Just to keep it real, other than our Iraqi effort, we have gotten excellent cooperation from Germany, France, and many other nations in the kind of anti-terrorism that is best done by police work in their own countries. There have been quite a few successful interceptions and captures.

Italy is an Iraq ally, along with Japan, Australia, Britain, and many other nations, a fact that, like a mirage, somehow seems to disappear for liberals if they look straight at it. For the Left, a "true coalition" apparently translates to France and Germany, and I'm still having trouble understanding that.

Say, as long as you're interviewing military men, how about the rest of Kerry's swift boat crew?
