What is You Forgot Poland?
1.
A sad excuse for an arguement given by a incumbant President trying desperatly to escape his dismal record.
While a "You forgot
A "You forgot
Person A: "Secondly, 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."
Person B: "Well, actually, he forgot
Poland "
(Person B has failed to realize that
Poland was not actually in the group that "went in". Only in August of 2003 didPoland finally send troops, and it really had no effect anyway, merely a token, noncombat force.)

Reply to someone pointing out a dinky little detail that you didn't mention, but which is basically irrelevant, to demonstrate what a completely anal-retentive idiot you consider them to be. From the George W. Bush comment to Senator John Kerry in the 2004 American election debates.
You: "Of course, James Bond was played by Roger Moore, Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan."
Anal-Retentive Idiot: "You forgot George Lazenby."
You: "Yeah, well, you forgot Poland."

First said by George W Bush in one of the 2004 Preisidential debates.
Sen. John Kerry said that there were only three countries that participated in the invasion of Iraq - The United States, Britain and Australia.
President Bush correctly pointed out that John Kerry forgot Poland.
The Polish Special Forces unit GROM participated in the invasion of Iraq.
A larger contingint of Polish soldiers were sent to Iraq in August 2003, but GROM forces were in Iraq from the begining.
Kerry: Secondly, 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: Well, actually, he forgot Poland. And now there's 30 nations involved, standing side by side with our American troops.

Neglection of Poland contribution during the opening day of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Person A: "Secondly, 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."
Person B: "Well, actually, he forgot Poland"
(Person A has failed to realize that Polish Grupa Reagowania Operacyjno Mobilnego (Operational Mobile Response Group) participated in the first land forces strike. The port at Umm Qasr was one of the primary objectives during the initial phase of Operation Iraqi Freedom and was secured by GROM . Without it, the delivery of humanitarian aid and supplies in Iraq would be nearly impossible.

What you say to someone who repeatedly insists on using debunked facts to make the case that he actually has any sort of real platform to stand on.
Also useful to say to someone who consistently fails to see the big picture.
"Now, I know this has been disproven, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say we've shouldered 90% of the costs and casualties of the Iraq War..."
"You forgot Poland, you dumbass."

Started as a joke from the invasion of Iraq. Person A would say: "America went in with Britain and Australia." Person B would then say: "You forgot Poland." But Poland only sent a non-combat force in and it was months later. The phrase has become a cliche on Fark beginning Oct. 1, 2004
I have no example for this.

A stupid joke started by Kerry supporters.
During a debate Kerry said that the U.S only has support from Australia an the U.K in Iraq, and Bush pointed out "you forgot Poland". I don't see what is so funny. Poland coomands around 9,500 troops in Iraq (2,400 of which are Polish). Whoever said that poland only contributed "a few non-combat troops" is wrong. Also, I think the joke is on Kerry, since how could he not recognize Poland as an ally in Iraq?
Person A: You forgot Poland hahaha!
Person B: That's stupid, Poland commands 9,500 troops in Iraq you moron.
Person A:...
