SocraticGadfly: Like rats deserting a sinking ship

Like rats deserting a sinking ship

The list of countries willing to stick around to assist in the ongoing “liberation” of Iraq keeps dwindling.

So, the White House has now scrapped “the coalition of the willing” and trimmed the original list of 45 countries down to 28.

We suggest some alternatives, such as:

1. The Support Group for Iraq Suckers
2. The Waiting List to Get Out of the Former Coalition of the Willing
3. Tony Blair and 27 Junior Lapdogs
4. Twenty-eight heads of state groomsmen for Condi Rice’s pending nuptials with George W. Bush
5. Dumb “new” Europe and some tagalongs
