SUBJECT: NO HELP FOR IRAQ FROM MADAGASCAR OR THE COMOROS
REF: SECSTATE 54925
Classified By: Ambassador James D. McGee for reasons 1.4 B & D
Madagascar and the Comoros do not presently have the military
capability to contribute troops to Iraq. The host
governments' will is not the primary problem. Both countries
have ill-equipped, poorly trained, and inexperienced military
forces relative to the challenges in a theatre such as Iraq.
