August 1, 2009:

The war in Iraq is truly an U.S.-only effort today after Britain and Australia, the last of its international partners, pulled out.

The quiet end of the coalition was a departure from its creation, which saw then-U.S. President George W. Bush court countries for support before and after the March 2003 invasion.

At its height, the coalition numbered about 300,000 soldiers from 38 countries– 250,000 from the United States, about 40,000 from Britain, and the rest ranging from 2,000 Australians to 70 Albanians. But most of the United States' traditional European allies, those who supported actions in Afghanistan and the previous Iraq war, sat it out. It effectively ended this week.

Mass protests were held in many countries, including Spain, which was one of the most notable withdrawals from the coalition.

American combat forces withdrew from Iraq's urban areas at the end of June and all troops are to withdraw by the end of 2011, according to the agreement. President Barack Obama has ordered the withdrawal of U.S. combat troops by Aug. 31, 2010, leaving roughly 50,000 troops to train and advise Iraqi security forces.

The United States is now a coalition of one!

In Afghanistan the current forces include 62,000 U.S. troops and 39,000 allied troops, plus about 175,000 Afghan Army and police. Some of the allies plan to pull their troops home in the next couple of years.
