Don’t forget Lithuania.

By Nico Pitney on Feb 21st, 2007 at 10:49 am

Don’t forget Lithuania.

Lithuania is “seriously considering” withdrawing its 53 troops from Iraq, a Defense Ministry spokeswoman said Wednesday. “It was the first time that Lithuania, a staunch U.S. ally, indicated it would reduce its commitment in Iraq.”

    So is Denmark. All of a sudden, all at once. Perhaps they know something vis-a-vis Iran that we in the US don’t but probably should….

    more “good news and a sign of progress in Iraq.”

    hey, it worked for the UK…


  6. Manhattanite says:

    There is hope yet for the “coalition of the willing”. Fiji still has its 3 soldiers in place.

    Do we still have Poland?

    Of the 21 countries comprising the “Coalition of the Willing,” 9 countries supply 100 or fewer personnel. Another 4 countries have between 100 and 200 people stationed in Iraq. Other than the U.S., only 2 countries have greater than 1,000 troops in Iraq: Great Britian and South Korea.

    Perhaps their contingent will be replaced by the Grand Duchy of Fenwick?

    Surrender monkeys. Let’s bomb ‘em. /sarcasm off

    Vince, are there deranged homicidal practitioners of Islam in Lithuania that we should be wetting our pants about?


  15. Tom says:

    I’m beginning to understand GDumbya’s surge plan — he needs another 21,000 troops in Iraq just to stay even. What a putz.


  16. Tobey Tall says:

    1 Saddam hanged

    1 triilion Dollars spent and America in debt for 50 years
    Al Queda and Insurgency stronger then ever

    America hated worldwide

    Well done Bin Laden Mission complete

    LMAO!! For the win!


  18. Abby says:

    All these withdrawal timetables being proposed by the coalition of the willing…….don’t they just embolden the terrorists?

    I remember a time, almost a couple of hours ago, when the very mention of the word “timetable” was a treasonable offense. I know times change but this, is ridiculous.

    Not to worry, Andorra and San Marino will pick up the slack.

    Nope. But I hear that we have everything to fear from Estonia… See, Estonian is related to Turkish, which is the language of a Muslim country, etc… You know what I mean.

    Yeah, it means they want to kill Vince P.

    Everyone is surging the wrong way!!!


  23. Tobey Tall says:

    Britsh tanks are secretly fitted with 5 reverse gears and only 1 gear forward – Its just for every yard forward we take 5 back ????


  24. RUCerious says:

    Do they all have a crisis of confidence going on?
    How could they desert us in our hour of need.
    Obiwan, you are our last hope…
    Wait, wrong script..


  25. ForTruth says:

    Bush hates “withdrawls”, so much shaking, sweating, and puking. Delerium tremons for sure.


  26. theswan says:

    The sane are bailing. They don’t want to be there when george enhances his war on terror to include Iran.


  27. paul says:

    Indications of withdrawal prompt media to admit that Bush Administration had allies in war effort in Iraq.

    That’s convenient. I wonder what else we’ll learn after any remaining threat of victory in Iraq is gone.


  28. Gregor Samsa says:

    The amazingly shrinking coalition of the willing.


  29. the republic of stupidity says:

    What? Does this now mean Lituania is with the terrorists? The Fifth Wheel on the Axle of Evil?

    Does this mean Dubya will be invadin’ Lithuania when he has a little spare time between other, more pressing invasions?

    Threat of Victory? Is that anything like the threat of being greeted by flowers, and loved to death?

    BWAHAHAHA, you’re funny paul. When we feel threatened, or victory comes anywhere near, wake yourself, and us up – will you, skippy? Until then, renew your lithium prescription.


  31. Raymond Funamoto says:

    It is time all the countries who were participating with Bush’s invasion of Iraq to PULL OUT and leave him in there by himself, ALONE and BEWILDERED! Oh I forgot, that slimy four-eyed B.M. (Bowel Movement)John Howard of australia will be there supporting CHIMPya’s balls–only those two CRETINS will be slogging through the quagmire of Iraq!!!!! TURDS of a feather–F*CK TOGETHER!!!!!
