Poor Mr. Bush. He couldn't name a single country from the list of 48 members of the 'Coalition of the Willing'. He started to try to name some, but quickly retreated into more vagaries and generalities. Mr. Blair was too embarrassed to come to his aid. Presumably, Blair didn't want to reduce the news conference to laughter by having to name Afghanistan, The Marshall Islands, Pallau, etc. If it weren't so tragically sad, it would be funny.
