Typical neocon loser......the only thing you're good at is calling people names who disagree with you.

Oh, btw, Honduras also is pulling its troops out of Iraq. Now that the emperor has no clothes, nobody wants anything to do with him.

Stupid is as stupid does!

Spain, Honduras pull out of Iraq

By Michael Georgy

A fledgling deal has been struck to end fighting in Iraq's Sunni guerrilla stronghold of Fallujah, as Spain began pulling its troops out of the country and Honduras announced it would do the same.

Meanwhile, US forces have given Iraqi mediators more time to resolve a standoff with a rebel Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr and his militia in the holy city of Najaf.

In blows for US-led forces in Iraq, Spain yesterday began withdrawing its 1,400 troops, and Honduras said it would follow suit, pulling out its 370 troops "in the shortest possible time".

US President George W Bush called new Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero to say he regretted Spain's pullout decision and warned Madrid against giving "false comfort to terrorists", White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.

Bush, campaigning for re-election in November, signalled the importance he attaches to Iraq by appointing the top US diplomat at the United Nations, John Negroponte, to be his ambassador to Baghdad when US administrator Paul Bremer stands down on June 30.
