Talk:Basra
From Academic Kids
As of March 2003, Basra has been a battle site in the 2003 invasion of Iraq by a "coalition of the willing" led by the United States.
The above is incorrect. Or is at best a gross exaggeration. Only 4 of the "coalition of the willing" are part of the invading force. The remainder of the nearly four dozen "willing" nations merely provided support.
I think we should make a clear distinction between the coalition of the willing and the actually allied invaders. --Uncle Ed 23:58 Apr 2, 2003 (UTC)
- An earlier version said by the U.S.A. and the U.K. but someone found that unacceptable. -- Infrogmation
- If media reports are to be trusted (and I won't be the one to say they should be), it's pretty much exclusively UK forces laying seige to Basrah. DanKeshet 00:33 Apr 3, 2003 (UTC)
