"Coalition of the Willing"

Disagreeable

Remember that pet phrase? In August of 2006 these 22 countries had troops in Iraq: Albania, Armenia, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, South Korea, and the United Kingdom.

These countries once supported us, but have now pulled out:
Nicaragua, Spain, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Philippines, Thailand, New Zealand, Tonga, Portugal, The Netherlands, Hungary, Singapore, Norway, Ukraine, Japan, and Italy.

Poland says they'll get out in 2007. The UK has taken out 1300 troops and say they plan to significantly reduce their force by the end of 2007. Blair is up for re-election. South Korea is reducing their troops by 1000 by the end of the year.

So who's left and what are they contributing to the program?

UK: 7,200, and reducing the number, South Korea: 2,300and pulling out 1,000 right now, Australia: 850, Poland: 900, Romania: 865, Denmark: 515, El Salvador: 380, Georgia: 300, Azerbaijan: 150, Bulgaria: 150, Latvia: 136, lbania: 120, Slovakia: 103, Czech Republic: 100, Mongolia: 100, Lithuania: 50, Armenia: 46, Bosnia & Herzegovina: 37, Estonia: 34, Macedonia: 33, Kazachstan: 29, Moldova: 12,


Pretty impressive, huh? :roll:

I don't really think this country has anything to complain about; after all this is Bush's war and Americans will have to pay for it, but next time you hear President Bush talking about how supportive our allies are in Iraq, remember these numbers.

There was a definite difference between the first and second gulf wars. (My brother was flying A-wacks in the first one).
