[quote]Foreign Minister Ingibjörg Sólrún GÃsladóttir has decided to remove an Icelandic Crisis Response Unit (ICRU) member from a NATO training program for the Iraqi army in Baghdad next month, causing disappointment among NATO leaders.
The ICRU member has been working in Baghdad for the last two years, primarily as a media representative, and will cease working there October 1, Morgunbladid reports.
John Craddock, the Supreme Allied Commander Europe for NATO and the US European Command, said at a press conference in Iceland yesterday that Iceland is an important and active NATO member and that he was disappointed with GÃsladóttir’s decision.
But Craddock added that he understands that NATO member nations have to make decisions according to their best interests and “estimate what they can do and what they cannot do, what they want to do and what they don’t.â€

Umm, doesn't Iceland's entire military consist of a fishery patrols unit? As there security is ensured by NATO.

Wouldn't surprise me if a foreign tank broke down over there and nobody could be arsed to remove or dismantle it.
