White House "Scraps" Coalition of the Willing List......................

[ClintonTyree]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House has scrapped its list of Iraq (news - web sites) allies known as the 45-member "coalition of the willing," which Washington used to back its argument that the 2003 invasion was a multilateral action, an official said on Friday.

The senior administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the White House replaced the coalition list with a smaller roster of 28 countries with troops in Iraq sometime after the June transfer of power to an interim Iraqi government.


The official could not say when or why the administration did away with the list of the coalition of the willing.


The coalition, unveiled on the eve of the invasion, consisted of 30 countries that publicly offered support for the United States and another 15 that did not want to be named as part of the group.

The phoney coalition of the billing is now officially a farce. Of course we knew it all along, but the bushbots insisted that this was an honest to gooness coalition. Haven't people picked up on a pattern of this administration saying things that aren't true, insisting that they are, and later contradicting themselves proving them liars? My god America, WAKE THE HELL UP!
