BREAKING NEWS: 21 nations allow US war access
From correspondents in Washington
THE United States will have access to 21 countries in any war against Iraq, while 20 countries are committed to allowing overflights, US Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage has said.
He told the Senate Foreign Relations panel the US would have "full access to 21 countries" and additional countries were "under discussion".
"Twenty countries are fully committed, and three partially committed to overflights," he added.
He declined to give any further details of the level of international co-operation the United States would have if it decided to use military force to disarm Iraq.
But, with the US troop build-up in the Gulf reaching critical mass, Armitage underlined the administration's view that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein did not have much time left to disarm peacefully.

This can't be true. The Democrats are saying that we are rushing to war and going it alone. Why would they lie?

Terrible news. How can Bush continue to work unilaterally with all these countries signing on?

"Old Europe" indeed.
And what about those folks who've been faulting Bush for not building a coalition, as his father did?
W's approach impresses me more and more -- he quietly gets things done, and doesn't even toot his horn about it until he has to -- like when Daschle complains about him not doing what he's already done. Most times, he just lets things come out naturally, from non-WH sources. (I guess you might almost call it "all action, and no talk.")
It's stuff like this that allows W to play the "trust me" card in a way that Clinton was never able to do.

Thanks for this good news. Someone needs to send a copy to every rat traitor in the Senate with a message, "
Time to stop lying about us being alone against Iraq!" Of course this will be the lead story on ABCNNBCBS's nightly lies about what is happening as they present the latest and stale mantras of hate instead of news. Just like the NY SLIMES, DC COMPOST, ATLANT URINAL, LA SLIMES, SF GAYRHONICLE will have this in their headlines this afternoon and tomorrow in their fishwraps.

Thank you for this great program of yours.
It is very effective and heart warming for we Freepers to know that we are not alone.
The good countries and good people are with us.
Those who represent the dark side are with Uncle Soddomite and his Islamofacist Mass Murdering Thugs.
