Pro-intervention liberal senator John Kerry (D-MA) calls for an Haiti invasion force "similar to the international one used in the Persian Gulf... Granted, it will take leadership and persuasive power to build the coalition. But the United States succeeded in both regards in Grenada, Panama and Iraq..." [NYT 5/16/94]

Question: What kind of international coalition did we have for Grenada and Panama?

Some how - as usual the US Coast Guard was forgotten - they were also involved - at least in Grenada not sure about Panama but probably were

Quote:
Coast Guardsmen have also participated in the country's most recent conflicts. Three were assigned to U.S. forces in Operation Just Cause, the liberation of Panama in 1989.
