"SECRETARY POWELL: Well, one, we didn't put together just the coalition of the willing. A coalition is always a coalition of the willing. And this particular coalition of the willing now has 47 nations; 47 nations are openly members of the coalition, and have asked to be identified with this effort. And there are many other nations that for a variety of reasons don't want to be publicly identified, but are also a part of the coalition of the willing. "

they say this at the same time they blast kerry for not mentioning which foreign leaders (or 'more leaders' if u buy the mistranslation story) are on his side. can we at least have some rules here?


and then this, for fun: "In a morning meeting on Wednesday, Mr. Bremer warned the Iraqi leaders that they risked isolating themselves and their country if they continued to snub the United Nations."

make it stop. could things be weirder?
