"As
the war in Iraq grinds on, we can take at least one comfort as the president
reiterated recently -- we are not alone [on screen: Bush saying, 'The success
of a free Iraq matters to every civilized nation. We thank the 36 nations who
have troops on the ground in Iraq']. 36 nations ... a fact not at all
diminished by the fact that it's actually 25 nations. You can see it's a very common
mistake. 36 is six squared, whereas 25 is five squared. Knowing our
commander-in-chief, he's probably thinking in higher math again. You should
hear how impressive our coalition sounds in base two." --Jon Stewart
"Anyway,
who's still in our coalition? Let's take a look. Romania, they've got 500
people there. That's enough to fill a movie theatre. Many of the Romanians, of
course, are vampires. Armenians have got 46 soldiers, that's enough for one of
them Atlantic City buses. One of the few places, by the way, more depressing
than Iraq. And then there's Iceland. They're counted in the coalition as much
as the United States is, and they've got enough people to fill a suit. That is
not a typo. That is the numeral one. And she wasn't a troop. And she just
left." --Jon Stewart
