Bush remembers Poland, but forgets America

In pandering to Poland, Bush forgets about his own military's needs

Washington, D.C. - Today, the United States has agreed to help modernize the Polish military in exchange for that country's commitment to host a part of a global missile defense shield. This new deal comes while American soldiers in hostile combat in Afghanistan and Iraq have warned that they are in desperate of vital equipment, from armored vehicles to body armor. "It is appalling that our troops are fighting a war in Humvees armored with scrap metal and plywood while the President promises to help modernize the military of another country," says Shane Cory, executive director of the Libertarian Party.

"Bush remembered Poland, but forgot America," says Cory, referring to Bush's famous quip from a 2004 Presidential debate where he reminded Sen. John Kerry that Poland was a key participant in the U.S. coalition in Iraq. "The President's duty as Commander-in-Chief is to lead his own military. It is an unmitigated failure of duty to put the military interests of another country above America's. We have soldiers dying everyday because of either outdated equipment, or no equipment at all, yet Bush is promising to modernize Poland's military?"

Since the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, soldiers and commanders in Iraq and Afghanistan have warned that they suffer from a severe lack of equipment. Some soldiers have resorted to scavenging for scrap metal in hopes of armoring ill-equipped Humvees. Additionally, U.S. Marines in combat are asking for their old armor vests back after the new vests were found to be impractical for combat. The Pentagon ordered 84,000 units of these new vests.

The Russians have proven throughout history they want Eastern Europe and history has proven Eastern Europe is always unable to stop them. However, we offer a shining beacon of hope to these nations.

Really? If so, why isn't Europe being presently occupied by Russia? The Soviets couldn't maintain their empire, and it collapsed.

Russia doesn't have the resources to invade and occupy eastern Europe, and has made no threats to do so.

I get it now.

Silly me - I thought you were serious!

(I'm tempted to let the joke go on - so I'm posting this in an unrelated thread. Pardon me, Truth Bringer. )

True, but Russia will of course not do anything because Eastern Europe is now apart of NATO, which brought down the Soviet Empire.

Siberia says otherwise. History also begs to differ. Look at the past 1000 years of Eastern European history and you'll see the Russians have been trying to occupy it the whole time!
