How I built a better coalition than my daddy

[GabysPoppy]

" They are joined by over 20,000 service members from 29 other countries. Two multinational divisions, led by the British and the Poles, are serving alongside our forces -- and in order to share the burden more broadly, our commanders have requested a third multinational division to serve in Iraq." (excerpted from last night's dribble)

This part of the idiot's speech last night bothered me just a tad so I did some googling. Sorry I forgot the link but if I found it, you can too. Of the 20,000 "service members" from other countries, Great Britain is responsible for 11,000. (Thankyou Poodle Boy)

Subtraction being a rather easy mathmatical exercise, that means that 28 other nations supplied 9,000 troops. Dividing the remaining 9,000 troops by the remaining 28 nations (this time I needed my $5.00 calculator)It figures to 321.42857 soldiers per country.

So you see daddy, you were wrong when you said I wouldn't amount to nothing.

writer's note: I am in the middle of Al Franken's great new book and I must give him credit for this soliquoy. Were it not for Al, I would have recognized the sincerity and honesty that exuded last night as something other than the bovine defecation it actually was.
