In any case, you have yet to proove that we have no allies in agreement
with us over Iraq. That's the only way you could possibly be right when
you said that the simple difference between VietNam and Iraq is that in
VietNam we had allies that were in agreement with us. If you can't
proove that we have no allies in agreement with us over Iraq, then
you're just making up crap as usual.

Perhaps he's reacting subconsciously to Bush's repeated claims that we have
60 or 80 in the coalition. Don't ask for a specific number - it's close to
one of the numbers I mentioned and it's not important. In terms of large
material contribution (relative to the size of each contributor's POTENTIAL
contribution), the actual number is closer to 2. If you include any country
that's sent more than a dozen humans, it's what....maybe a dozen?

A dozen is quite a few times more than none. What he's reacting to is
the fact that he was wrong (yet again) and can't bring himself to admit
he misspoke. And instead of simply saying he misspoke, he'll continue
to drag himself down the rabbit hole of stupidity trying to defend a
statement that's obviously false. That's his MO.
