5. Sounds good, but..
The floodgates to hell of already been opened. What I mean by that is that Iraq has now become a magnet for Al-Qaeda. Pourous borders have enabled the country to be flooded with "terrorists".

I'm sure there are a good number of Iraqi nationals who are engaged in the insurgency, on the other hand, there are God only knows how many Al-Qaeda inside Iraq.

Where at one time, before the US invasion, Iraq was Al-Qaeda free: It is now a rallying point, an "Alamo" if you will, a magnet for Al-Qaeda.

Even if Norway coordinates troops from other countries it won't matter. You have to remember these Al-Qaeda types are fighting a "Jihad", a religious war. They think this is a second Crusade. They aren't going to go limp once it's announced that Norway is now taking the position formerly occupied by the US.

It's worse than you think. Bush has f**ked this up royally.
