Coalition of the Conquered-(I don't remember seeing Iraq on the roster)
snip-

The Coalition of the Conquered...
In reply to a statement by John Edwards that "we've taken 90 percent of the coalition causalities"

''CHENEY: Well, Gwen, the 90 percent figure is just dead wrong. When you include the Iraqi security forces that have suffered casualties, as well as the allies, they‘ve taken almost 50 percent of the casualties in operations in Iraq, which leaves the U.S. with 50 percent, not 90 percent.'' From: 'Read the transcript of the Oct. 5 Cheney-Edwards debate' -Source

Let me get this straight, Iraq is now a member of the coalition formed to attack Iraq? I don't recall seeing Iraq on the coalition roster as we crossed the border into Iraq, do you? Do the women and children killed as collateral damage ALSO count as members of our ''coalition'' as well?

Dick Cheney is stating it’s no longer the ''coalition of the willing'' it's the ''coalition of the willing and of the conquered''.

Okay, I think I got it, it's just so hard to keep up with this continually ''revised history'' from the Bush Administration.
