2 to what SS said.
And - sadly, Slave -- your list is dated. Rock-ribbed ally Costa Rica
had to withdraw from the coalition.
- Costa Rica asked the United States to remove it from a list of Iraq coalition partners Thursday, after the Constitutional Court ruled inclusion on the list violated the country's pacifist principles.
Foreign Minister Roberto Tovar said a diplomatic note had been delivered to the U.S. embassy in San Jose Thursday.
"The court has ordered me to get the country's name off that list, and that's what I'm doing," he said.
Great. We've gone from leader of the free world to being an administrative annoyance!
Well, at least this list of allies wasn't merely bureacratic bullshit. Will CR be removing its massive contingent of troops anytime soon as a result?
Uh, no.
- Tom Casey, a State Department spokesman, said Costa Rica's membership in the coalition was an expression of the country's opposition to terrorism, and noted that Costa Rica provided neither troops nor economic assistance for Iraq's reconstruction.
