the big payback
Don't forget Poland!
President Bush said today that he would seek a 50 percent increase in American military assistance to Poland, a staunch ally in Iraq but one engaged in debate over withdrawing its entire force from that country.
Warsaw, under political and economic pressure, had sought an increase in American military aid, and a Polish reporter asked about that. "The president and I talked about that," Mr. Bush said. He said he would ask Congress to increase Polish military aid to $100 million from the current $65 million.
"Poland's been a fantastic ally," Mr. Bush said, "because the people of Poland love freedom."
Freedom haters: tsunami victims, people who breathe air or drink water, and the working class.
