Iceland to pull out of Iraq: One lone soldier.


From Thinkprogress:
In his Iraq speech last night, President Bush took a moment to thank “the 36 nations who have troops on the ground in Iraq.”
TPMmuckraker’s Spencer Ackerman has been counting coalition members with troops on the ground and has been able to find only 34 — many of whom have just a minor presence in Iraq. In his search, Ackerman discovered that the total is about to drop to 33: Next month, Iceland is pulling out its one lone soldier.

It shouldn't be hard for him to get a flight out there's always room for one more. One man from Iceland now that's a joke as Americans see 168.000 soldiers. No mention of how the UK left and wont be back. Japan his 500 soldiers that are leaving by the end of the year but their not fighters. Who else is leaving that the media isn't saying.
