Coalition of the shrinking.
“Iraq’s coalition of the willing is becoming an increasingly exclusive club. … Twenty-three countries remain in the U.S.-led coalition and the United Nations’ mission serving in and around Iraq, down from a high of 42 that joined the United States in the invasion or the postwar occupation of Iraq. More than half of those contributors have fewer than 150 troops, engineers or military trainers in the Iraq theater.”

November 17th, 2006 at 1:34 pmNearly all of the baby killing nations are symbolic terrorists — they provide a symbolic few monsters, leaving the Christofascist terrorists of Briton and the United States to rape, torture, and slaughter their way through innocent children.
God damn them all.

November 17th, 2006 at 1:37 pmIts kind of like the “Ten Little Indians” story. One by one they leave until there is only two left; US and its lapdog the UK.
November 17th, 2006 at 1:37 pmI am surprised ther are that many actually. But having 400 non-combat troops there is like saying “Yeah we don’t really believe we should be there but the US is giving us so much aid and money that we had to send some mechanics and cooks.”

This is actually a pretty sad state of events. It is terrible that we have wasted so much of out good will around the world on an unpopular war. This country will never be the same, especially in the eyes of the world community.
