The argument is we went in alone and pissed off the
rest of the world.
When it's mention we weren't alone, they were bribed
or didn't offer many troops always comes in to play.
If we look at the countries that weren't part of this
coalition but were part of the 1st Gulf war you'll see
Saddam bribed many of them.
Saying the coalition only went in because they were
paid off is not fair.
Saying that helping out the US now will pay off in
some way in the future is common sense.
But to call it a bribe is saying all our allies are
bribed, and I'm sure some do.
