Iraq-War: "Officially, 84 US Military Deaths in Iraq from 2 through 28 May, 2005 - Official Total of 1,747 US Dead to date (and rising).
U.S. Military Personnel who died in German hospitals or en route to German hospitals have not previously been counted. They total about 6,210 as of 1 January, 2005. The ongoing, underreporting of the dead in Iraq, is not accurate. The DoD is deliberately reducing the figures. A review of many foreign news sites show that actual deaths are far higher than the newly reduced ones. Iraqi civilian casualties are never reported but International Red Cross, Red Crescent and UN figures indicate that as of 1 January 2005, the numbers are just under 100,000."

ICH: "103 members of the National Assembly (the Parliament of Iraq) have demanded the adoption of a resolution cancelling the request made by the Government to the UN Security Council to extend the presence of multinational forces, and urging the Government to put 'a clear plan for army building and a timetable for the withdrawal of occupation troops' from Iraq.
MyTelus: "Italy plans to begin withdrawing some of its troops from Iraq in September, Premier Silvio Berlusconi said Friday."
Reuters: "Uzbekistan has suggested the United States should pay for the use of an airbase set up to support operations in Afghanistan if Washington wants to keep its presence in the region.
The Uzbek Foreign Ministry's statement followed calls earlier in the week by it and other Central Asian countries for U.S. troops to fix a date for their departure from their bases."
