Coalition of the billing!

Jeremy Scahill, author of 'Blackwater', was on C-Span2's Book TV being interviewed about his book on Blackwater, a military contractor that is working for the US government in the war in Iraq.

According to him, 40 cents in every dollar spent in the operation in Iraq go to war contractors. Describing how Blackwater and other military contractors have hired mercenaries from around the world to fight for them, Scahill called the war a "coalition of the billing", parodizing the expression "coalition of the willing" marketed by Washington. Haha, fits the bill!
