I can't find a current link for the nations helping us in Iraq and their troop strength. Anyone know of one?

Google is amazingly helpful, ya_know. :D

This is a Geocities page, of course, so you consider it gospel truth at your own risk. But it seems to be well researched and footnoted.
*EDIT* Although Canada is not part of the Coalition of the Willing, I find it interesting to see that there ARE a tiny number of Canadian troops who assisted/are possibly still assisting in the war effort, apparently under some sort of exchange program with US troops.
*EDIT* There is a White House page with the countries in the Coalition (but no troop strengths) listed here:

Thanks. I wonder if there is anything more current?Quote:

Why do you actually ask techs ? - I think its pretty clear there were never enough troops for 'after' ..
