Obama's on crack. You cant legislate the end of a war. And congress doesn't have the power to make decisions on troop levels. You Obama supporters ought to read the Constitution. Seems Obama doesn't have a copy himself.

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.
The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.
Your government has never listed to John Howard before, hell most of us don't listen to him! So maybe he's not the best person to cite as even a voice to be listened to let alone agreed with.

here's a thought johnny:
why don't you grow some much needed backbone and concentrate on getting david hicks home free, instead of sucking the arse of the US government.
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
the moment he lost his mind perhaps????

cate girl! Johnny will never grow a back bone! Not gonna happen!! Nah, I reckon they're up to something! And I reckon in a little while we'll be able to work out what. Maybe something to do with this Nuclear power thing they're pushing. Johnny's just deflecting our gaze from his actions on that by stirring up shit with America. Usually how he operates!
And I don't know cate, sometimes it seems they'll never let that poor man go. And we will never as a nation stand up and tell the American government in no uncertain terms that their actions in this case have been appalling!
I notice today though the headline board for the papers are saying Kevin Rudd is at 63% popularity. Interesting! Maybe the times are a changing?

He's not Ahnimus. He and his cronies prefer to leave any reading up to the Americans to do and then get them to inform them of their options and prefered course of action. Just ask Phillip Ruddock!!

I have no confidence in Rudd not to take us down the same path as Johhny from a conservative religious standpoint! When are we going to get a real alternative that is clearly interested in separating Church and State? And you're right, Labors previous economic mismanagement is definitely cause for concern. But yeah, I'm sick of living in a country that keeps taking it up the kyber because our government keeps making easy access.

I think its really only about halfway in so far. Johnny is lubing us up for full penetration.
-C Addison
Sshh!! Don't freak me out!! I try to ignore him whenever and wherever possible, but it is getting harder and harder to do! But you're right, I'm quite sure he's working up to something quite, quite hideous! :eek:

He won't win another term in office, surely. . . Will he?
I mean come on, after David Hicks, gay marriage, Iraq, mandatory detention, children overboard. . . and there was the old fashioned rogering he gave the sugar growers when he signed the free trade deal with the seppos, climate change denial, poor handling of the tensions with the pacific nations . . .especially in the current climate of anti-american sentiment. Surely he won't win another election.
But that's what I thought about Bush getting is for a second term. I really hope we aren't as dumb as that.
-C Addison
All extremely valid reasons to boot his ass out of office sscott but, gee I don't know. I think maybe we aren't as dumb as that, but Johnny keeps getting in on preference, doesn't he? The Nationals have really helped him there, and Labor, The Democrats, The Greens, none are standing out as a single good alternative. People go with what they know, unfortunately.
And I cried way back when he got in initially. I said to my grandma on the day he was elected. He's just like a really dodgy guy in a nightclub that keeps popping up and asking you to dance. You keep telling him no, but he keeps popping up. You don't then go get so drunk you take him home and f**k him!! That's how it felt to me anyway. He'd been trying so hard just to get to be the leader of the opposition, and then all of a sudden PM? His election was worthy of tears and still is.
And don't get me started on George W!! :eek:

Well we are struggling here to keep our cultural and language from being over run by Americanisms. Not that there's anything wrong with America but we don't want to lose our own culture and heritage and language to crappy American examples.

funny, i coulda sworn my copy said something about war powers being expressly delegated to congress... id double check but my constitutional law textbook is WAY to hefty to be lifting at this hour.
anyway, ive got to side with obama here... if this dude's so gung ho about iraq, how come he's committed a whopping 1000 troops to non-combat roles and nothing more? if he's so worried about boons for the terrorists maybe HE can cough up a few more soldiers to actually fight.
See?

Represent? Isn't that one of those americanisms?

Oh god say it isn't so. I just put it together...In Afghanistan is a very famous geographic spot known as the Khyber Pass....You guys didn't spend any time in Afghanistan did ya? Cuz if so, that's a really nasty name...
It's completely out of Howard's character to not understand how this would actually elevate the standing of someone who's ideologically opposed to him. And even more, to possibly damage the relationship between the leadership of the two countries, considering how much he values the alliance. Seems to me he's getting ready for retirement, since this just smacks of his final effort at cozying up to his slavemaster in the White House, with no thought whatsover of the consequences.
Of course he feels this way. Wouldn't expect anything less of him. But to be so outspokenly interventionist- it's just baffling why he'd do this.
How about the fact that our population is about 5% the size of America's? So if we were to make a contribution (which we shouldn't have) it should be about 5% of America's. Of course that's a completely lame argument, because we sent 50,000 troops to Vietnam in support of another stupid american war, and our population was significantly smaller then.
A better explanation is that our contribution is just a token show of support by our Bush puppet of prime minister, designed to keep that anal passage well lubricated while not provoking too much outcry from the australian public.

Sounds like you guys have your own George W down there from the sound of it. Nasty convservative despised by the young, yet bewilderingly re-elected by the majority...We get it. Got one of them here. Love Aussies myself. I did some serious drinkin with you guys whilst on holiday in Bali many years back....Sadly, the same bar that I met so many cool Australian in was blown up just a couple of years after that by some lovely little muslims.
I don't know much about your PM other than the fact that he stood by our stupid ass President. Some of us are actually quite greatful for that...At one time our countries had common enemies, now it seems all we have are common problems...
Isn't the Kyhber pass in Pakistan?
-C Addison
But my brain is a little tired! Any better suggestions? I mean some rhyming slang would be great scott!

Yes! That's what it's named after I think! There was a very funny ad campaign here years ago, which I can barely remember but Khyber Pass was the joke.
