Two U.S. Allies Leaving Iraq, More May Go
AP - Thu Dec 1, 4:20 PM ET
VIENNA, Austria - Two of America's allies in Iraq are withdrawing forces this month and a half-dozen others are debating possible pullouts or reductions, increasing pressure on Washington as calls mount to bring home U.S. troops. Bulgaria and Ukraine will begin withdrawing their combined 1,250 troops by mid-December. If Australia, Britain, Italy, Japan, Poland and South Korea reduce or recall their personnel, more than half of the non-American forces in Iraq could be gone by next summer.
Gloom. Doom. Tragedy. FAIRBANKS! Where IS that photo???

#1  Lets cut down on the CNN and BBC bad news fodder. Smart money would be to survey the entire lot and gauge their future intentions. You in mate, or are you buggering the pooch? Anyone who yawns, blinks, or looks at his Rolex should be mustered out immediately, your Gulf Air charter is waiting hot. We don't need slackers.
