Those "Coalition" Countries in Iraq

[Linkster]

Well - Bush claimed 36 or so nations that have troops on the ground in Iraq - and as usual he lied to the American people again when he said "We thank the 36 nations who have troops on the ground in Iraq".
maybe 2 years ago - but not anymore as he touted in his speech:
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ops/iraq_orbat_coalition.htm
Has a good chart - but to simplify things:

Moldova still has their 12, Kazakhstan the 29, Macedonia the 33 - however -

18 of the countries he included have already withdrawn all of their troops(between 2004 and 2005):
Fiji
Hungary
Nicaragua
Spain
Dominican Republic
Honduras
Philippines
Thailand
New Zealand
Tonga
Portugal
Singapore
Norway
Ukraine
The Netherlands
Japan
Italy
Slovakia

So what your saying is, America is not alone in the fight against al qaida and Islamic terrorism.

That's great!

Thanks Linkster.

Sometime in the near future I'd like to hear your model of what that fight is all about.
