re: So, you do not disagree that "the contributions were about the same size as the Polish troop contribution this second go-round."

"you did not provided any data so I had to take your word for it"

>>> Believe we agree here. (Google can easily confirm.) Around 18,000, I believe.

re: You merely argue that the French are fiscally capable of contributing more

"that is why US ended up paying 25% of UN bill, is not it?"

>>> Er, no. (UN bill --- a totally different topic from Iraq spending --- is based upon relative GNP.)

re: Where are the troops from Islamic nations

"how many Islamic nations are in NATO?"

>>> Not a NATO operation --- so not relevant.

"And while NATO membership may not be directly applicable to Gulf war it is most certainly applicable to afghanistan"

>>> Correct. In Afghanistan, I believe, the second largest contributor of troops is Germany.
