Iraqi Government and Prime Minister Stephen Harper

Prime Minister Stephen Harper: The 10-nation effort which also includes Britain, Turkey, Australia, Italy, Poland and Denmark was announced in the final hours of two-day summit in Wales, but still hinges on the approval of the Iraqi government, according to The Star. Canadas initial deployment will be small and limited in scope some 50 to 100 elite soldiers tasked to provide critical advice to forces in northern Iraq as they continue to hold back the terrorist advance, Prime Minister Stephen Harper told reporters and Canada, France and Germany three countries that famously said no to the U.S.-led war in Iraq 11 years ago have signed up for the distant aftermath as part of a core coalition against Islamic extremists wreaking havoc in territory once controlled by Saddam Hussein. The coalition is expected to expand further as Washington works to enlist Mideast regional players in the effort to degrade and ultimately destroy the Islamic State, said President Barack Obama.
