Who are the 30 nations in the coalition of the whatever it is?

[ncteechur]

I know the ones I read on the casualty website but that don't add up to 30. Does anyone know the 30? Are there really 30? I mean when Kerry forgot Poland (which I understand is about to pull out), Bush was quick to correct him but he didn't mention the other 25 nations. I doubt * can even name the 30? He may not be able to name 30 states.

1. I certainly cannot mention all

but here are two for your consideration:

Afghanistan... yep the Afghanis are part of it

Costa Rica (who just demanded to be removed, did I mention they do not have an army?)

16. as john stewert of TDS said, costa rica is now on the do not call list

as to poland.....

"Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski, a key backer of the U.S.-led war in Iraq, said yesterday his country was "misled" by Bush administration claims about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq

"He added, "naturally I also feel uncomfortable due to the fact that we were misled with the information on weapons of mass destruction," according to a transcript supplied by the president's office. "We were taken for a ride."

As quoted in that far-left commie rag, the Washington Times.

8. Here's a link

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ops/iraq_orbat_coalition.htm

For a quick oversight, scroll down to the chart of "Countries Supporting Ops in Iraq".

It shows which countries are in the 'coalition', which have troops in Iraq, which have troops in Theater, and future force deployments.

13. I know...

...Great Britain, Australia, Poland, Afghanistan (and all the other individual little dictatorial 'stans nearby for another 6 or 7)...

[readmylips]

14. New Zealand pulled out too...

Costa Rica was never part of the coalition and they were annoyed to find that bush had placed their country on the list. Costa Rica only supplied humanitarian support for a short time and left.

Don't forget, the UK (Tony the Poodle) also reduced the amount of troops from 15K to 8K.
