I thought you were a freeper. Obviously not. Serbia is contributing more troops than both those put together. You just didn't know where to look. ["1,000 Serbs Serving With U.S. Forces in Iraq Blic (Belgrade) ^ | 06/29/06 | M. Ivanovich Posted on 05/29/2006 5:52:50 AM PDT by Banat

["Bilateral Military Cooperation" "Serbia and the U.S. move into the future"
"Serbia and the United States have enjoyed good cooperation. And I look forward to the deepening of our defense relationship and indeed the deepening of our friendship." Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice at the signing of the SOFA with President Tadic in Washington. * Remarks by Secretary Rice and President Tadic (link)"
"..On September 7, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Serbian President Tadic signed a Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) that will permit regular military exchanges and exercises between the U.S. and Serbia. The SOFA also opens the door to a new partnership, the State Partnership Program (SPP), between the Serbian military and the Ohio State National Guard. During President Tadic's trip to the United States in September, he met with Ohio Governor Bob Taft and U.S. Senator George Voinovich to announce this new partnership. Sen. Voinovic said, “I believe that this partnership begins a new chapter in the relationship between the United States of America and Serbia.” In the words of General Blum, "Serbia is key to the future of democratic freedoms and principles in the Balkan region."] http://belgrade.usembassy.gov/feature/200611.html

There are no Serbian troops in either Iraq or Afghanistan.

Unfortunately, you're about as smart as all the other Serb boosters around here, which is to say not smart enough.
