El
Salvador Deputies Favor Troops
in Iraq
Despite the disaster of the Iraq
occupation forces, El Salvador s
Legislative Assembly s Defense
Committee passed judgment Monday
for Salvadorian soldiers
continuance in the Arab nation
for another year.
This decision recognizes El
Salvador President Antonio Saca
s statements on Friday to send
more troops to Iraq in February.
Saca ordered members of his
party to approve his request,
ignoring recent suggestions of a
bipartisan US commission to the
White House to withdraw from
Iraq in the first quarter of
2008 at the latest, considering
the serious and worsening
situation there.
According to Colatino daily, the
committee determination will be
endorsed on Thursday in the
plenary session.
Since August 2003 El Salvador is
the only country in Latin
America with troops in Iraq.
