| So, what should this war/massacre be called? "Gulf War II: This Time It's Personal"
[02:26]"Holy Crap" "Bush: Part Duh" "The Sum of Oil Fears" "The UN-sanctioned War" "Planet of the Apes" |

| And could somebody please tell CNN et al that Australians are neither USian nor British so continually referring to the "combined US and British farces" in the Gulf area is an insult to all Australian troops in the area and may lead to evil marsupials invading your toilet. And me upgrading farces to a far more scatalogical term in retaliation. Even if I don't manage to get a UN Security Council Resolution passed in spite of all the moral fibre I have consumed. |

| Perhaps the Austrailians are considered a secret weapon? |
| Tom |
| Possibly. The secret would involve a guideline stipulating that flying helicopters into other helicopters, shooting down allied planes, throwing grenades into officer's tents are all really bad things to do. I know it's an odd concept, but killing your own people has never been a very successful tactic. Except in chess. You could contrast this (well, you could if anybody actually reported on it) with the behaviour of the Australian forces, in particular the RAAF planes aborting a bombing mission when it became known that it might cause civilian casualities. Australian troops are actually horribly bad at killing non-combatants. Or each other. I know, I know. I feel somewhat ashamed at the inefficency of my country's armed forces in this regard. Terrible, terrible shame. |

| " Operation: Liberate The Iraqis By Slaughtering Them " On the other hand, "Enduring Freedom" is pretty (ironically) accurate. |
