At the height of the war we had about 1200 troops there.. Including 200 elite SAS troops. We now have around 850 troops, mainly air traffic control and a company of infantry from 2RAR and APCs from 2CAV for VIP protection.
The Iraq war will have some impact on the election but i dont believe it will be the deciding factor, unlike it probably would be in the U.S
