Internationalization of our duties in Iraq

One of the most brilliantly ironic moments in President Bush's recent State of the Union address was when he said the following:
"Some critics have said our duties in Iraq must be internationalized. This particular criticism is hard to explain to our partners in Britain, Australia, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, Italy, Spain, Poland, Denmark, Hungary, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Romania, the Netherlands, Norway, El Salvador, and the 17 other countries that have committed troops to Iraq."
. . . and during the standing ovation that followed, and looking quite disgruntled . . . Hillary Clinton stood up.
