Stop calling it a "Coalition"
#1442709 - 04/09/03 11:15 AM (20 years, 11 months ago) |

It's just us, England, and a few guys from Australia in there for the most part. I don't even know why we would count the countries that aren't even fighting in this war part of our "Coalition." If anything, it's an Axis, but of course, that doesn't sound too good, since everyone knows about the "Axis of Evil." Of course, everyone knows this is really our war, and that Britain and Australia are just tagging along. So why don't they just say "U.S. forces" on the news instead of "Coalition forces"? Except in the few cases where they are actually referring to British or Australian troops.

I support the COALITION and what the COALITION stands for. In the future i hope this COALITION can rid the world of those dictators that would oppress its people.
ALL HAIL THE COALITION!!!!!!

What's wrong with calling it a Coalition? Does the dictionary state that a Coalition has to be a grouping of a specific number or higher of groups before it's a coalition?

What's wrong with it is that it gives the impression that there's whole big alliance of a bunch of countries against Iraq, when it's really just mainly us, plus a few Brits and Australians.

Yes the number has to be 4 or more- I propose we call it "The group of four random countries picked from a hat from different points on the globe for the point of killing Saddam in order to free the people of Iraq and kill everyone else that does not think people should be free". Okay I know its a little lengthy but we should call it this or maybe just coalition. Jesus WTF is your point?

What thats a quote that many people put in their post. That quote wasn't directed at anyone in particular. It was just a generic, randomly placed quote? I don't know how to put a quote in posts. When did that become illegal?

You know me Murex. I like all you guys. But calling a person an idiot or making sideways references to a person's intelligence is where it starts. This is one reason why S&P has a little less flaming. Well, that and the fact that no one is killing each other in the war between atheists and believers.

I wonder what percentage of the people in those 40 countries support this.

poland has spec ops up north and so does Spain providing just logistical support though. they are sitting in vans prolly stealing our technology. oh well who cares. Why does it matter the wars almost over. What difference does it make if we in stall a government that takes into account Iraqis from the various clans? It still a shit load better than Saddam no matter what your arguement is.

i don't think it should be called a coalition either. whether it's credit or blame that's being taken by the end of this whole thing, it should be given to the United States of America.
