One of the funnier moments of the Bush/Kerry debates was when Bush reminded Kerry about Poland's involvement in Iraq.
Well, Poland is getting out of there.
WARSAW - Polish forces will be out of Iraq by the middle of October, Defence Minister Bogdan Klich confirmed in a radio interview Saturday.
Twenty-two Polish soldiers have died in Iraq since 2003, when Poland's then left-wing president deployed a force of 2,600 troops to Diwaniyah region in support of the US-led invasion that year.
Some 1,600 Polish troops are also deployed in Afghanistan, serving with NATO's 36,000-strong International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) which is battling a Taliban-led insurgency.
