Almost all of these were sent in as advisors and did not serve any combat purposes in the first place.
The bottom line is - there was no Coalition of the Willing. Now England is cutting and running.
Good for them.
TROOPS OUT NOW!

Well, the skeptic in me wants to say 'all the smart ones!', however, IF we don't stay until the job is done, all hell is going to break loose when we leave. Part of me wants to say "They're just going to go back to killing each other when we do leave, that's all they've done for thousands of years." But I remember Viet Nam and how our guys were not allowed to complete their jobs..they were just used by generals in the war room, like chess pieces, moved around from place to place, never being able to do what needed to done... to fight the war to win. If our guys in Iraq didn't have their hands tied, so to speak, they'd have completed their mission and been home three years ago. I speak from the experience of having a family member there for three tours.
