Every country can choose the way they would like to react on individual issues. That way, those in power, do a service to the people. There is no necessity for any country to be toeing the line of an other country on every issue. If so, why should USA rake up the issue of Japanese army's actions now, that too joining hands with China? USA sees everything to its advantage of economic activity, the large market now available in China. Any country thinking of its own interest, should that only be USA and not Britain.

They are removing less than 1600 of their 7000 troops. They were guarding the oil fields & have turned that duty over to the Iraqi Security Forces.
No defecting just compleing their part of the mission.

No, they have had a planned pull out as soon as the Iraqis in the areas could protect themselves,that happened so there was no need for 1500 troops to stay ,the other 5000 will stay in Iraq as backup.

No, those troops were planned to come out of Iraq for a while now, they are being surged into Afghanistan. So no they are not going against the US.

They've finished their job and are ready to hand over to the Iraqis. Don't forget the country does belong to the Iraqi people not the US.

If it were, so then perhaps I should rip my body in half and send each half to the two countries; I love them both.
