    Secretly withdraw?
    How the fu(k would you do that, in the middle of the night or something>?
    Oh, maybe there’s an election coming up down under?


  3. Retrogrouch says:

    Oh, the mighty Coalition of the Willing. The rest of the world is smelling the BS that the loyal ‘Pubes cannot.

    It’s not much of a secret, is it?

    John Howard:

    People of Australia..

    You know the soldiers I sent to DIE for George W. Bush?

    Well, I’m SECRETLY BRINGING THEM HOME.

    But just for FUN, I’ll continue to let you think they could STILL be DYING at any time.

    God bless you SUCKERS, err.. blokes,

    John Howard


  6. Gus Smith says:

    Why wait until February, 2008? If something is wrong, it is wrong and needs to be ameliorated as soon as possible, not later. Only more deaths will happen in the interim.


  7. Jay Randal says:

    Well it is NO longer a secret now > lol.


  8. cali says:

    Howard says Iraq pull-out report ‘absurd’, we’ll see if Rudd was right about Howard.

    PM to pull Iraq stunt: Rudd
    I suspect as part of the election he may announce he’s going to withdraw troops in order to try and get that political monkey off his back.”

    Comment by Punchy — June 30, 2007 @ 11:25 pm

    I certainly would have no idea but I think that if you have “limited” troops, pulling out early goes unnoticed.

    Cheers to Australia for the intelligence to get out before the pillowtalk


  14. Jay Randal says:

    British are supposed to pull out of Iraq at the same time, so it will just be American troops in Iraq and a few drunken Polish troops > lol.


  15. Retrogrouch says:

    The rest of the world doesn’t have a horse in this race and they know it. Even some of the smarter ‘Pubes know it. This is Bush’s vendetta, in addition to the lame attempt to show that tax revenues are best spent on privileged government contractors to conduct a doomed police action. Saddam is dead. Cut it the F loose already and stop wasting American and Iraqi civilian lives.


  16. Kilo says:

    You would think that after the same reports have surfaced about 40 times over the past 3 years in your own country you might get the idea as to where these reports come from and what their purpose is.

    Especially 4 months before an election.


  17. Pat says:

    Too bad GHW Bush didn’t pull out about 61 years ago…we’d all be a hell of a lot better off. I’m just sayin…


  18. dlet says:

    John Howard: I fully support the “war on extreme terroristic activty with thinking to hurt people that have the ideas of mine” but this occupa…I mean war in Iraq is just a breeding ground for us to be there further and by “we” I mean the US. I’m outta there.

    Indeed, we might have been labelled “terrorists” of shit sorry those were freedom fighters


  23. Ben Dover says:

    I smell an upcoming election in Australia, mate. When I was in Australia at the time of the 2004 election in the United States, at least four different times I had it explained to me that “we have John Howard as our leader for the same reason you have Bush – people are too ignorant to look beyond what the bible thumpers are saying.” I hope, given the trouncing that the freedom fighters in Iraq have given to the coalition of the willing (what a joke that name is now!!), John Howard will be the next leader of a nation to fall because of his steadfast support of Bush and his folly in the Middle East.

    Comment by Jake —

    That’s where you “US is the righteous and bestest” thinkers are so wrong. In 1776 there was an ideology to fight for. You want this conflict to be linked to back then so bad you can taste it and yet it is so wrong you can’t admit it. Killing Muslims doesn’t make our country free as the conflict in 1776 did.

    Comment by dlet

    You do realize that was about upper upper class white Englishmen fighting w/ other upper upper class white Englishmen. They never intended to let women vote or own property. Washington died owning 300 slaves, and killing Indians wasn’t even seen as a crime. “Free” is a relative concept.

    And if you’d bothered to ask someone outside of the commune you might have gotten a different answer.

    Familiar with Russel Crowe’s work bashing up random civilians are you ?
    His twin was the leader of the opposition party last election. Except with a less of an economic policy than Russ has.

    Believe me I know. I am not here to place the beginnings of our country as the best but it has progressed to be what it is today. Change happens for a reason. Either that reason is for oppression or it is for enlightenment. I like to think we have been on a path for the better with a few “bumps” in the road. My point is only that no country is perfect and when you think yours is…that’s when you lose any opportunity to make your country better.

    With all due respect, these weird cobbling together of descriptors has become boring at best. I think that if you would provide context and some rational clarity for your over reliance upon them I might begin to understand what you mean to say.

    Sorry about the cut/paste but I wish to retract this earlier stance. I think I find the kooky descriptor nonsense superior to the newest weirdness.

    Check out Pakistan’s English Language newspaper Pakistan Dawn. They have several articles about the situation there.

    ___More than donations the US armed forces have the capacity to move large quantities of food, water, and material quickly.

    Transportation is the hard part here, and the simple act of sending in a limited number of helicopters would allow for the Pakastani to move materials much more quickly. And planes allow for moving large amounts of material to staging areas.

    I’m certain that we have aircraft in the area.

    _______There’s opportunity here as well. Disasters provide an opportunity for enemies to put aside enmity out of a sense of humanity.

    Good will is not a concept supported by our leadership.

    Helping people in need after a tsunami or a hurricane or any other disaster is an idea rejected by the philosophy of the Bush administration. They believe it is not the Governments responsibility to “help” anyone.

    Unless that help comes in the form of a no bid, cost plus contract for Haliburton.

    • Which is the month before the Democratic plan’s April redeployment date.

    Apparently co-conspirator Howard can count the votes and knows that Bushco is being forced to close the cantina.

    • Somebody put Boy Wonder on suicide watch.

    He’s the guy at the State dinners eating with the plastic fork and knife.

  104. Mr. Bush Goes To Hell says:

    Let’s have Hillary go up against Cheney. NO CONTEST. Hillary WINS.

    Your FANTASY of the EVIL Cheney ever being president will be dashed….

    Now, the BEST part!!:

    She will ARREST the TRAITORS Bush and Cheney for TREASON.

    And have them TORTURED in Gitmo until Dick DROPS DEAD from a MASSIVE HEART ATTACK.

    Bush will then commit suicide, leaving a note that he is indeed a
    COWARD and TRAITOR.

    All of the Bush cronies are arrested, and join Scooter Libby, who is now a CRACK WHORE in prison for life, having assaulted a guard…

    It will then be reported that Cheney CONFESSED before he expired.
    And that he AND Bush ARE TRAITORS, and DESERVE the TORTURE…

    And America then can be a GOOD place again!!!!

    Have a NICE DAY, azzhole-licker of the IslamoTERROIST TRAITORS Bush and Cheney!!

    Cheney for MASSIVE HEART ATTACK in 2009!!!!

  105. Jake says:

    Hillary will never ARREST the TRAITORS Bush and Cheney for TREASON and have them TORTURED in Gitmo.


  106. o'really says:

    Not so secret now. Ssshh! No one tell the Americans. They are always bunging these kinds of things up.

    I think this is in response to Howard’s low poll ratings in the run up to his Prime Minister re-election bid. Guess Australians don’t like the frakken war either.


  107. o'really says:

    Sorry for the double post. Wishing people would die is not exactly socially acceptable behaviour. Sometimes it’s how you treat your enemies that defines who or what you are. I don’t want Cheney or Bush or any of these war criminals to die. I want them to go to prison and not be tortured. No human deserves to suffer under a government’s tyranny. Even if they created that tyranny.

    Go…go…do the Hague. War Crime Tribunals for all y’all war criminals.


  108. Jake says:

    Truman had low approval ratings when he left office because of the Korean War — there was only one direction he could go from there — history will be the judge of Bush as well.


  109. AlanDownunder says:

    Further superfluous clarification of Bush’s indelible place in history is inadvisable.

    Americans will be charmed at how Howard negotiated with Bush an Iraq gig that has yet to yield one Australian combat victim.


  110. Jake says:

    Are you claiming Australia has not lost any soldiers in Iraq? There have been at least 284 allied soldiers killed in Iraq: Australia 2. Bulgaria 13. Czech Republic 1. Denmark 7. El Salvador 5. Estonia 2. Hungary 1. Italy 33. Kazakhstan 1. Latvia 3. Netherlands 2. Poland 20. Romania 2. Slovakia 4. South Korea 1. Spain 11. Thailand 2. Ukraine 18. United Kingdom 156. As of 28 June 2007.



  111. Jake says:

    Oh, you are discounting the following as non-combat deaths?

    04/21/06 Kovco, Jake Bruce Baghdad (Green Zone) Non-hostile – weapon discharge

    11/06/05 Nary, David Russell Kuwait Non-hostile – vehicle accident


  112. Tom3 says:

    John Howard is Chimpy’s Nancy Boy. He doesn’t give a shit about Australia.

    Another traitor who deserves hanging…after a fair trial, of course.


  113. Tom3 says:

    Vote for Cheney…if you want lots more crosses in the ground.

    Dumbass troll.


  114. Tom3 says:

    Stupid troll slipped up and admitted Chimpy and Cheney are TRAITORS.

    Way to go, dumbass!!


  115. Tom3 says:

    “Those aren’t grave markers.
    Those represent Loyal Cheneyites.”

    Loyal Cheneyites BELONG in the grave. The sooner the better.


  116. bob h says:

    Didn’t Howard slam Obama for defeatism on Iraq? Obama, blast away.


  117. Tobey Tall says:

    The Danes are leaving next month too


  118. Tobey Tall says:

    The germans parliment want out of Afghanistan too


  119. AboveTheClouds says:

    After four years, 3,600 America soldiers’ deaths, and $2 Billion per week, George Bush still can’t convince America to give a shit about Iraq. With this type of investment, one has to wonder if “victory” is what Bush is really after? Besiides, would any sane man let guys like Rumsfeld, Perle and Wolfowitz dtermine his “legacy” in history?

    Comment by Mr. President ®

    Yeah, I figured you’d even cheat on the political persuasion test you were chortling about recently…


  121. Jake says:

    Tom3:

    I would point out that Hillary is never going to arrest YOU for treason and torture you at Gitmo — does that mean I’ve admitted you are a TRAITOR?


  122. Kilo says:

    Why not ?
    One guy wasn’t in combat and got run over.
    The other was checking his emails and thought it would be funny to put his pistol to his head and do a really great impression of blowing his brains out.


  123. Mr. Bush Goes To Hell says:

    Cheney and Bush for WAR CRIME TRIAL and HANGING in 2009!!!

    ETERNAL DAMNATION WITH THEIR MASTER SATAN FROM THERE!!
