek Miller told a news conference:
"Revising our positions on Iraq after terrorists attacks would be to admit that terrorists are stronger and that they are right (to pursue attacks)."
Damn straight.

Poland decided a long time
Poland decided a long time ago that it was better served as a partner to the US than a thorn.
