Anyone have a link to the Coalition in Iraq and their troop strength?
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. 
http://www.geocities.com/pwhce/willing.html
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:

Those numbers are pretty good, we(uk) now have approximately 10,200 troops 'now' but we sent some more & there's unit change overs & 'whatnot' to take account of - by the end of the week about 800 should come home so that take's us back to around 9000 again ..
I'd imagine all forces have this kind of 'flex', all in all roughly 150,000 troops - no ones announced any major re-enforcements, & with 'handover' I don't think any are anticipated unless they are UN based, but that'd probably mean some usa & uk scaling down of forces ..
Why do you actually ask techs ? - I think its pretty clear there were never enough troops for 'after' ..
