Unilateral, My Ass

Michael Ubaldi created this image this morning:

Blue is in favor of intervention, yellow/orange is neutral, red is opposed.

Let’s not forget that the Germans (one of the red countries) are sending soldiers to help with NBC, and the French will switch sides if Iraq uses chemical weapons or if they think they can gain politically.

Even the House of Saud is in on the act:

Saudi Arabia has amassed a reserve of nearly 50 million barrels of oil that it plans to use to compensate for possible disruptions of Iraqi oil exports if war erupts, according to a senior Saudi official and industry experts who have been told about the supply buildup.

“We have about 50 million barrels, most of it in the country,” said the Saudi official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “We can tap into it immediately once there is a shortfall.”
