Thai troops withdraw from Iraq
BANGKOK, Thailand (AP)


Thailand's troops prepared to withdrawal from Iraq on Friday after completing a yearlong humanitarian mission in the war-torn country, officials said.

Thailand withdrew about 80 soldiers and some equipment from Iraq earlier this month, and the rest of the contingent of 443 troops will join them at Camp Virginia in Kuwait, said Maj. Gen. Palangoon Kraharn. ..

Two Thai soldiers were killed during an insurgent attack last December at Camp Lima, about 100 kilometers (60 miles) south of Baghdad.

Je suis desole que mon president soit un idiot.
Je n'ai vote pour lui.

4. So what were they bribed with?
Did asshole * promise to increase imports of more frozen shrimp and canned salmon?

Was it worth the deaths of those two soldiers?
