Sport-loving president has his sights on the UN

The former communist has a glowing testimonial from George Bush



POLAND will see a remarkable change of guard this weekend as President Kwasniewski, the last senior politician with a communist background, makes way for a centre-right head of state.

More remarkably still, Mr Kwasniewski is heading towards a political afterlife on the international stage. He is being hotly tipped as Washington’s favourite to succeed Kofi Annan as Secretary-General of the United Nations when his term runs out at the end of 2006.

Diplomatic Warsaw is abuzz with rumours that Mr Kwasniewski, a smooth, tennis-playing, polyglot who is seen as one of the champions of New Europe, won US backing on a visit to the White House earlier this month.

Certainly President Bush gave him a glowing public testimonial. “Aleksander has helped to advance the cause of peace by advancing the cause of freedom,” the US leader said.

“He has proven that you can be a friend to the United States and a loyal member of the EU at the same time.”

1. The smart money's on Nobel Peace prize winner El-Baradei,

who knowcks the spots off Kwasniewski (tranlation of this name means 'sour man'...)

Bush's personal endorsement is more likely connected to his immense personal gratitude for Polish gagging of intelligence files re the contract killing of 'God's Banker' Roberto Calvi, whose murder trial is currently adjourned in Rome until next month.

The P2 Lodge's Licio Gelli went on record last month as saying that Calvi's assasination was 'ordered in Poland'. Other comentators including David Yallop (author, 'In God's Name') and Piers Compton (author, 'The Broken Cross') both have said that JP2 ordered Calvi's execution and ensured that the Polish intelligence/security services laid a trail pointing to the Italian branch of the P2.

Kwasniewski nothing more than a Reagan/Bush1/Cheney stooge.
