Message to Australian PM Howard: Our presence in Iraq is what emboldens

the terrorists.

:dunce: :dunce:

(and dubya) so much, then he should send 21,500 aussie troops to iraq.

No, Senator Obama's response was quite poor.
But that's O.K. because it is reasonable that he wouldn't be aware of either the neocon issues driving John Howards comments, nor would he be aware of Australian domestic issues with which to make a better response. He was on the spot, he felt he should say something.

The perfect response was made by Senator Wyden, that is the line the ALP are slamming Howard with here in Australia, even some of his own Ministers are turning on him for trying to villanize the US Democratic Party.

If you want to make John Howard into a good advantage for the Democratic Party, I suggest you expose the neocon agenda Howard and George Bush share -

-Bush funding Islamic terroism, Howard remaining slent about Indonesian genocide and the neocon corporations profiteering from that genocide

George Bush: President Bush also re-emphasized the United States' strong support for Indonesia's national unity and territorial integrity, and opposition to secessionist movements in any part of Indonesia.

Stop shaking it, and **remove** it, and see what happens.

that got Australia quagmired in Iraq...AGAINST the wishes of the MAJORITY of Australians.

So you have no right to speak of

-"democracy" as you obviously don't have a clue what it is;

-"embolding al Qaeda", as your illegal invasion & occupation, as your own government has reported, has caused the "embolding of al Qaeda" aruond the world and for the first time allowed terrorists to flourish in Iraq;

So really, Howie, as your own Senate CENSURED YOU for your LIES, dontcha think you should just shut the fuck up?

Your own people do.

So do we.

He already has a nickname, Little Johnnie. Thank you.

That's what I usually call him.

to contribute more than just 1,400 troops so some American troops can come home.
It's easy to talk tough when it's not your country or your troops making the sacrifices."

it's easy to talk tough when you have never been in combat . . . or service for that matter (and i'm NOT talking about howard).
