n the first debate of the United States Presidential election of 2004, John Kerry accused President Bush of failing to gain widespread international support for the 2003 Invasion of Iraq, saying "... when we went in, there were three countries: Great Britain, Australia and the United States. That's not a grand coalition. We can do better." Bush, who had used Poland earlier in the debate as an example of the international presence in Iraq, replied by saying "Well, actually, he forgot Poland."<2> Paraphrased as "You forgot Poland", the term became a popular catch phrase among Bush detractors, who saw it as a humorously petty rebuttal of Kerry's original point, since Bush had originally claimed that over 40 nations were supporting the invasion, when the number of nations that had contributed over 1,000 troops was far lower; therefore, they argued, even if Bush's statement was entirely accurate, four nations with significant troop numbers on the ground as opposed to three was still not "a grand coalition." The four countries that participated in the invasion were the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and Poland.<3>

1. We will never forget about Poland

We are getting ready to build a missile shield in the northern part of the country. We are only starting with this beautiful country.

Cheers!

2. That's surprising. I didn't realize there were so many other countries involved.

From the article:
"Polish special forces fought in the 2003 invasion, and the country went on to command an international coalition that at its peak had troops from more than 20 countries and oversaw five southern provinces."
