"04/12/06 CENTCOM: TWO MND-B SOLDIERS KILLED BY ROADSIDE BOMBS (confirmed)
Two Multi-National Division – Baghdad Soldiers were killed when their vehicle struck a roadside bomb south of Baghdad at approximately 9:20 a.m. April 12.

... What Multi-National???

How many other countries are with us now?

It seems over the past year 98.5% of the casualties have been US...

Is this just playing politics with a very serious situation?

1. Iraqi soldiers n/t

2. MND-B Soldiers

Sounds so much better then 2 US troops killed by roadside bomb. This is that good news they keep talking about!!!

3. According to the MND website...

There are apparently 26 countries in the coalition currently occupying Iraq. Here's a link to the page that lays out who's involved:

As you can see, we're talking about some heavy hitters here. I mean the El Salvadorian and Armenian armies must have the Iraquis crapping themselves.

Actually, many of the countries in the coalition don't actually have troops stationed in Iraq. They've just pledged a bit of money so they can get their name on the advertising copy and legitimise the US's claim that the coalition is truly international.

4. Ukraine pulled out, So did Poland. I don't think Italy is gonna be around

Now that Prodi has won. And President Tony seems to be looking for the way out too.
