The US has lined up this impressive list of allies to prosecute the war in Iraq: Afghanistan, Albania, Australia, Azerbaijan, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Japan (post-conflict only), South Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, Uzbekistan. Aside from the Brits, the Aussies and the South Koreans, who among these have the reputation that our GUEST seems to be looking for? The Spanish, fer cryin out loud, haven't won anything since before theit armada met up with Sir Fracis Drake. Hell, they even needed help to win their own civil war! Some of these nations were barely in existence at the time of the last Gulf Go Around. Others have a history of fearsome prowess in war, only that it was 3 and a half millennia ago (Macedonia).
