Coalition Members
Who are the current coalition members?
President Bush is assembling a Coalition that has already begun military
operations to disarm Iraq of its weapons of mass destruction, and enforce 17
UNSC resolutions.
The Coalition will also liberate the Iraqi people from one of the worst
tyrants and most brutal regimes on earth.
Contributions from Coalition member nations range from: direct military
participation, logistical and intelligence support, specialized
chemical/biological response teams, over-flight rights, humanitarian and
reconstruction aid, to political support.
Forty-eight countries are publicly committed to the Coalition, including:
Afghanistan
Albania
Angola
Australia
Azerbaijan
Bulgaria
Colombia
Costa Rica
Czech Republic
Denmark
Dominican Republic
El Salvador
Eritrea
Estonia
Ethiopia
Georgia
Honduras
Hungary
Iceland
Italy
Japan
Kuwait
Latvia
Lithuania
Macedonia
Marshall Islands
Micronesia
Mongolia
Netherlands
Nicaragua
Palau
Panama
Philippines
Poland
Portugal
Romania
Rwanda
Singapore
Slovakia
Solomon Islands
South Korea
Spain
Turkey
Uganda
Ukraine
United Kingdom
United States
Uzbekistan
This number is still growing, and it is no accident that many member nations
of the Coalition recently escaped from the boot of a tyrant or have felt the
scourge of terrorism. All Coalition member nations understand the threat
Saddam Hussein's weapons pose to the world and the devastation his regime
has wreaked on the Iraqi people.
* The population of Coalition countries is approximately 1.23 billion
people.
* Coalition countries have a combined GDP of approximately $22 trillion.
* Every major race, religion, ethnicity in the world is represented.
* The Coalition includes nations from every continent on the globe.
Hi,
Does someone know how many countries signed on (or were bribed) to back the
bush administration on the war? I am writing a song and the number would fit
nicely into it.
Thanks,
