Coalition getting MUCH less willing. Bulgarians want US troops to protect Bulgarian troops. SOFIA, April 7 (Reuters) - Bulgaria has asked the United States to send troops to reinforce Sofia's 450-strong battalion in the southern Iraqi city of Kerbala, where occupation soldiers are facing a radical Shi'ite uprising. Bulgarian chief of staff Nikola Kolev said the Bulgarian military base had come under heavy machinegun fire on Tuesday night but there were no casualties. Deputy Foreign Minister Ivan Petkov called ambassadors of the United States, Britain, Spain and Poland to the foreign ministry on Wednesday asking for back-up for Bulgarian soldiers in Iraq. "Bulgaria has demanded additional U.S. support for our contingent in Kerbala," Petkov told reporters after the meeting. "I firmly reassert our decision to continue our engagement in Iraq and fight the terror."... Bulgaria, which joined NATO this month, has been a staunch supporter of the U.S.-led military campaign which toppled Saddam Hussein and last year deployed around 450 troops to serve in the Polish-led multinational force in south-central Iraq.." alertnet.org
