re. "relieved to hear the other countries listed are standing firm" and and the Dominican Republic said their commitments to the force would not waver. Been away so I'm only now reading some of the older posts. Not sure of the timing of this one relative to various news dispatches - such as More allies pull out of Iraq THE Dominican Republic has decided to withdraw its 300 troops from Iraq in the wake of Spain's decision to pull out, defense secretary General Jose Miguel Soto Jimenez said. “The armed forces' troops in Iraq will leave in a few days, in the next week,” the general said after talks with President Hipolito Mejia. They had originally been scheduled to leave in July. The Dominican troops were attached to a Spanish-led brigade that is being withdrawn from Iraq. Honduras, which has 368 troops in the same brigade, announced Monday that they would also be withdrawn. Mejia told new Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero the Dominican troops would leave when their mission ends in July, but reversed himself after speaking with Honduran President Ricardo Maduro. The withdrawals come in the face of efforts by Washington to shore up its coalition in Iraq. Washington received a pledge of continued support from visiting Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini, but US officials said they were bracing for a possible withdrawal of Thailand's 400 troops in Iraq. theaustralian.news.com.au This, plus the Rat's post to you about Poland's doubts, should raise some questions about the Admin"s (and their propagandist allies in the media) statements concerning "their commitments to the force would not waver".
