sign of things to come

Whatever your political persuasion, living in a country with no opposition party can be a very very trying exercise.

In what is probably a sign of things to come, the Government have just announced to increase (yes increase) the number of troops serving in Iraq. The ABC reports that this is to replace the withdrawing Dutch contingent in a "reasonably violence-free" area of southern Iraq. According to the Prime Minister "Unless additional security could be provided to replace the Dutch, then there was a real possibility the Japanese could no longer remain there and that would be a serious blow to the coalition effort".

In all honesty John, why give a pathetic excuse for this stupid decision to endanger the lives of more Australians in a war we have no right to be involved in when you and your weak a piss colleagues know that no-one can stop you anyway.

Oh and if your wondering that sound you can hear is the opposition leader voicing his concern.
