The tell in all of this is that the only other country joining us and barely, is the UK....
Ted-

It would have been nice if the Peruvian Air Force and the Portuguese had joined us. Maybe the German Air Force. As for the French, that is a really good joke. Who else would be a good candidate that did not join us?


Frank,

So we are down to only 4 allies of which one is definitely not, two don't have an airforce and one blows hot and call. Why not the Israelis? What about the Australians? Where were the Canadians?

If not militarily, where was the verbal support from these allies? So far the Isrealis have stated that they felt it was a good move. Where is the verbal support from our other allies?

Why did Jordan and Egypt condemn the move. They have supported us in the past when it came to Hussein.

It can't be that there was not enough time to talk to our allies. From all reports from the Pentagon, it wasn't like Hussein was preparing a major offensive where time was of the essence.

So what's the deal? Like Harry, are you upset because I am not behaving blindly patriotic......that whatever the President does has to be good for the country...no matter what.
