I thought Obama had sold Poland out to Russia?  It would thus be inappropriate for a high-ranking American to show up in Poland.  Low-ranking people are sent to low-ranking countries.

It had to happen. On one of the news reports I watched, the announcer told of this date in history. And at one point, of course, he had to bring up how the Poles attacked tanks with cavalry.   <_<

Did they really?

Whoa, I hadn't thought of that possibility.

That's cold.

I bet that's the way the russian are going to see it. I hope Obama knows what he is doing. Obama do know what happened on 01 SEP 39, right?

No just doing some Paradox forum re-enactments.  Man those were some of my favorite threads: the Poles frothing over WWII threads.

Somewhere a Polish nationalist died a little inside.

Looks like Goebbels won after all.

You can blame the Cold War for the persistence of this story.  Before the Poles emerged from the iron curtain to be flabbergasted by the story we all just assumed it was true.

I've often thought that Biden offers an incredible benefit as VP.  When he says something about foreign policy I imagine the Embassies and Chancelleries of the world go into overdrive trying to work out whether it's the administration floating something, a Freudian slip representing real policy or just Biden being Biden.  It must be useful to have someone like that around.
Unfortunately, the problem is that while Obama shares a lot of traits with God, immortality is not one of them.

Bullshit. I was replying to this thread and my windows closed.

A sign.

Or maybe i am too drunk. I can't tell, with Iron Maiden playing on my Itunes.

A somber remembrance.

Putin and Merkel will be there. US is sending National Security Adviser James Jones? That choice seems a bit odd. I do wish the US saw fit to send at least a different position, perhaps a high level State dept, preferably Sec State Hillary Clinton or her deputy, or the VP Biden.

For the record the low level of the US representation has been duly noted here and taken offense about. Not that I care. :P
