I love this revisionism, just because they don't hop in line behind the USA all the time, just because they back out of one war, they must be weak. It's not that the USA failed to convince them that they had enough to gain from fighting in Iraq, no no, its because they were, and apparently always have been, too afraid to fight a war.
