Hey bush (you moron)...YOU FORGOT POLAND!
Or rather, you forgot what Poland so recently said to the entire world;

1. "We have never hidden our desire for Polish oil companies to finally have access to sources of commodities,"

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/3043330.stm

Gee that does explain why the polish government was willing to send 200-250 troops into Iraq. It's the OIL, stupid.

2. "They deceived us about the weapons of mass destruction, that's true. We were taken for a ride."said Poland's president.

http://www.abc.net.au/am/content/2004/s1069242.htm

By the way, bushler, in the recent world poll, only 3 nations support you in any way over Kerry; Nigeria, Philippines, and Poland.

http://www.iht.com/articles/537873.html

And only 32% of those polled in Poland (and Nigeria) preferred you, bushie. And even then, Kerry was only 5 points behind you in these 3 "powerhouse coalition nations".

EVEN THE BRITS PREFER KERRY.

47% of those interviewed said they would choose Kerry, compared with only 16% for you, bushie.

Poland to Buy Lockheed Jets
U.S.-Backed Loan Aided Decision
By Andrzej Stylinski
Associated Press
Saturday, December 28, 2002; Page E03

WARSAW, Dec. 27 -- Poland announced today that it has chosen Lockheed Martin F-16 jet fighters to modernize its air force to NATO standards in an order worth about $3.5 billion.

Lockheed Martin Corp. beat out two rival European bids with a U.S. government-backed offer to supply 48 of the planes as well as weapons, pilot training and investment in Poland to help offset the cost of replacing Soviet-made fighters.

-snip-

Washington padded Lockheed Martin's F-16 bid with the offer of a $3.8 billion loan to Poland with repayment terms of up to 15 years. The U.S. Congress approved the loan in October. U.S. officials have argued that their financial plan is flexible and will depend on Poland's payment ability.
