Australia heads to the Gulf

January 21, 2003 10:39 PM

Troops head to the Middle East The great lackey of the south Pacific knows an easy fight when it sees it. So why not join in on the grab for the oil and help set up a 'friendly' Iraq? This will be the opening mass bloodbath of the century, but don't expect to see or hear much of substance about it.

skinsuit, you seem miffed that more and more people are starting to see the sense in this. I haven't heard anyone insisting on Australian troops.

Eeeh... then again, sorry I thought it would be funny to troll this thread in response to such a badly written FPP, but it's been a long day for Metafilter. I retract it.

This is absurd. Why are we allowing this? Has everyone lost their f-ing minds? The whole world is willing to follow this mad, illegitimate bully of a president into battle without question? Two towers go down and everything equally sacred is abolished? Who's gonna take away his license to kill? (Dylan) I'm appalled. sigh.

You know I have seen things on MeFi that some would call Anti-American, but this is the first Anti-Australian post I have seen....

skinsuit, this thread is badly written and its purpose seems to be only to troll. I nearly fell for it, too. Next time, perhaps the guidelines would be a good read for you?
