US 'understands' Italy's reasons for cutting troops in Iraq (AFP)
WASHINGTON (AFP) - The United States "understands" Italy's reasons for withdrawing troops from
Iraq, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said.
"We understand that this is a long-planned, phased withdrawal," he told reporters.
"It's a decision taken by the Italian government, and certainly we understand the reasons behind it."
"Certainly, we would encourage those states who are making contributions to the security forces to maintain those contributions.
"But, again, we respect the decision of sovereign countries to make the best decisions for them and for their people," he said.
Oops, better make that 2.
