It's apparent that the Azores summit is not about how to get a second resolution passed at the UN. There's no reason why the UN diplomats couldn't discuss that in New York.

This is more about three leaders issuing a statement at the conclusion of the summit.

My question is why include Spain, and not Bulgaria? Both are on the Security Council, and Spain isn't sending troops (although it does have ships in the Gulf).

Or, if this is an announcement of the Coalition of the Willing, why not bring Australia to the summit?

This summit is a big deal. No doubt about that. I'm looking forward to seeing the results.

IIRC Spain and the U.K. co-sponsored the 18th resolution. That would seem to be the reason for this mix of leaders.

My question, is Bulgaria sending troops? Not that I recall, but I think they may have offered some basing.
