White House Scraps 'Coalition of the Willing' List

Fri Jan 21, 7:27 PM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House has scrapped its list of Iraq (news - web sites) allies known as the 45-member "coalition of the willing," which Washington used to back its argument that the 2003 invasion was a multilateral action, an official said on Friday.

The senior administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the White House replaced the coalition list with a smaller roster of 28 countries with troops in Iraq sometime after the June transfer of power to an interim Iraqi government.

The official could not say when or why the administration did away with the list of the coalition of the willing.

1. Can someone please enumerate the remaining members

and their troop levels?

2. Does that mean Kerry was right, and we're "going it alone"?

Regarding troop numbers, Britain has 9000, and the next most after that is only in the hundreds, IIRC.

4. We have been going it alone from the get-go in sheer numbers

the pathetic token troop count deployed by our "allies" were just window dressing for Fox viewers...

5. Yup

I want to know what their name is for that "smaller roster."
