Italy, the last major European ally in Iraq, abruptly ended their presence by withdrawing all remaining troops. Italy was responsible for the protection of an entire province with over 3000 troops which will now have to be patrolled by the Iraqi security forces (read that, "US troops").chip.
Another US soldier has gone missing in Baghdad following a deadly suicide bomb attack on 16 Sept. Have you heard anything about it? Seeing the huge hit in popular support for the war that was taken the last time a kidnapping was played out in the media, can you understand why you haven't?chip.
Tony Blair, the British Prime Minister and the Bush Administrations only European ally, has been ousted by his own party bosses. This as popular support for the Labor Party wanes, his aides resign, and the PM is attacked for possible constitutional misuse of his powers (hmm, sound familiar?). The timetable for his stepping down is not set, but is said to be around mid-2007. This would leave George Bush and flying solo amongst the world leaders. And we all know how well he does with that.chip.
