As Last British Troops Leave Iraq, a Coalition Ends - NYTimes.com
The Iraqi Parliament recessed Monday and left a ream of undecided legislation behind — including an extension to an agreement that would allow the British military to keep a residual training force of 100 soldiers in Iraq. As a result, those troops will withdraw to Kuwait by Friday, according to a British diplomat, who declined to be identified in keeping with his government’s practice.
The other two small remnants of the coalition, the Romanians and Australians, will also be gone on Friday, if not before then.
