On the recordFebruary 26, 2003
The reports I received today is the United States alone has in the gulf area 210,000 troops, plus Great Britain--I do not know how many they have there, but, in fact, if they need 240,000 troops, is what I am told, the United States is doing it all with the help of Great Britain. There are other countries saying they support us. Those countries, I repeat to the Senator, and I think she will agree, want some economic benefit to even say they support us, even though they are not sending any troops.
