Australia’s Prime Minister, John Howard really gets the War on Terrorism.
After responding to Barack Obama’s call for a total U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq by 2008, with, “If I were running al-Qaeda in Iraq, I would put a circle around March 2008 and be praying as many times as possible for a victory not only for Obama but also for the Democrats," he's unabashedly followed that up by saying, “I hold the strongest possible view that it is contrary to the security interests of this country (Australia) for America to be defeated in Iraq.”
It most certainly IS.
Howard added, “Let me make it perfectly clear, if I hear a policy being advocated that is contrary to Australia’s security interests, I will criticize it.”
John Howard gets the reality that neither America, Australia or the rest of the West can afford a negotiated “peace” with radicalized Islam.
It’s either victory now (that’s us crushing THEM) or 100 years or more of more war.

You''ve gotta LOVE this guy!
OK, maybe not as much as Steve Irwin, but he's right up there now.
Hey JMK,
ReplyDeleteJohn Howard is an idiot. He has no place interfering in American politics. And as I wrote in my blog, he is ugly. But the most appropriate response to him came from the Obama camp. If he believes what he says, why is n't he sending more Aussie troops to Iraq, so some of our troops can come back?
BW, Australia's proportion of troops 1400 from a nation of appx 17 million is equivalent to 24,000 U.S. troops, given our population of 300 million.
ReplyDeleteMoreover, PM Howard has every right to take a stand on any issue or any policy, whether that policy be proposed in England, America or Germany, with regard to that policies impact on Australia's national security.
He GETS IT!
He realizes that there can be no negotiated "peace" between the West and the increasingly radicalized Islamic world. How come only Joe Biden seems to realize that among the Dems?
Islam must undergo a deep spiritual Reformation, if that must be forced upon them via the horrors of war, so be it.
