blzrul Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 The Aussie PM is all but assured his fourth term with about 60% of the votes counted, giving as some would say a referendum on his support for the invasion of Iraq. His opponent would have pulled all Aussies out by Christmas. Thank God Howard won. What we would do without those 900 non-combat Aussies makes me shudder to think.

If his opponent said he'd have the troops out by Christmas, and he didn't get elected...sounds like the Aussies understand what we're doing better than a talking point liberal!

In America, although the debates have focused on Iraq, many polls consistently point to the economy being the top issue, with Iraq second or sometimes third. And we have a MUCH higher stake than the Aussies. Tellya what, why don't we pull out all but 900 people and see how much of a campaign issue it is anymore. Duh.

It just is not a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it "understanding" isn't a quality many of them seem to have these days. It's too threatening and frighting to them. Poor things. I wouldn't be surprised to hear or read some dumbass neocon crowing about the victory validating Bush's unilateral, illegal invasion of a foreign nation. I wouldn't even be surprised to hear Bush bring it up at the next debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
