> You mean the war that all the European countries participated in?

That's just factually incorrect. Most European countries did not take part in the invasion of Iraq. The US famously renamed French fries in protest.

The only ones that didn’t are France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Greece. The rest all did. This cohort changed its mind with Libya and Syria not too long after though.

> The US famously renamed French fries in protest.

The same French who very famously made Israel the nuclear-capable pariah state that it is today.

Oh come on, only Poland and the UK joined in the original invasion. The later post invasion involvement by some NATO members was also minimal, not to mention all the non NATO countries that had no involvement. Why make such absurdly fallacious and easily disproven statements?

Italy, Spain, Denmark, The Netherlands, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine, Norway, Portugal. Which have I missed?

Even Germany is a dumb one, really. The only reason why they didn't participate is because they legally weren't allowed to. What they did do, however, is deploy huge numbers to various US bases around the world so that the US can have a larger deployment.

The only absurdity here is the idea that the European retconning is believable.

		Yes it is I who am doing the retconning not the person claiming that tiny contingents of mostly non combat troops sent to Iraq after Bush declared "mission accomplished" in an effort to help clean up Americas mess and with a UN mandate constitutes involvement in the war by all European countries.

That's also quite incorrect. You're missing a lot of countries, like Austria, Switzerland, Ireland, Sweden, Finland, etc. etc.
