- Go to Ukraine To Pull Out Of Iraq
Yes, DamonLeigh,
as extraordinary as it sounds, the Ukraine's 1600+ troops are the fourth largest contingent, according to either the Washington Post or the Reuters or whoever the hell's story I read. Not that you can beleive everything you read. With all the musical chairs being played in Iraq with our Coalition for hire (or Coalition of Coercion, if you prefer), the numbers and the players keep a-changin' all the time, so it's a little hard to keep up. To make matters worse, I was just relaying unverified information, and you know how much trouble that can get you into. Go ask the guys over at CBS News.

kingmi...
...he should have been inaugaurated by now, but his opponents on-going challenges through the courts are delaying things.
Did you see what the attempted poisoning did to his face?? He aged by about 30 years!!
And Saul - is the Ukraine really the forth largest contributor to Iraq? Seems extraordinary.

Since this was a special election, kingmi,
I'm sure they have moved his inaugural date, but maybe not. However, I don't know when he would have taken office had he won the runoff in November. Still, if the Kremlin and the current Ukrainian leaders have their say, President-elect Yushchenko will surely be invited to partake of some pre-inaugural soup. Hopefully, he's given up soup for life! (Pun unintended.)
