I'm listening to it for the first time, and I really think this song is personifying the United States and our allies in the "coalition of the willing."
Gearing the country up for war, the hawks boasted about all of our allies and international support that really only sent token forces. As they one by one withdraw their troops, the administration says "Well, we don't need them anyway."
But still the politicians miss them because they liked to propagate the idea that we're not doing this alone, and people are now seeing through their lies.
