The Obama administration's international coalition for Syrian intervention is only half the size of the Bush administration's 2003 "coalition of the willing."
The White House released a list on Monday of 25 countries that signed a treaty calling for military intervention in Syria against the Assad regime for its use of chemical weapons. Most of the countries who signed the joint statement are still debating whether they will send their own troops to Syria.
The Bush administration released a similar statement in March 2003 listing 49 countries that supported the United States' efforts to "disarm Iraq of its weapons of mass destruction" and "liberate the Iraqi people from one of the worst tyrants and most brutal regimes on earth."
The United Kingdom, one of America's most prominent allies in Iraq, voted against sending British military forces into Syria, although Prime Minister David Cameron does support the U.S. military's intervention. Other supporters of Syrian intervention who allied with the United States in Iraq include Australia, Italy, Hungary, Honduras, Latvia, Spain, South Korea, Romania, Lithuania, and Estonia
