| Description | Portugal Might Withdraw Troops in Iraq
The Honolulu Advertiser
Portugal will consider pulling its peacekeeping police out of Iraq if the fighting there worsens. Portugal's conservative government, which backed the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, provided police after President Jorge Sampaio, a Socialist, refused to allow the deployment of troops without a mandate from the United Nations. He is the formal head of the armed forces. Most recently, the Philippines government announced this week that it was considering a pullout because of the mounting violence. |
