War with your buddies
Of late multilateral war, or what I like to call going to war with your buddies has been very popular in the US, even if you don't count Iraq war as multilateral. In The High Price of Friendship, suggests that doing this is a bad idea. The basic criticism is that for too many of our partners, we end up financing their participation, and since their troops are less competent, we'd be better off just using that money for our own forces.
