Bush fib- no. 3

Amidst all the distorted and misleading remarks made by President Bush in his speech on Iraq tonight, there is one statement which is clearly, unambiguously, inaccurate. I find it difficult to believe the President would be unaware his comment is false, though if we later find that he has fired the individual who placed this inaccuracy in his speech, I will retract my assertion that it is a falsehood. Approximately 80% through his statement, Mr. Bush said "we thank the 36 nations who have troops on the ground in Iraq and the many others who are helping that young democracy."

According to globalsecurity.org, however, as of February, 2007 "there were 21 non-U.S. military forces committing armed forces to the coalition in Iraq." This is not an inconsequential error, and probably not unintentional.
