BBC: Bulgaria to pull Iraq troops out
Bulgaria's parliament has approved a government plan to withdraw the country's 450 troops in Iraq by the end of the year.
The plan includes cutting back troops by 50 by June before the full withdrawal on 31 December.
The government had asked the parliament at the end of March to back a full troop withdrawal.
At least eight soldiers have been killed in Iraq. Polls show Bulgaria's involvement there is unpopular.

2. NOT Bulgaria!
My god, the coalition is crumbling. As goes Bulgaria, so goes the coalition. Those 450 troops that are probably doing the US Army's laundry, are the only thing between a peaceful Iraq and a country that lapses into total chaos. Oh, it's already IN total chaos. My mistake. Go on Bulgaria, get the heck out of there. And don't let the door hit you in the you know where on the way out. Betraying our grate pretzelnit like that. Shame on you. god will not look favorably upon your miserable country anymore. So sayeth god's own stooge on earth, george w bush.

5. There are plenty that choose to remain anonymous.
Of course, those anonymous nations only provide "moral" support.
