We had a coalition of over 40 countries. While we were the big dog in
the pond, we were hardly alone. In fact, had it not been for France
Genrmany and Russia, the UN would likely have gone along with us.

A coalition could be considered:
1) Other countries sending soldiers.
2) Other countries sending any other kind of material assistance.

Spain sent a hospital ship, which I understand made a great contribution.
The British sent troops. Recently, Poland and Ukraine have assisted with
security.

A coalition is NOT:
1) 40 countries whose sole contribution was an agreement not to publicly
criticize our plan, in return for which they'd get some sort of financial
aid, or not have existing aid reduced or withdrawn.

So, where does the number 40 come from, Dave? What is YOUR definition of a
"coalition"?

Why, it would be identical with the way the Bush Administration
describes it, of course. Dave is a mindless supporter of and beliver in
the Bush Administration.
