That's it, Al Qaeda might as well pack it up and go home. All 498 of Romania's troops are staying. Who cares? The US probably sends that many pregnant soldiers out of the country every year. I understand the whole 'Coalition of the Willing' thing, but either make meaningful contributions or go home so our facilities don't have to support you.

I think the Romanian contingent is a helpful member of the 'Fifteen non-US countries, led by Britain, make up the dwindling international contingent.'

Contrast the Romanian's behaviour with the British army's behaviour in their 'overwatch' of Basra. They refused to support the Iraqi army (an ally?) because they had made a 'deal' with the Shi'ite militia not to intervene. The US had to support the Iraqi army in the British sector because the British would not. Add to this the capitulation of the British Brigadier in Afghanistan, and you have an questionable ally 'leading' the international contingent.
