Why don't you compare the list of countries and their contributions from Gulf War I and Gulf War II. George H.W. Bush understood the value of putting together a real coalition and building international support. His son understood the value of a PR strategy designed to obfuscate the difference between the earlier strategy and what he was actually doing.

Here is a list. As you can see, the notable absences are the Canadian hardware and the 18,000 French troops.
No German, Belgian or Russian troops to be seen.
We seemed to have picked up a lot more former Soviet Bloc countries this time around. And we aren't exactly lacking in transports or hardware.
