Well, I do believe the President made it quite clear, "you are either with us or with the terrorists". What more did NZ need to hear?

Actually, Helen came out with the offer of troops and intelligence only 3 days after the attack and well before the 21st, which is the date on the posted article. She is continuing the New Zealand tradition of supporting the US during times of conflict - New Zealand is one of only two countries that has fought along side the US in every war or conflict that the US has been involved in during the last last century.
