2. Other than US & UK, there never really was any "coalition" to begin with.
And none of bush's "coalition" nations ever had populations that supported bush's invasion of Iraq.

The only difference now is that bush & the Faux Moos State Media won't be as easily able to con & dupe & trick & fool and lie to the rightwingnut rubes in America about how "the world supports bush's war".

4. Since there were no WMD's,
the current administration is grasping at straws, trying to find a way out of this mess.

5. Hence,
Social Security, the greatest distraction that they could come up with. If other real issues come up, they'll mention other "issues," such as gay marriage.

6. Other countries are developing timetables for pulling out
They are making it known that their presence in Iraq is not intended to be permanent. By this time next year, it will be just the US, Britain and Australia with troops in Iraq.
