ZAGREB, Croatia (Reuters) - Croatia drew back Tuesday from previous indications it would send troops to Iraq (news - web sites) and sign a deal with Washington exempting U.S. troops from prosecution by the International Criminal Court.

Speaking just before a visit to Washington, Foreign Minister Miomir Zuzul's comments represented a turnabout by the new government, which took office in December pledging to seek better ties with Washington.

The new stance was likely to disappoint President Bush (news - web sites)'s administration as it seeks to broaden a U.S.-led global anti-terror alliance. It follows Spain's decision after elections this month to pull its troops out of Iraq.

"In the current global relations, I do not think it would be good to consider (sending troops to Iraq) now. I think everyone is aware of that," Zuzul told Reuters.

Ah, the mighty "Coalition of the Willing"...

Little tip, Chimpy: Next time, you might want to get a few countries with actual resources on your side. Granted, they won't treat you like the Monkey-King you think you are, but life's tough.

4. " I think everyone is aware of that," Zuzul told Reuters.

Everyone except Fox News viewing Americans. The whole world is aware that Iraq invasion was a huge mistake but not the GOP. Noooooo they think the only Good Arab is a Dead Arab.
