It is true, is it not, in the first gulf war there were 200,000 troops supplied by other countries? It is also true, is it not, that 90 percent of the cost of the war was borne by other countries? It is also true in this war that 90 percent of the costs or more are being borne by the United States, 90 percent of the casualties, 90 percent of the troops on the ground is the United States. There is a tremendous difference between the first gulf war and the second gulf war; is that true?
