I Will Never Tell Another Polish Joke
 
The Poles are tough people. They survived the back-to-back horrors of the Nazi's and the Iron Curtain. They are true allies to the US:
 
Poland will keep troops in Iraq at least through the end of 2005, but firmly intends to reduce its presence at the start of next year, the nation's prime minister said Sunday. Poland, which commands a 17-nation force in south-central Iraq, is required by a U.N. resolution to remain in Iraq until the end of 2005. But Polish leaders haven't determined what role their country will play after that, Prime Minister Marek Belka said during a visit to Camp Babylon, the force's headquarters in Iraq.

"The next shift will be much smaller," Belka said in comments broadcast on Polish television. "We are counting on Iraqi security forces getting stronger and stronger and taking more of our duties from us." He said Poland will start "thinking about changing the nature of our military presence" after 2005. "Maybe the international forces will be organized in a different way and maybe the international forces won't be needed anymore."
 
I think I'll change all the Polish jokes to French jokes.
