I didn't think we had one European ally except for the Brits and Spain.

Don't forget the Italians; they were quite supportive all during the pre-war U.N. mess and beyond. Quite a few smaller countries in eastern Europe took our side and kicked France in the teeth for its outrageous behavior as well.

Don't forget the Poles! Their GROM special forces unit did some great work near Basra during the opening stages of OIF. They were also among the first to pony up more troops for the post-op.

It's heartening to know that we're not as "alone" as the media says we are.

The Portugese too. The PM of Portugal was saying on Fox News yesterday that the world needs to remember that it is the TERRORISTS that are the enemies.. not President Bush. That President Bush is right to stand up to them. It was an amazing interview! They don't have a ton of troops over in Iraq.. but they have always been a supporter of us from the start.
