"You Forgot Poland" is a legendary political catchphrase originating from the 2004 U.S. presidential debate between George W. Bush and John Kerry. When Kerry criticized the lack of international support for the invasion of Iraq, Bush retorted with the defensive line, "You forgot Poland," referring to one of the few countries that had contributed troops. The internet quickly latched onto the phrase as a humorous way to dismiss valid criticism with a trivial or non-sequitur counter-point. Over the years, it became an early viral sensation, used in image macros and videos to mock defensive or illogical arguments, solidifying its place in the hall of fame for political gaffes and internet culture.
