US 'accepts' Polish withdrawal from Iraq

WARSAW: The United States has accepted Poland's plans to pull most of its 1700 troops from Iraq at the beginning of next year, Polish president Aleksander Kwasniewski said yesterday.


Poland, one of the US's biggest European allies in Iraq, runs a multi-national stabilisation zone south of Baghdad.

"The current (six-month troop) rotation in Iraq will be the last one. By the end of January we would like to pull the troops and replace them with smaller groups, which could for example help train the Iraqi army," Kwasniewski told public radio.

"(Our plans that) the shift ending its mission in January is the last one have been accepted by the allies and were the subject of talks between defence minister Jerzy Szmajdzinski and US secretary of defence Donald Rumsfeld (on July 19)."
