Coalition of the Falling Apart

Peter Kirk of Associated Press on Hungary Will Withdraw Troops From Iraq:

Hungary will withdraw its 300 non-combat troops from Iraq by the end of March, the country's new prime minister said Wednesday, dealing a blow to the United States' effort to hold the Iraq multinational force together.

The former communist country, which joined the European Union in May, sent the troops as part of the U.S.-led coalition, but the government has been under mounting pressure at home to pull out.

Recent polls had shown that around 60 percent of Hungarians wanted an immediate withdrawal. Hungary has a transportation contingent of 300 troops in Iraq stationed in Hillah, south of Baghdad.

Uh-oh. I don't think they got the memo that this was a Divinely sanctioned military action.

I guess they go to Hell now.
