>>>The only allies missing are france and germany.<<<

That sounds good when you try to make Bush look good but it's nonsense........unfortunately. In Desert Storm, arab countries alone supplied 260,000 troops

AND......the US paid 12% of the cost compared to 95% of the cost of the Iraq war. But only France and Germany are missing so it's really no big deal...


"But its allies won't stand in line to fork over money for war this time around. During the 1991 invasion of Iraq, Washington paid 12 per cent, or 7 billion dollars, of the total cost. Saudi Arabia footed 29 per cent of the bill, while Kuwait helped with 26 per cent, Germany with 16 per cent, Japan with 10 per cent and Great Britain with 7 per cent of the cost."
