Foreign Minister Ben Bot said Jan. 14 the Netherlands would make no change in plans to withdraw its troops stationed in Iraq in mid-March, despite domestic political pressure to maintain Dutch forces in the troubled country.

Bot has repeatedly said the government would pull out its 1,350 soldiers in Iraq in March "barring some unforeseen event".

A number of the countries in the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq, including Italy, Hungary, Latvia, Poland and Ukraine, have indicated plans to withdraw or reduce their troops in the coming months.

2. Awwwwwwwww Hell..........................

there goes that bottled water they were contributing to the "coalition", not to mention the Tulips for the people of Iraq to throw at the soldiers. Their contribution will be greatly missed.
I guess since the "Mission Accomplished" aircraft carrier landing and the elections at the end of the month that will certainly go off without a hitch, there's no reason for them to stay.
