The energy and compassion with with liberals attack each and every tidbit of information that could further their cause would lead one to assume they dance with glee each time the opportunity arises. I don't knock Rips statement.

I wouldn't say all liberals enjoy seeing soldiers die in Iraq... but then actions speak louder than words don't they? You reap what you sow.

Ripsnort,
Amazingly new low even for you. Too bad you don't even realize it.

So go blow you'r liberal horn somewhere else.

lol, your an idiot

Even after the govt. promised to pull all our troops out after the end, we're still there....but I doubt you'd be satisfied until our diggers are also being killed everyday, with gratitude like that do you wonder why no-one really wants in?

RAAF personnel to remain in Iraq

The Federal Government has extended its deployment of about 160 troops in Iraq for a further six months.
The RAAF Orion detachment was due to return to Australia in January.
But the Defence Minister Robert Hill says its role has been invaluable to the US-led military coalition in the country, and it will now remain in Iraq until the middle of next year.
Opposition Defence spokesman Senator Chris Evans says it is a sign Australia is becoming bogged down in a long and costly battle in Iraq.
"This decision will add to the $280 million bill this year for our deployment inside Iraq," he said.
"Of course Australian forces are at great risk given the heightened security problems there."

About 850 Australian troops are still deployed in Iraq.

Austrailia has what about 1/15th the population of the USA?
15 x 850 = an equivalent national deployment of 12,750
Thanks Austrailia, here's one American who appreciates the help. (if 850 is right , I'm taking the word of someone (anyone) on this BBS)

We haven't reached the end tronski, GWB announced the end of major military action, not the end of the war. All that meant is an end to strategic bombing and 500 strong tank maneuvers. A lot of work yet to do.

If it had been anybody but Ripsnort, I might have responded with an ascerbic remark.

Oh and Mr. Black - FU. Scores of British troops have already died in this enterprise and I would be surprised if the body count does not increase further. Typical Yank-o-Centric remark.

Actually, I believe the truth is that the typical "yank-O-centric" sentiment in this regard is a sense of gratitude for the willingness of allies like the UK to share the burdens of a war we all should have been willing to engage in much sooner than we did.

Yank-o-Centric = US is centre of universe around which everything else revolves

This IS the sentiment Mr. Black has expressed. Just because you may not share it does not alter that fact.

Ripsnort you have become a total caricature of yourself.

I realize what you mean here, but you miss my point. It was more the descriptive "typical" that I was referring to. The quotation marks I used in the prior post were meant to accent what I meant.

"Well, considering it was the Italians who let Abu Abbas walk after the Achille Lauro incident.... no great loss if they leave."

I take it you've never heard of Orlando Bosch?

OK. Let me put it in terms you might understand - you're talking about the "typical American" viewpoint, I'm talking about the "typical Yank-o-Centric" viewpoint. There is a difference.

According to the big bang theory, not only did matter and energy expand from the original creation point, spacetime itself expanded from that point. All points in the universe were at the original start time, one and the same point. They are still in essence one and the same point, and each can with equal validity claim to be the center of a boundless yet finite volume which is our universe.

Therefore, Yank-o-centric theory, declaring the USA the center of the universe is as valid a theory as any.

Thank-you Dr. Hawking. Although it seems to have escaped your attention, I was not talking about spatial relativity.
