HeadlineApr 26, 2004

Secretary of State Colin Powell has acknowledged that Norway, the Netherlands and El Salvador will likely pull their troops from Iraq on June 30. Earlier this month, Spain, Honduras and the Dominican Republic announced they would pull out their troops. Meanwhile the BBC reports Britain is now considering sending 2,000 more troops to Iraq in part to make up for the 1,300 soldiers being pulled out by Spain. Britain currently has 7,500 troops in Iraq, roughly 17 times fewer troops than the U.S.
