Bulgarian has a whopping 450 troops in Iraq. They are on rotation, so the current batch has only been in Iraq for a short time. Of the previous batch of 450 troops, 60 were sent home early. Of the new batch, 15 have already been sent home for "stress." At least 25 more have filed requests to be sent home. The commander is demanding that the US troops re-enforce their base, or they will re-locate to a safer area outside of the city.
Of our vast Coalition, most countries supply fewer than 500 troops a piece. Some fewer than 200. Many of them are only sending non-combat troops.
The Pentagon/Media have set up Poland to look like a major participant, claiming that a Polish Division controls the Polish "zone." This is a real joke, because only [B]2,400 of the 9,000 are from Poland[/B]. We have Americans serving under Polish commanders just so the Pentagon can play make believe with the American public!

Its hard to argue the point, but until they're willing to stage a coup (soon please!!!), they sort of have to obey whatever goofball orders come their way....
