“That’s a heck of coalition there Brownie.” Hurricane Katrina paraphrase.

Nil?

[Sacajaweau]

Apparently he missed a couple of newspapers. Probably golfing and the dog ate it.

[Flycatcher]

Double goose egg has committed too.

There is a coalition. Obama was kicked out last fall.

Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE.... for action in Syria. Turkey was originally a member but I don’t know the attitude of the Turks at present.

These nations are in agreement......Obama can not be trusted to do anything much less prosecute a war. He must be shunned.

Since the ISIS invasion of Iraq that coalition is now forced to rethink the operational mission.

[Jim Noble]

Yawn. I don’t care if we have allies, in fact, most of our “allies” since 9/11 have really been frenemies.

[keat]

There is a coalition.

Turks are out, confirmed. Arab countries pledging only to "do their share", no direct military assistance.

News here.

[Dagnabitt]

Marshall Islands reporting for duty!

[keat]

Breaking News, John Kerry just announced a firm commitment from the Duchy of Grand Fenwick!

[Gator113]

What?? No list of JV Obama’s imaginary friends??

[balk]

Canada, 60 Special Forces from Petawawa. Causing a bit of a stink with our lefty opposition and media.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

That would include the Merry Marvel Marching Society from Chicago...

[keat]

Can't confirm Canada. Maybe in Iraq but as far as Syria goes:

Late Wednesday, a spokesman for Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Canada was committed to addressing this “barbaric terrorist threat,” with humanitarian aid and military advisors in Iraq, but said the commitment would be re-evaluated after 30 days and would not expand to Syria.

Kerry is claiming to have garnered the support of 10 middle east countries including Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Qatar - for a coalition to fight the Sunni militants that have seized swathes of Iraq and Syria.

But, as the announcement does not specifically state that any of these countries will directly take part in military action, I assume they won't.

Failure continues.

From China, we have Susan Rice failing to get China on board.

From another source, it may be partly because they were expecting Condoleezza, lol.
