Poland may withdraw Iraq troops

"Naturally, one may protest the reasons for the war action in Iraq. I personally think that today, Iraq without Saddam Hussein is a truly better Iraq than with Saddam Hussein," Kwasniewski told the European reporters.

"But naturally I also feel uncomfortable due to the fact that we were misled with the information on weapons of mass destruction," he said, according to a transcript released by the presidential press office.

Sadly, some here can't seem to grasp what Kwasniewski does...that you can believe Saddam deserved to be ousted but at the same time feel that you were misled about the WMD issue.

Nice selective and dishonest quoting, though it appears it was Salon's fault and not yours. You should probably try to get some news from a reputable source. Here's another quote from the same article:

"Everything suggests that pullout from Iraq may be possible after the stabilization mission is crowned with success and, in my assessment soon, it may be the start of 2005," Kwasniewski told RMF-FM radio.

Newsflash: Most countries are going to pull out from Iraq when the mission is over. That's the way it works.

Here are some more quotes, from the BBC:

He [Kwasniewski] refused to point the finger of blame at either the US or the UK, and insisted the decision to go to war had been the right one.

Other government officials told the BBC that Poland had not changed its policy on Iraq.
