    John,

    I would suggest this link for a more accurate picture of the coalition. Note:

    In the future this is it:

    Albania ~120[April 2005]
    Czech Republic 10
    Australia ~1,400 (+450)
    United Kingdom ~10,500 (?    )

    Countries which had troops in or supported operations in Iraq at one point but have pulled out since: Nicaragua (Feb. 2004); Spain (late-Apr. 2004); Dominican Republic (early-May 2004); Honduras (late-May 2004); Philippines (~Jul. 19, 2004); Thailand (late-Aug. 2004); New Zealand (late Sep. 2004); Tonga (mid-Dec. 2004) Hungary (end Dec. 2004); Portugal (mid-Feb. 2005); Moldova (Feb. 2005)

    Countries planning to withdraw from Iraq: Poland (starting Jan.05 and completed by end.05(?)); the Netherlands (Mar. 05); Bulgaria (end of 2005, depending on circumstances); Ukraine (entire contingent, in stages until mid-October 2005), Italy (Sept. 2005)

    Countries which have reduced or are planning to reduce their troop commitment: Ukraine (-200 during Fall04 rotation); Moldova (reduced contingent to 12 around mid-2004); Norway (reduced from ~150 to 10 late-Jun.04, early Jul.04); Bulgaria (-50, Dec.04); Poland (-700, Feb.05).

    Sure wish that departed, eBay-bought Coalition of the Bribed would move into Germany and Kosovo to relieve our forces of the onerous, quagmire of occupation that they’ve endured for somewhere between 7 and 60 years.

    Maybe they could do the nation-building right.

    Cordially…

    No kidding, although you’ve got to keep an eye on Europe. Centuries of war in their blood, you know.
