Conservative=========================

Why else would the commucrats want to destroy our relationship with Turkey? To make it harder for the troops to get supplies and have another ally helping out.

These figures are from the detractors to the war.

Still, the clearly want to show support in some way, even if it is small, they are willing to face the world's scorn (oh, wait, that's much of the world that's capable of SENDING troops! So maybe there isn't quite as much 'scorn' as people claim).

Of course, the only sites I saw that seemed to want to list our troop contingents or other military information seemed to be detractors.

The supporting sites don't seem to have any interest in posting any of the military information our enemies might be able to use.

Interesting, that.

It is accurate for the moment, while 160,000 american soldiers are deployed and approximately 5,000 Brits remain. Thus, your 32 American ='s to the one British = is spot-on.

When the Brits cut their commitment in half however soon they do it, youe will need to double the number of American ='s to keep it in scale with the British one.

In fairness, the entire remnant of the "Coalition" is probably over 2500 men, so they are more than halfway to an =, and so by rounding up, they get one only.

Yes, and the death toll looks like that, too. The whole world knows that the "coalition" is a myth, don't worry. You just have to convince some Americans.

I think that bar graph would look about the same for anything...we do the work, we pick up the tab. Maybe it's time to elect people who focus on what happens inside our borders, and we let the rest of the world fend for itself.
