ROFLMAO - Allies ARE insignifigant

Or are you saying that Bush WOULDN'T have gone to war without these allies?

That our 'strategy', our 'tactics' might be different 'if' we did?

Not according to his own rhetoric, anyway.

But, let's just see, shall we?

7 allies (21%, rounded) have greater than 1% contribution; rounded, they are:

UK, 5%
Australia, 1%
Italy, 2%
Japan, 1%
Netherlands, 1%
Poland, 1%
Ukraine 1%

The rest fall into rounding error - but more exact figures are here.
