"And, of course, it is worrisome that some of the troops [that are relieving U.S. troops in Najaf] come from countries like Honduras and El Salvador that have seen a lot of violence and governmental repression and even death squads in the past 20 years... Guatamala's government still includes notorious war criminals like Gen. Rios Montt, who was allowed to run for president by a court packed with his cronies last summer..... I don't think the US should be sending troops to Najaf from a country where one of the current presidential candidates murdered thousands while he was a military dictator, having made a coup. Is this what Bush meant by a "coalition of the willing?" What kind of message is that to send the Shiites of Iraq? This is embarrassing."
