5. Thanks for the Stats! Looks like South Korea and Australia are

most of what's left "intact" of any strength. Makes one wonder if Bush's "Surge" was to cover what Blair told him was coming...

I wonder where the South Koreans are serving in Iraq. Never hear anything about them.

4. No lie is too big or too bald faced for Condi not to tell

Rice says Iraq coalition 'remains intact'

Maybe the coalition 'tween Saudi Arabia and the Sunni rebels in Iraq
or

the Coalition between Iran and the Shi fighters.
