We had come so close to finding 34 of President Bush's 36 countries with troops in Iraq. But now it appears we won't be at 34 for long: next month, Iceland, part of the NATO mission to Iraq, is pulling out its one lone soldier. From the Iceland Review, last week:

Foreign Minister Ingibjörg Sólrún Gísladóttir has decided to remove an Icelandic Crisis Response Unit (ICRU) member from a NATO training program for the Iraqi army in Baghdad next month, causing disappointment among NATO leaders. ....

1. I wonder how long that soldier was forced to serve in Iraq

Was it punishment?

2. he was very tired and no longer willing

and it would appear that no one else in Iceland was willing either

3. Sounds like the "Coalition of the Willing" is down to 35.

bush will have to change his speech.

4. It's early in the day, yet.

If another couple of guys share a cab out of town, who knows how low the count might fall?
