1. Every time Kerry said we didn't have the world's support in the war,
Bush replied... "WHAT ABOUT POLAND?"

3. Kerry was taking * to task for not building an international coalition
to go into Iraq, as he promised he would.

Kerry: "When we went in (to Iraq), there were three countries: Great Britain, Australia and the United States.That's not a grand coalition. We can do better."

Bush: "Well, actually, you forgot Poland."

It reads kind of like dialogue from some cheesy TV situation comedy. It's also because Poland and the Polish people unfortunately were the butt of humor ("Polack jokes") in the US for many years in the 60s and 70s. Later than that, in some parts of the country.

7. You're right! Sounds like a Monty Python bit. Michael Palin plays *...
then they segue to the Dead Parrot skit, with Iraq as the parrot. "'E's not dead, 'e's PININ' "...

5. For some reason Poland was left off the list.
Bush always talks in those kid ways. He usually leaves you shaking your head in wonderment. He will say things like it is a tree you know green. ?????????????
