Coalition of the Willing? |
|
I have a friend that lives in one of the coalition countries. He is the son of a member of that country's military.
I asked this friend if his country was paying their own way in Iraq. He said no, and that the only country that is, is England.
I knew we had given "gifts" to countries to convince them to join us, but I always figured they would pay all or some of the costs for their part.
So it appears the coalition of the willing is the coalition of mercenaries.

ago..they had a Senate Committee interviewing Wolfowitz about the Iraq war. Wolfowitz was asked if any of the coalition members who were supposed to help with funding of the war had contributed any of what they had promised and he said "no, not yet".
