Are we talking Afghanistan or Iraq? 3 of the 5 countries you mention did not support the Iraq war.

Ok, looks like you're riled up, because you're starting to hit dog-hearing pitch. Anyway...

Let me get this straight, now you're saying that you're NOT saying we have no support?

First you said this:

Do you need a backup warning beeper for all that?

The point is, we had/have the support of Britain, Australia, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, Italy, Spain, Poland, Denmark, Hungary, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Romania, the Netherlands, Norway, El Salvador and the 17 other countries - and that's just in Iraq. Nevermind Afghanistan.

2. There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of animals Chuck Norris allows to live.
3. Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.
4. The chief export of Chuck Norris is Pain.

Name the other 17 countries. (that list is sure to draw laughs)

Basically, we had the support of about 10% of the world, and polls in most of those countries showed that the government went against the will of the people in giving their support.

The Nazis had the support of about as many countries during WWII.

So, in the UN other countries are important, but when they give us their support outside of the UN, they are insignificant? Interesting.

There you go again with your Nazi references... are you really Hitler?

I never said we had NO support, but a majority of the countries DID NOT support us, especially in the Iraq war , the whole reason for that statement was my answer to WHY we are disliked

The bat, balls, and gloves you could get away with. The pepper spray is a no-no. The hand gun.......just don't even think about it.

Most of the countries in the "coalition of the willing" are tiny little third world countries who were coerced into giving vocal support. All of the coalition countries together (besides the United States and Britain) contributed less than 2% of the total military force.




As far as my Nazi references, I make the reference because their invasion of Poland is the closest example of I can think of to our invasion of Iraq.

And here is a list of countries that supported Nazi Germany:

1. Italy
2. Japan
3. Spain
4. Yugoslavia
5. Finland
6. Thailand
7. Algeria
8. Etheopia
9. Hungary
10. Romania
11. Slovakia
12. Bulgaria
13. Albania
14. Manchukuo
15. Palestine
16. India

A similarly pathetic looking list....

And now I think it is time for this thread to die. Talk about thread drift.
