7. OH YEA, he said it! Did you hear Olberman and Matthews as that

as their very first question after Shrub's speech? NOBODY seems to know the answer either!

3. Maybe someone joined?

I didn't hear anything about it.

5. I didn't hear that statement, but if he was talking about the coalition,

he apparently overstated the number of countries (meaning he lied again).

According to this, GAO reports that as of May, 2007,25 countries participating, down from 33 in December, 2003. See pages 10 and 11.

I can't find any current figures on troop strength by country.

8. from the end of August 2007 - 25 countries

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1804128

and 33 if you count support, UN, NATO and non-MNF (non-combat) forces

11,685 total...

and then you have to know the breakdown of just what those 25 countries are contributing...
