Poles apart
More support from our allies for Bush’s Iraq “strategy:”
TALLBERG, Sweden (AP) - Poland’s prime minister said Monday that postwar nation-building efforts in Iraq have “failed totally,” but expressed hope that the country’s different religious groups can work together to build an independent nation.
Prime Minister Marek Belka, whose country has been a close U.S. ally since the invasion of Iraq, said the United States and its allies made a mistake by basing its postwar plan for Iraq on the same model used for Germany after World War II.
“It failed totally,” Belka said at a panel discussion on nation-building at an international forum in Sweden. “Many mistakes, major mistakes, have been committed.”
Belka apparently felt it unnecessary to say who made them.
