"Bush's Iraq Coalition Shrinking"

[GreenPartyVoter]

"Sometimes it's hard to know who your friends are - even if they're helping you fight a war. President Bush, who hopes to coax more Iraq support from European allies next week, used to boast that some 50 nations had joined the United States in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Today, a public listing is nowhere to be found."

1. This will be hilarious--each country he visits

removes itself from the list of possible supporters as soon as he leaves!

2. It's not just shrinking.....

it's finished. Most countries are packing up and leaving. I think by June 30, only England will be left.

4. I wouldn't be surprised if they

leave shortly after that. There's no reason to be there. They should just concentrate on getting a leader up and into office. Why haven't they done that yet? And the person is right: Bush doesn't talk anymore about those who are helping. Because there is nobody! :cry:

3. Maybe he can get Lichtenstein to send a troop. Perhaps, Andorra?

Or, maybe Luxembourg could send a squad of much needed ski instructors.
