#2 South Korea canceled plans to send troops to the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk, citing U.S. pressure to participate in "offensive operations," but still plans to send the forces to help rebuild the country, the Defense Ministry said Friday.

What this really means, is that they want to reap all the benefits (largesse from rebuilding) without assuming any of the risks. That's okay. Whatever U.S. forces that are stationed in South Korea can simply be shifted appropriately.... (ALL our forces shifted away from SK would be preferable)
