Push comes to shove among the Coalition.
Now that it seems as though the Iraqis have had enough, a couple of players in Bush's coalition are backing away from the whole explosive situation.
Australia was unlikely to send more troops to Iraq despite fresh outbreaks of violence, Prime Minister John Howard said yesterday.The US is considering sending rapid-response forces to Iraq to bolster troops after a surge in fighting between US forces and Shi'ite Muslim groups at the weekend.
But Mr Howard said in Auckland: "We don't have any plans to provide more. We have about 850 troops there and personnel there ... they'll stay there until the job is done."
I also read that Norway is leaving, but I haven't found a link.
Replies: somebody speaks up.
