<TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Honduras plans to follow the lead of Spain and withdraw its 370 troops from Iraq by the end of June, Defence Secretary Federico Breve said today.

The decision marked an about-face from a day earlier when President Ricardo Maduro said Honduran forces would stay.

Today's announcement "coincides with the decision of the prime minister-elect of the Spanish government," Breve said.

2. the other forces involved in the "coalition of the billing" won't be
pulled out because "WE" are paying for them to be there...and lord knows what else the governments got for going to Iraq in the first place.

3. About this whole "the terraist won, Spain is leaving" crap...
Isn't June 30th the US MANDATED deadline for handing over the Iraq government to the Council of Those Waiting to Start a Civil War? Isn't there a plan currently for massive US troop rotation/reduction for that same time? Wasn't the "Mission Accomplished" May 1st? What the fuck are anyone doing there?

WHAT A BUNCH OF SHITTT!!!!!! I swear I won't make it through another 4 years of this shit.
