First, what Kerry said:

Do these countries not count? Does Kerry not know of the amount of foreign support there was for this war? Maybe Kerry is just relying on the fact that the Press has been unwilling to mention the amount of nations who have pledged support. Get the word out on this one: America Did NOT go it alone. Lets stop
liars like John
Waffles Kerry from overlooking our allies. Here is more info on the Coalition:
The population of Coalition countries is approximately 1.23 billion people.
Coalition countries have a combined GDP of approximately $22 trillion.
Every major race, religion, ethnicity in the world is represented.
The Coalition includes nations from every continent on the globe.
