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.

We got some Arab troops last time, and a lot more money. Plus, a truly international coalition (i.e., one not perceived as a front for us) would surely have caused less of a backlash against us there.
eta: What Gatti said.
