Subject: Re: Kerry would of gone to Iraq too?
Yeah right. 30 countries, but how many troops were sent in. All but a
very few of those countries actually supplied troops. Of the following
countries named by Colin Powell as members of the coalition of the
willing, how many soldiers did they send?
Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Columbia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic,
El Salvador, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Honduras, Hungary,
Iceland, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Lithuania, Macedonia, the Marshall
Islands, Micronesia, Mongolia, Nicaragua, Palau, Rwanda, the Solomon
Islands, Slovakia, Tonga, Turkey Uganda, Ukraine, or Uzbekistan?
The answer is simple, none. Of the others only Australia and the UK
sent a significant number.
So much for the broad based coalition of the willing.
