Salvadorean Daily Decries Presence in Iraq

San Salvador, Oct 28 (Prensa Latina) An editorial of La Prensa Grafica
daily questioned on Sunday the maintenance of Salvadorian troops in
Iraq, and criticised recent remarks on the issue by President Antonio
Saca.

What is a tiny country, which is a long way from Iraq, doing with 280
troops deployed there since 2003?, the daily wondered.

The pro-government paper criticised Saca's remarks, who spoke highly of
the presence of Salvadorian servicemen in Iraq.

Iraq has proved to be uncontrollable, the journal stressed after
recalling the deaths of five nationals in the Arab country.

Besides regretting that El Salvador remains as the only Latin American
nation with troops in Iraq in an obvious demonstration of its alliance
with Washington, the daily also questioned Saca's views about the
country's security and economy.

Saca will leave the government amid two impossible wars to win: one in
Iraq and the other in the Salvadorian streets. They are two wars which
have defined his term of office, La Prensa Grafica concluded.
