Europe's performance is not entirely as shabby as I earlier posted.

Japan says it will provide $5 billion, including $3.5 billion in loans

Russia extended to Saddam Hussein so that he could advance his
mischief).

Saudi Arabia says $1 billion, most or all of it loans.

The European Union has upped its claim to $826 million. Dunno how much
of that is real, but couldn't it at least have matched the Saudis?


Stop whining.

We (germany) already payed your ****in 2nd Gulf War.

You, sir, are a fool. You have absolutely no idea of the costs
of OIF, or the fact that Germany was too cowardly to commit
troops, money, or any other form of support.

And juvenile. foul language only makes you look more idiotic.
