On NRO, James S. Robbins writes:
You have heard that the United States is prosecuting this war unilaterally. You probably know this is untrue from firsthand experience. Forty-five thousand British air, sea, and ground forces stand with you, as do 2,000 Australians. Other forces are being offered by Albania, Denmark, Latvia, Poland and Spain. WMD experts have been supplied by Ukraine, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, and Germany. Logistical support is coming from Bahrain, Croatia, Hungary, Italy, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. Other forms of support are coming from Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Colombia, El Salvador, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Iceland, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, the Philippines, Turkey, and Uzbekistan. Even the French, who have opposed the removal of Saddam Hussein beyond all reason or understanding, may choose to fight if the Iraqi regime resorts to the use of chemical or biological weapons. We may honor the French troops sent to fight by your side even as we question the motives and judgment of their political leaders. Saddam Hussein, by contrast, is truly alone. He will receive no open military support from any country in the world, and must set machine gun-armed secret police against his own people to prevent his violent overthrow.Posted by oscarjr at March 19, 2003 09:56 AM | TrackBack
