ROK to send 3,000 troops to Iraq

Or at least so sayeth the Korea Times (and a couple of other sources):

South Korea is likely to dispatch between 2,000 and 3,000 troops to Iraq, a high-level official of the National Security Council (NSC) said on Monday.
“We are considering a Polish-style division, as requested by the United States, which consisted of 2,350 troops,” the official said.
“The exact format and type of the envisioned troops has yet to be fixed but we may apply the Polish case at least in terms of size,” he said on condition of anonymity.
The NSC official said he was elaborating on the number of the troops to be sent to the Middle East nation as there has been growing public confusion due to exaggerated reports on the size of the planned dispatch.

No word on the combat troops yet, but I guess it’s only a matter of time - assuming Noh doesn’t choke.
