They say that Norway had 20 staff officers, most of whom were working on training Iraqi soldiers. I'm not sure why that would be objectionable.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Reason to pull them out: A new leftwing government?!!
Probably part of the deal to get the lefties in the government."The Parthians are dead, the Britons conquered; Romans, play on!"

and yep this is a concession to the socialist party. they're pretty anti-american. if they got their way the would leave nato and abolish the monarchy, so this is nothing really.
Stoltenberg (social democrat) is quite moderate and a reasonable fellow though, he also told Bush that the close cooperation in Nato and Afghanistan and so on will continue.CSPAComment

Thorvald Stoltenberg? If it was him, I remember the name... he had some role in Yugoslavian wars as negotiator or something.
Why Danes are different? Because they got pretty involved, unlike everyone else.Comment

Our primeminister just back from the UN-thingie. He and the pres. of Iraq both said that they would'nt put an end date to our involvement 'cause that just would make the terrorist feel that have a date-line to work after.

We had a thread about Danish involvement in Iraq some time back. BlackCat and Winston explained it but I still found it strange. Why Denmark yes and Sweden, Finland etc. no?Comment
