Can we name Bush's '36 nations?'
At the end of the Beeg Speech, Bush said 'We thank the 36 nations who have troops on the ground in Iraq and the many others who are helping that young democracy.'

For the life of me, I can't think of more than one country with troops on the ground in Iraq - us.

Can anyone help a brotha out? Who are these 36 nations??

9. Nope. They lie on purpose. And claim plausible deniability if called on it.
Just like the WMDs; truth does NOT matter.

28. Thanks for the link!
Wow. More non-US troops (10,329) have left Iraq than are currently there (10,085).

Another Bush lie. I'm shocked - shocked, I tell you.

10. That's easy...
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto to name just a few.


It is obvious after tonight's speech that the man is completely detached from reality, delusional and insane.

humanitarian aide, training, medicine, etc.

26. I heard that Romulas has pitched in, but we don't know if they are
really helping the coalition or the insurgents. Pesky Romulans are always making trouble, playing different groups off one another.

27. Is the Neighborhood of Make-Believe a nation?
They have a king. King Friday XIII. His wife- Queen Sara Saturday

Maybe he's been watching Mister Roger's Neighborhood and confusing it with McNeil-Lehrer.
