Sweet, Sweet Irony
This Times of London report made my day:
Germans dismayed that Poles could command their troops
Germany has responded angrily to a proposal that its troops be deployed in northern Iraq under the command of Poland, one of the newest members of Nato.
The United States recommended that Poland take over the military administration of northern Iraq, in charge of peacekeeping duties. The force under its command would number about 7,000, including contingents from Nato members such as Romania, Bulgaria and possibly Germany.
Peter Struck, the German Defence Minister, said he would “look into” the proposal, but was clearly opposed.
