Coalition Members 3/20/03

Who are the current coalition members?

President Bush is assembling a Coalition that has already begun military operations to disarm Iraq of its weapons of mass destruction, and enforce 17 UNSC resolutions.

The Coalition will also liberate the Iraqi people from one of the worst tyrants and most brutal regimes on earth.

Contributions from Coalition member nations range from: direct military participation, logistical and intelligence support, specialized chemical/biological response teams, over-flight rights, humanitarian and reconstruction aid, to political support.

As of 5 PM March 20, 2003, more than 44 countries were publicly committed to the Coalition, including:

Afghanistan
Angola
Albania
Australia
Azerbaijan
Bulgaria
Colombia
Czech Republic
Denmark
Dominican Republic

Eritrea

Ethiopia

Philippines
Poland

Singapore

This number is still growing, and it is no accident that many member nations of the Coalition recently escaped from the boot of a tyrant or have felt the scourge of terrorism. All Coalition member nations understand the threat Saddam Hussein's weapons pose to the world and the devastation his regime has wreaked on the Iraqi people.

- The population of Coalition countries is approximately 1.18 billion people.
- Coalition countries have a combined GDP of approximately $21.7 trillion.
- Every major race, religion, ethnicity in the world is represented.
- The Coalition includes nations from every continent on the globe.
