Allie$ in Iraq:\r\n\r\nList of 'Willing' U.S. Allies Shrinks Steadily in Iraq\r\nNations Still There Toil in Relative Obscurity:\r\n\r\nPresident Bush once called it the &quot;coalition of the willing,&quot; the countries willing to fight alongside the United States in Iraq. The list topped off in mid-2004 at 32 countries; troop strength peaked in November that year at 25,595. The force has since shrunk to 26 countries and 11,755 troops, or about 7 percent of the 175,000-strong multinational force, according to mid-November figures provided by the U.S. military. \r\n\r\nFrom 2003 to early 2007, the United States spent $1.5 billion to support the Iraq contingents of 20 countries, the Government Accountability Office reported this year, with about two-thirds of the money devoted to Polish forces. Many nations value the equipment they get from the United States in Iraq and hope their loyalty will be rewarded in the future through help in joining international organizations, for instance. \r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2007\/12\/07\/AR2007120702585.html\r\n\r\nRespectfully,\r\ndf\r\n\r\n","author":"df","parent_id":212240,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2008-01-04 14:31:16","modified":"2008-01-04 14:31:16","fileurl":""},{"id":212262,"heading":"Thank you for posting this photo","article":"It cheers me up whenever I see signs of intelligent life on this continent, so thanks for the picture.","author":"KNP","parent_id":212240,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2008-01-04 21:11:36","modified":"2008-01-04 21:11:36","fileurl":""}]}
